A Precious Privilege

5/15/14

I guess I forgot to include the back story. I had just watched the story of Jim Elliot that evening and afterwards read a document full of Jim Elliot quotes! Wow, If you get the chance read them! They are almost life-changing on your perspective! This was what was swirling in my head as I was trying to go to sleep! So I had to get it down!

"Do you know how precious a privilege that is? To be raised knowing the truth?.... From an early age hearing the precious story of Jesus love for us! So strong, that He gave his whole life to live among us to try and help us understand his character BEFORE giving His life to save us from sin! To take our place, our penalty in death that we may live not just on this earth but forever with Him!! Oh, what joy!!
Knowing this truth, gives you a responsibility to share it!
God gave you the Bible so you could be a living bible for Him and go where others could not! He died for you, so live for Him!
If God gave you the Bible, why are you still among those who also have the Bible when there are thousands who have no Bible!!! Be their Bible! Show them who Jesus is!"
