TRYING TO JOIN THE DISCIPLES

It's natural to be worried when seeing your persecutor trying to be your friend and claiming to be your brother; yet, the confession of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, from the depth of their heart, boldly declaring the Good News of God's redemption for the transformation of souls still ignorant, resulting from deceptive teachings, is enough to immediately recognize and welcome one as another member of the Body of Christ (Acts 8:1). The obedience of a repentant persecutor towards the fulfillment of the Great Commission given to every Follower of Christ, testifies of their Divine transformation and union with the Father in the Spirit, as a faithfully flowing channel of His Redeeming Word (Acts 26:19-20).
Furthermore, the love we show to Brethren newly joined to the Body of Christ, encourages many spiritually, even as it makes them willing to stay equipped to work with us in God's Kingdom to advance whenever He demands (Acts 13:2).

PRAYER: In Lord Jesus' Name, thank You, Heavenly Father and Loving God, for taking away my fears and strengthening my love for You and those who are called in Your Name, which helps me in receiving all who are born of the Spirit by repentance and submission to Your Divine will, no matter their past. Please help to encourage more souls willing to submit to Christ's calling, through discipleship, so there may be more Laborers in Your Vineyard,
Amen.

From Acts 9:26-27
