Our mission is not to convince people to accept Jesus, but to present the God who transforms. This goes far beyond words; it is about showing the real changes He makes in us.
The Bible shows us several passages of transformation that inspire us. Take the example of Saul who became Paul, who went from persecuting Christians to one of the greatest evangelists. And what about Zacchaeus, the tax collector who, upon meeting Jesus, completely changed his life… Through these examples, God reveals to us His power to change everything, and He does this with each one of us!
When we share our experiences and how God has transformed us, we are doing something incredible! Our testimony is like a light that shines in the midst of darkness.
Revelation 12:11:“they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.”
This means that your story can impact lives and show the truth of God’s love in action. And speaking of love, we cannot forget that it is this love that transforms us!
1 John 4:19:“we love because He first loved us.”
This love changes everything!
He turns hatred into compassion and despair into hope.
When we feel this love, we naturally want to share it with others. And that’s when transformation happens, because love drives us to act.
But who makes it all happen? It’s the Holy Spirit!
2 Corinthians 5:17, it is written that “if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”
This shows us that this new life in Christ is something we must show the world. And it is this new identity that we must embrace and live every day.
When we present the God who transforms, we are like mirrors that reflect the light of Christ. We are called to be the light of the world! Our actions and behaviors should be a demonstration of the transformation that God makes in us. And this inspires people to want that same change!
Therefore, our mission is not to convince, but to present a God who transforms lives! It is about showing the world that, through the love and grace of Christ, everything can change.
YOUNG KURIAKOS, decide to be an instrument of this transformation, allowing the light of Christ to shine in you and through you!
