7 It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me. 8God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
~ Have your relationships changed since you started walking with God? How has your relationship with God helped to bond you to others?
~ Do you find it difficult to defend and confirm the gospel in our world today? Why or why not?
I can definitely say that my relationships with people have changed. Whether they are strangers or people I've know all my life, I find that I look at them through different eyes. Eyes of love and grace vs. prejudice and judgement.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I do find it hard to defend the Gospel. I feel like I get stuck when non-believers don't believe that the Bible is God's word. The usual argument is that the Bible is a book written by man for man's purpose and that it wasn't divinely inspired.
