1 Peter 3: 13-15
If you speak the truth in love, and eager to do good, yet suffer the loss of friends or family, or anything else, the word says you are blessed. It shows Jesus that your heart is set apart for Him as LORD, not just your Savior.
I want to be known by love, and speak the truth in love. It's hard today to be calm. So much being pushed on us and our children. But one of the greatest things that has happened to me with studying the Bible, is knowing that no matter what my eyes see in this world, or what laws they pass in this world, in the end God has the victory. The story is already written and finished. We are just part of it. We are either for God or against him. People fight for their rights of everything. Fighting for laws to be passed that are against God's Holy standards. All over the world is feeling the affects of 1 John 4 verse 5... "They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world and the world listens to them."
Jump up to verses 1-3. This always helps me to get a clearer understanding. That the spirit of the antichrist is already in the world. It tells us that many false prophets have gone out into this world. Even some of those that teach in the pulpits of the church are teaching things that just keep people comfortable. As The Bible says, tickling their ears, 2 Timithy 4: 3-5. That's not the love of Jesus. Teach the truth, so the truth can set them free. Be a true friend, a true loving relative. But be prepared for some to hate what you stand for. But you are standing for Jesus and loving them with the truth. That is the meaning of this verse in Luke 14: 26-27.
As I see it, The Bible is being played out just as it is written, and Jesus will be coming soon.
So onward Christian soldiers.. Speak the truth in love, unashamed. You never know whose soul is dying to hear it.
For Your glory Lord
