This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. John 4.17

The Gospel teaches us that God wants to make us perfect in His love, so that we can represent Him, just as Jesus did in His days on Earth – with dignity. Now, we are our Father’s calling card – to anyone who is referred to us by Him, to get to know Him. We must take advantage of the opportunities the Lord gives us, every time someone approaches us. Surely, the reward will be great!

We must believe in the Father’s love for us, for it was not in vain, nor without a wonderful purpose – that He sent His only Son to die on our behalf, delivering us from the empire of darkness. In the sacrifice of Jesus, we have full redemption, lacking absolutely nothing to be made children of God. Now we just have to understand what He has done, and live victoriously!

Those delivered from Satan’s slavery cannot accept the offerings offered by the king of wickedness, such as prostitution or any other shameful practice that harms our neighbor. Our lives will be very successful if we walk as Jesus walked: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him (Acts 10.38).

Many don’t care what they say, speak or do, therefore they will not have peace and confidence on Judgment Day. They have not perfected themselves in God´s love, but allowed themselves to be corrupted in religious doctrines, created to take man away from pure love and faith – in order to lead him to eternal damnation. Poor lives! They left the true commandment to preach and live the worst prostitution: the spiritual one!

The person who is perfected in divine love doesn’t live with one foot in Christ and the other in the world. Such a person doesn’t prostitute herself spiritually or physically, but takes pleasure in consecrating herself each day, to please the One who loved her and gave her the purity of faith in Christ. To persevere till the end is the secret to being saved: You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved (Matthew 10.22).

God showed a hole in the wall to the prophet Ezekiel and then told him to dig it up and see the filth that the priests had in their hearts, where the devil received the worship that should be given to the Lord (Ezekiel 8.7-12). When God shows a small hole in the wall, we must dig it up, for surely there is much more to see and understand about the things done on Earth. A difficult day will be the Day of Eternal Judgment; so – get ready!

Just as Christ is in the Kingdom of God, when He sat down at the right hand of the Father, after having received all power in Heaven and on Earth – so are we in this world. The mission given to Him is also meant for us. Jesus’ Go is for everyone! Those who cannot go, the Most High calls to sponsor those who are going. Get involved in evangelization!

In Christ, with love,
