A life controlled by the love of Christ implores others.
Most every Christian has spent time wondering what the purpose and the will of God is for their life. This is a common question that most believers strive to answer. As we look to the Word of God, we can clearly define the mission that God has set forth for each believer. According to the Apostle Paul, we are each to be ambassadors for Christ, passionate in making our King known to the world.
It is time we, as followers of Jesus, take this call seriously. We must emulate Paul’s example, allowing the Holy Spirit to control our lives, which will produce within us a desire to implore the world to trust Christ.
