SHINE IN YOUR PLACE

Daniel 12:3
And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

God’s design for us as believers is not only for us to receive the righteousness of God through salvation, but also to actively participate in helping others to do the same. The Bible emphasizes that God does not find pleasure in the death of a sinner, but He rather desires for them to be saved and to embrace righteousness.(Eze.18:23)

Your salvation serves a greater purpose – to help others see the light and to lead them towards righteousness. By sharing the message of God’s love and redemption within your sphere of influence, you contribute to the expansion of His kingdom and the transformation of lives. This not only benefits those you reach out to, but it also causes you to shine just as our opening text today emphasizes.

Therefore, it is crucial to understand that you are called to be a beacon of light, guiding others towards the path of righteousness. Through your words, actions, and genuine care for others, you have the opportunity to make a significant impact on those around you.
