Hebrews 8:11 NLT: “The people will not need to teach their neighbors, nor will they need to teach their relatives, saying, ‘You should know the Lord.’ For everyone, from the least to the greatest, will know me already.”
Jesus commissioned us to go and make disciples of all nations. God’s “New Covenant” makes that job easier, because most people already acknowledge some kind of a creator. They just haven’t identified Him yet! People in remote parts of the world with no knowledge of organized religion choose to worship something – the sun, the moon, or some made-up god. They sense that the universe, the earth and everything in it is far too complex to be mere coincidence.
Right now I’m looking at a tree – the symmetry, the geometry of attaching the branches, the exact number of leaves! If you gave me a year to design a tree, I doubt if I could get it right. God has made millions!
As believers, our job becomes identifying the one true God for all who seek. We can teach about the gracious God who sent his Son Jesus to rescue mankind from it’s sin problem. We can separate the real God from false gods. We can teach truth. Knowing Jesus, we can point the nations toward eternal hope!
Blessings to all as we begin this week!
