----ONE FAITH~~
-"Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; And there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone." --(1 Corinthians 12:4-6)--
----EACH OF US has a different personality, and every person, with his or her uniqueness, also has a special God-ordained purpose.
I believe God has given each of us a different personality type for reaching out to others with the news of the Gospel. In ways and circumstances unique to each person, we are called to be disciples of Christ and tell others of Jesus and His love. The Lord goes with us and is always inside of us (spiritually), leading and guiding our steps.
Although we may share the Gospel in different ways and live in vastly different circumstances, we share one faith. The faith that each of us has in the same true Jehovah Yahweh. There is only one G-D, and He is our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We have the same Baptism that brings us into the one family of God, we hear and believe the same word of God that tells of God's grace, and we eat and drink the same sacraments [body and blood / (wine and bread], (communion), that forgives every sin and gives us strength. God has built our personalities, given us spiritual gifts, and placed us in our communities for a divine purpose--to share the one message of Jesus and the life and salvation that is found only in Him. The Lord knows each of our hearts, and He will lead and guide us to know when and to whom we should minister for His glory. It may be in person. Perhaps by way of email, or sending a postal card. Prayer is of utmost importance. So let us all be about our Father's business. As Paul said, "Pray without ceasing. In all things give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." ---"For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." --(2 Timothy 1:7)~~ --"O Lord, help me to trust that You have made me and placed me exactly where You want me. Empower me to share the one true faith, using my unique gifts in the specific community in which You have placed me. Remind me to keep others in prayer for their special needs, in the precious Name above all names, Jesus Christ." ---"Good Good Father"/ Chris Tomlin ~ < https://youtu.be/06ZN4wC-ono> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
