Rebels

Romans 12:1–2 NKJV

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Present -

Everyone on earth has been infected by a disease called sin. The only antidote is the blood of Jesus.

The world needs rebels who will resist the prince of this world and advance the Kingdom of God, to introduce those infected by sin to the Savior. His name is Jesus.

The Kingdom needs earthly rebels. One man’s rebel is another man’s freedom fighter.

A person who loves others...

Philippians 3:20 NKJV

For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

Trials don’t make the man. They reveal the man.
