Believe

We live in a world where many times what is true and honoring to God is unpopular. Most of the things Jesus said did not make him well liked. In fact, He was ridiculed and mocked. The Bible mentions that He didn’t even have honor in his own hometown! Nevertheless, Jesus continued to obey his Father. He never compromised his beliefs even to the point of death.

The disciples also followed in the footsteps of Jesus by proclaiming his teachings. Some of them were also killed for their beliefs. In 2 Corinthians 2:14, the apostle Paul wrote that we should spread the fragrance of Christ everywhere. John MacArthur stated, “The imagery comes from the strong, sweet smell of incense from censors in the triumph parade, which along with the fragrance of crushed flowers strewn under horses’ hooves, produced a powerful aroma that filled the city. By analogy, every believer is transformed and called by the Lord to be an influence for His gospel throughout the world.”

There are many ways to impact the world for Christ. Whatever path you choose in life, will you stand even if no one else around you will?

God will equip you with everything you need to stand.
