Where Do You Put Your Faith?

1 Peter 1:1-9
What do you value the most in this life? Often when we are young, we want “things,” tangible expressions of independence, ownership, and power. As we grow older, we begin to focus on the intangibles: family, relationships, meaning, and time. Those who have experienced loss, illness, or rejection are immediately thrust into a period of deep reflection to prioritize what really matters.
I have often heard it said, “I don’t know how people can go through that without a belief in God.” The Bible is clear that we will pass through difficult times in this life.
God doesn’t cause our pain, but God can use it to point others toward a Savior who is ready to receive them. What will people say about you 100 years from now? That you had things and built empires? Or that you lived your life in good times and in bad times in a way that pointed others to Jesus?

As Christians, our whole lives should be lives of evangelism. Seeking always to show Jesus to others and draw others to Jesus anything else is fluff.
