Oh this is what God does for us. Because of what Christ has done, God has brought us back to himself, as his friends. Now he wants us to bring other people to be his friends too.

So we don’t look at the things that we can see in this world. Instead, we look at the things that people cannot see.

We show the power of the Lord to other people. It’s like God has removed the cloth from over our faces. He’s changing us so that we become more and more like him. We show how great God is more and more clearly. It is the Lord who does of this, by the work of his Holy Spirit.

I pray that God, our father, and the Lord Jesus Christ will continue to help you. I pray that they will give you peace in your minds.

Do not let anything move you away from your faith. Continue to work hard as you serve the Lord. You know that whatever you do for him will not be useless.

Paul says my Christian friends, this is what I am saying to you: it is good when you want to speak clear messages from God. And if anyone has the gift to speak in a special language, do not stop them. But you must do everything in a proper way that helps people.

I am nothing if I do not love others. I Corinthians 13

King David and many others experienced this.

Church as a whole

God bought you for himself. He paid the price for you. So, use your body to show how great God is.
