Gifts from God: Part 4

Ephesians 6:15

and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. (ESV)

So as we continue looking at the Armor of God as gifts,

we need to look at the subject matter of the Gospel of Peace...
Which is ultimately, Salvation.
Not earned, but given, received.
Real security is only achieved in receiving the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
In that security, we are able to go forth in Peace proclaiming Him,
knowing our life is set in eternity. In that Joy we also find
the motivation to speak out to others and share the good news of Christ.

Having peace in what we are given through Christ should compel us to move!

Move to those around, Family, Friends, and even strangers.
But, again, we must MOVE!

The Great Commission

Matthew 28:16-20

Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus

had directed them. And when they saw him they worshiped him,

but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, "

All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them

in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.

And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." (ESV) 

We are commanded to move. We can rest in our peace granted to us by the Lord.

But we need to remember that others need that peace.

Its not just there lives that depend on our movement.

Eternity for them is at stake!

Put on your shoes, we need to be ready.

Take the step. Share!
