MAKING A DIFFERENCE.

Once you become a follower of Christ and trusting in Him as your only hope to spend eternity with God, it will make a difference in your life!  So much so that it overflows into the believer making a difference in the life of others.  Apostle Peter wrote that God has given us all things that pertain to life.  This Biblical Christianity has nothing to do with religious exercise.  Peter writes elsewhere that we are born into a living hope!  All this doesn't have to be boring.  The Bible doesn't say to be an arm chair quaterback.  We have been called to go and make a difference as the body of Christ.

The Bible says; Moses, Joshua, David, Peter, John, Paul, Timothy, of course Jesus made an eternal impact as they  (intentionally), made a difference, giving God honor and glory.  You and I can do the same, as we walk in His Purpose, Power, and presence and provision!

What  does all that look like?
1.  Loving God.  Psalm 18:1 says "I will love you oh Lord my strength.
2.  Growing together.  Ephesians  4:11-16
3.  Serving Others.  Jesus said I came not to be served, but to serve.  we are to be Christlike.

There is a time of peace and rest but whether it is making or sending food, helping seniors, providing clothes and sharing the message of Peace with God through faith in Christ  we are to seize every opportunity to make a difference for now and eternity.

"But you beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.  And on some have compassion, making a distinction; but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire...."  Jude 20-22.
