Today’s Thought “A Do Over” G. Ward

“For the gospel has for this purpose been preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as men, they may live in the spirit according to the will of God.” 1 Peter 4:6

Declaring another as hopeless more reveals unbelief found in the very one proposing they know HIM (cf. Jer.32:27). The lessons we employ against one plagued in sin cannot be considerate of a different mercy for their (those comfortable in sin) infirmities vs. what our deliverance provided. The categorization of sin’s practice doesn’t belong to man, but loving by prioritizing the gospel’s reach is essential. In other words, daily reminders in castigation and ostracization via sharing with the “fat kid” how necessary it is that he lose weight without walking alongside of the victim (in diet and exercise), forgets their own defiance (cf. 1 Ti.1:15).

As you endeavor to love, remember Holy God pursued you (cf. 2 Pe.3:9); and HE is with capacity for others. Softly and Tenderly, Jesus Is Calling…

Happy Tuesday!
