A vibrant and living trust in God, that is openly demonstrated and widely known, reflects the kind of faith that was spoken of throughout the nations of the Earth (1 Thess. 1:8). The strong testimony of faithful followers of Christ, whose devotion crosses borders and reaches many people, causes ministers who equip members of the Body of Christ and send them forth, to rejoice with thanksgiving to the LORD, because the Good News of Salvation is being proclaimed everywhere (Col 1:3-6).
Furthermore, a faith spoken of throughout the world, shows that believers are genuinely living according to what they profess, rather than hiding their devotion to one who loves us (1 John 4:19). Such a widespread testimony fulfills God's promise that His message still reach the ends of the Earth and bring glory to the Father, through bringing salvation to all nations (Is. 49:6, Matt. 28:19).
PRAYER: Heavenly Father and Awesome God, thank You for the revelation of Your Word and the manifestation of Your Power in my life, which makes my faith evident and causes others to speak of Your work in me. Please help me remain faithful until the end, so that those who hear about my life may see Your Light, turn away from darkness, and receive redemption through faith in Your Son. In Jesus' Name,
Amen.
From Romans 1:8
