Hi Matthew,
I'd like to discuss a few things in the word with you.
Jn.3:16
For God so LOVED the WORLD, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM should not perish, but have everlasting life.
What a truly awesome thing that God has done to show the world his love. It comes with a stipulation, however. The clause, condition, or stipulatipn is that whosoever believeth in his son, Jesus !
This contract is OFFERED TO THE WHOLE WORLD, for his LOVE is so far above our human love that we cannot conceive it and his desire is that NONE will perish. It has to be accepted by those of the world and they must repent, confess, and ask FORGIVENESS to receive salvation. Its is not covering the world like a blanket.
The only way to receive the victory through Jesus is to have him in your heart, mind, and soul and to walk and talk with him as one.Now I'm sure you recognize the WORLD does NOT do this, but rather it serves the prince of world, who is satan.
I'm sure you will agree that our God wants us to know him and his truth and his WORD IS TRUTH, nothing' else ! Whatever man has to say cannot stand against God's word. What happened in the history of the Jews , it is a part of their history but NOT of the world.
The wrath of God has not been poured out yet as God described to John in Revelations. If that book was already fulfilled, there would have been a great war such as never was seen, it would have been between all that is evil and God.
We must take the time for our own vessels to keep them full with the word and the Spirit.
It is an honourable thing to want to share the TRUTH with others but we must know of a sureity that IT IS AS GOD SAYS, and not man. God is truth and EVERY man a liar !
Take some time my friend, quietly study and pray allowing the Holy Spirit to guide you. Then when he has prepared you with that zeal share the word and break bread in fellowship with his family.
We all need to quiet our minds and follow his leadings. May God give you guidance.
