There's no amount of gratitude that will ever be equated to what Jesus did for us. There's not a single thing we can do to show we appreciate His dying. The one thing that shows our appreciation to His loving kindness and mercy is if we preach salvation and attempt to have someone get saved. When we go to church without thinking about others that haven't received Jesus, we would have become selfish Christians with no real love. Love saves. Love heals. Love restores. Love is what causes salvation. If we love, we will preach the gospel of salvation.
For so long I hated being around people. I always wanted to be alone, undisturbed and unbothered. That made me resent any kind of human fellowship. While I never harmed anyone by staying alone, having such an attitude can easily make one not want to share the word of God with others.
Having great shepherds around me has only stirred up the desire and passion to want to serve God better by attempting to preach salvation. I saw the great extents they went to just to get to go to church. The problems they encountered for having met a person like me. I wasn't exactly easy to talk to. I understand my shepherds had the worst of experiences in reaching out to me. Nothing would have occurred to me in my heart to attempt to write a salvation book, but for the love God has shown me.
We should make strides to expand the kingdom of God. God doesn't choose only some people to show mercy. He shows mercy to everyone. When you receive salvation, it's the mercy of God at your door step.
Eph 2:4-5 ¶ But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Eph 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) {by...: or, by whose grace}
(KJV)
Nothing speaks a higher volume of love than being shown mercy. We know we should have ended up in Hell. There is nothing about our former lives that is pleasing to God, yet somehow in God's kindness, He found it within Himself to want to forgive us and to afford us a second chance. No one will ever love us enough to want to die for us.
That handsome brother won't give his life for you. Our love for one another is limited in so many ways. Jesus broke all kinds of barriers when He died on the cross.
