I Just had the privilege of preaching all over the southern most parts of South Africa for the last three weeks. It is a very beautiful country with incredibly warm and friendly people. However, I was reminded in my South African journey how pluralistic the world's view is toward eternal things. While in SA, I spoke in an entirely populated Muslim school, ran into several Hindu's, observed a few Mormon's hard at work, ran into a few practicing Jews who are still waiting on the arrival of Messiah for the first time and spoke to many who were very religious but had no idea how to genuinely make peace with God and assure them a place in Heaven for all of eternity.
While reading this morning I was reminded, "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to man for which we are saved." Acts 4:12 Jesus is the answer. Jesus is the way to find peace for our hearts. He promises peace on the inside. A peace which enables us grow through the challenges we face in life. He is the only One who can give us power for daily living. His power is available to those who surrender to Him. His power enables us to turn our obstacles into opportunities. He offers His presence to those who receive Him. He promises never to abandon us. And most of all, He gives us the promise of eternal life.
Do you know His peace?
Do you experience His power daily?
Do you walk with His presence?
Most importantly, Do you know His promise of eternal life?
If not, contact my friends at www.team-impact .com. We would love to help you discover how to begin a relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ.
