Sunday, April 1

You who were once alienated and enemies because your minds were on the works that were wicked, he has now reconciled by means of that one’s fleshly body through his death.—Col. 1:21, 22.

 

We have the responsibility to make known to our fellow humans that they can come into a friendly relationship with their Creator. Before humans exercise faith in Jesus’ sacrifice, God considers them to be his enemies. The apostle John wrote: “The one who exercises faith in the Son has everlasting life; the one who disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him.” (John 3:36) Happily, Christ’s sacrifice makes reconciliation with God possible. (2 Cor. 5:18-20) We share in teaching people spiritual truth, helping them to develop a personal relationship with Jehovah. This is an important part of our preaching work. w16.07 4:8-10
