God’s Salvation For All People

Who does God want to come to salvation? How should we share this good news?

God desires that all people would come to know him and love him. This is why Jesus came into the world.

The Apostle Paul wrote the Corinthian church, saying, “Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God, just as I try to please everyone in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.” (1 Corinthians 10:32-33, ESV).

When we share the good news of Jesus’ salvation for all people, we should do it in a loving manner.

Paul did not want to give any offense to anyone. Elsewhere, he said to “speak truth in love”. Paul desired to please everyone in all that he did to share the good news of Jesus, and we should do the same, so that everyone may be saved and know Jesus.

May we express the heart of God and his word as we share the good news of Jesus in a loving way to everyone we meet.

A Prayer for The First Sunday Of Christmas: “Almighty God, you have poured upon us the new light of your incarnate Word: Grant that this light, kindled in our hearts, may shine forth in our lives; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
