 29 AUG 22 Monday SOAPS DEVO

(Scripture, Observation, Apply, Pray, Share)

Reading Plan: Psalm 25; Job 12:1-25; Acts 11:19-30; John 8:21-32

S- Jesus continued, You are from below; I am from above.  You belong to this world, I do not.  That is why I said that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I Am who I claim to be, you will die in your sins. John 8:23-24

O- The bad news in the gospel is that not all will believe and be saved.  Let that sink in. The road to hell is wide and many will go there.  We see their rejection of the gospel and become angry, sad, or frustrated.   It should humble us that by unmerited favor, we are his.  We must be salty, and tell people if they don't repent and believe, they will die in their sins.

A- I will remain faithful to sharing the good and the bad of the message.  I will give thanks for the mercy and grace of God for bringing me into a right relationship with Him.

P- Lord, you know we get sad and frustrated when people turn away from the message of salvation.  Comfort us and remind us of the mercy and grace afforded to us.  Help us not to withhold the salt of your message, but to share in boldness.  Amen.
