Be a Witness

“The victory of Christ over the world and the powers is not a mere doctrine requiring intellectual assent; it is a fact that must become concrete reality in Christian experience through faith. To Jesus’ claim- 'I have overcome the world’ (John 16:33) corresponds the believer’s victory that overcomes the world, our faith’ (I John 5:4). In other words, the Christian is called to become what [he or she] already is. The imperative of the evangelical ethic forms an indivisible whole with the indicative of the gospel” - Rene Padilla, Mission Between the Times

in other words, “You are loved, love one another. Live out the grace that has happened to us.” Quite frankly, we (Christians) are not doing this very well.
