Hear and Understand

Colossians 1:5&6 "Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel, 6 which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and growing—as it also does among you, since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth,"

Jesus has left us the blessed calling of discipling the nations. We must take the gospel to all of creation. Every person must hear the good news of Jesus Christ. What will mark the Christian as different from the lost person, both after hearing the gospel, is the understanding of grace in the Christian. The Christian will see his need for grace. The Christian will see the free provision of grace in Jesus. The Christian will understand his need for and Christ's provision for forgiveness. We must speak of the preeminence of Christ. The glory of our holy Head should be constantly before our eyes.

Pray to the One who is all that you need.
