Perhaps you have been in or have seen the result or the effect of a lake effect snow. A seemingly focused yet possibly blinding snow impacting visibility and travel.
Trusting in the work of Jesus Christ is a liberating, game changer that creates a new person and positions the believer in the Heavenlies. How? In Christ! One realization is it isn't religion or turning over a new leaf or even knowing about Christ. It is effective and transforms the believer/follower of Christ as they have their trust in Christ as their only hope to spend eternity with God. Have you become a believer;trusting in Christ alone?
The result is peace beyond understanding as you obtain God's mercy and find grace. It is the greatest of all. God's word is living and effective sharper than a two edged knife. It is efficient as well as effective.
As the believers are effected they should be effective, being focused, telling and showing the Good News of Christ seeing heart transformation followed by life transformations. True Christianity, effects the community around them for now and eternity. Bible says "We are not ashamed of the gospel or good news of Christ"
Apostle Paul wrote: "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." He also said: " There is now no condemnation to those that are in Christ Jesus." WOW! Paul wrote about what God did: "He did it to demonstrate justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies (Court terms) those who have faith in Christ. Quite effective!
By the powerful loving and effective Holy Spirit, the effected body of believers lovingly, focused, intentionally and effectively enter the neighborhood and as it says in the book of Acts: "Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ." Act 5:42.
