The card made me think of the “World of More” that Christians are privileged
to live in. When God transports people from the darkness of sin “into His
marvelous light” (1 Peter 2:9), a whole new life opens up.
Romans 5 tells us some of the more that we have in
Christ: We have been “reconciled to God through the death of His Son” (v.10)
and therefore have “peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (v.1). We
have access to God and His grace (v.2). Rejoicing in trouble is now possible
because we understand that it’s an opportunity to grow in our character through
trusting Him (vv.3-4). Additionally, the Holy Spirit, who has been given to
live in us, pours the love of God into our hearts (v.5). And sin no longer has
the same hold on us (6:18).
As Christians, we have unlimited access to a real “World of More.”
Wouldn’t it be selfish not to invite others to join us in that special world?
Belonging to God brings boundless blessings. (RBC)
