Scripture to Read: 2 Thessalonians 3:2
When we consider the fact in 2 Thessalonians 3:2, that “not all have faith,” it is very sobering in the midst of all we have seen happen over the last few months. Consider how COVID-19 has affected those who do not have faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. Many have lived in fear and panic of the effects of COVID-19. Then we faced the outbursts of anger from people across the country. These people are without faith; therefore they are dead in their trespasses and sins and walk according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is working in them because they are by their fleshly nature, children of wrath (Ephesians 2:1-3). For all of us who know Christ as Lord and Savior, hopefully, these things that have been happening have caused our own faith to grow and mature. Hopefully, we have become more aware of lost people God has placed around us. Hopefully, we have become more intentional about sharing Christ with those who do not have faith. God’s reminder to us that “not all have faith” should be our wake-up call to passionately pray Ephesians 6:19-20 and Colossians 4:3-6 for ourselves and for all other believers around the world. God commanded us to make disciples. Therefore, we must share Christ so those without faith are given the opportunity to turn from their sin and surrender to Christ.
