Like Stars Forever

The Bible says, "Those . . . who turn many to righteousness shine like the stars forever and ever." (Daniel 12:3) If we are wise, we will want to turn many to the righteousness that's in Christ, because it is righteousness that delivers us from death. It saves us from God's terrible wrath. Jesus said, "Blessed are they who thirst for righteousness," (Matthew 5:6) but how can we help sin-loving sinners to thirst for righteousness? The answer is that we can use the Law to help them to see their sin in its true light. Remember that it's the Holy Spirit that reproves the world of sin, righteousness and judgment to come. (John 16:8) Using the Law helps the world to understand that they need righteousness, because of the judgment to come. Without perfect righteousness, they will perish under God's wrath.
There goes another minute. Gone forever.
Go share your faith while you still have time.
