Dear Minister,
7/25/10
I read this week about those who were killed in Pakistan because they were Christians. They were persecuted in
Muslim countries simply because they did not accept Allah as their God. It was not because they committed any moral crime
but these people were persecuted because of their belief in Jesus. Here in America we do not have that level of persecution
though we do have some. So the people in the other countries that deal with this higher level of persecution appreciate
their liberty in Christ, and are on guard a lot like those in the first century that we read about in
the Bible when Saul was persecuting the church as a Pharisee. The persecution of Christians will get worse as we get
closer and closer to the rapture. The devil hates the church and the Jewish people and will persecute them as long as He
can. But this is not what this weeks sermon is about. Instead it is about the liberty we have in Jesus. We were
freed from the law and are no longer under the curse but under the grace of Jesus.
I encourage you to walk in the grace of Jesus for He does keep us from falling and He does love you for no mattter
what is going on in your life Jesus is there and will keep you no matter what happens to you for your life is held by the
love and grace of God and not by your deeds. Thank God he loves you when you cannot even love yourself. Focus on the liberty
that was purchased by Christ by the virtue of his sinless blood. This liberty is ours because of His work and not because
of our doings. Do not love your life more then you love you Salvation. What your Savior purchased is of much
greater value then anything you can see in this life. The value of what you have and what you see is the priority in
many people's lives. Give and it will be given to you. There is no man who has given up houses, family, land will recieve
100fold in this life and eternal life. God will bless you with more then you give up so never feel like you are
losing anything for God's love will keep you no matter what the devil tries to do to you. Love Him!
