MESSAGE TO BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS: A MUST READ

Beloved remember, before you became born again, you were living in sin. People sacrificed their time preaching to you in fellowships, streets, work place, pubilc vehicles etc. Born again friends of yours spoke to you severally about Jesus, but you snubbed them and didn't listen to them. But that did not stop them from loving you or make them give up on you.
They also exhibited unimaginable level of patience as born again christians, by the help of the Holy Spirit. They kept praying for you to give your life to Jesus and also hoping that one day you will accept Jesus and surrender your life to 'Him'.
God in his infinit mercy, was equally patient with you out of love, despite the countless times you dissappointed and disobeyed 'Him'.
Because of the love God has for you as a sinner, 'He' kept his promise which was revealed to Apostle Paul, who said in the book of Romans 8:35,38-39........
[35] "Who, then, can separate us from the love of Christ? Can trouble do it, or hardship or persecution or hunger or poverty or danger or death?
[38] For I am certain that nothing can separate us from his love: neither death nor life, neither angels nor other heavenly rulers or powers, neither the present nor the future,
[39] neither the world above nor the world below — there is nothing in all creation that will ever be able to separate us from the love of God which is ours through Christ Jesus our Lord"........

Then as a sinner you were, when you suddenly realized all these, a day came and you opened your heart and gave your life to Jesus and accepted him deep down in your heart, as your personal Lord and Saviour.

When your born again friends whom you snubbed when they first preached to you, heard the news about your genuine repentance, they were all thankful to God for your salvation, despite how long it took you to respond to their preaching of salvation.

LESSON:
As a newly born again christian, it is not christian for you to condemn and give up on another sinner who used to be like you, simply because the sinner snubbed you, while you were trying to preach the gospel of Jesus to him or her.
Beloved (born again christains) remember, other born again christians who first preached to you when you were still a sinner. They were patient with you even after you snubbed them. God also was patient with you in your previous sinful ways, out of the love he has for you.

Beloved, do not give up on that sinner, that you are preaching to, today. Your love and patience with them, even when they walk you out and snub you, can buy them more time to be saved. This act of love and patience is equally required from you as a newly born again christain, for them to be finally saved. Who will save that sinner if you give up on them. Beloved, always have it infront of your mind, that you were saved to save another. So that the body of Christ will expand.

May God fill you and me to the brim, with the fruit of love, patience and self-control, by the power of the Holy Spirit to save more souls for Jesus in any circumstance, amen.

May God bless and keep us all in Jesus name.
