What is your view or perspective or attitude toward others? Do you intercede for them? Do you pray for them? Are you thankful for them? Do you view God as your Savior? Do you know that he wants everyone to know the truth that will set them free and rescue them?
We may have disagreements with others. We may not like their choices in life. We may prefer they change their ways. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t pray and intercede for them, and thank God for them. There are many ways in which we can do so.
If there are people we disagree with, we should first pray that God is leading us in truth and ask God to reveal the truth to them. Without both parties pursuing truth, there can be no reconciliation. We can both pray and intercede for them. While doing so, we should also thank God for them. It is in our disagreement and seeking truth that we grow more mature in God.
Fully believing Jesus is our Savior is a key contributor to how we perceive others, but not the only one. Not only do we need to believe it, we also need to understand what having a Savior means and what He wants us to do with our belief. Simply believing can be selfish. However, if we put our belief in Jesus into action, we will tell others about Him and how He has had an impact on our lives. This is not a “pound them over the head with a Bible,” but our testimony that can be convincing and bring others to Him. This is done not only with words but with actions.
I pray we all believe Jesus is our Savior. I pray we put our belief and faith into action. I pray each one of us will pray for, intercede for, and thank God for everyone we know and encounter through our daily lives. Believe Jesus is your Savior. Put your faith into action. Pray for one another. Intercede for one another. Be thankful for one another.
1 Timothy 2:3-4 This is right and acceptable before God our Savior, who desires everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
