"He that followeth after righteousness and kindness findeth life, righteousness and honour." - Proverbs 21:21. This verse talks about God's path to righteousness. God's path. The new way. Jesus Christ loves us. He died for us. He never abandons us. No wonder He said 365 times in the Bible "DO NOT FEAR!" The Holy Spirit instructed David to write about this. (SEE Psalm 91) Life is only available in Jesus. Who is the Path to Righteousness. "...For I have come so they might have life and have it fully" - John 10:10. We have the FULL Holy Spirit. Not that there was ever a part one. If we follow Jesus we will have everything we ever wished for. But we have to sustain that trust in Him. In the storm. The currents, tornados etcetera. Will you still trust Jesus? I have said this before and will say it again - Trust that God knows what He is doing. Having just a tiny bit of faith can move those mountains (problems in life) Luke 17:6 "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed you can move mountains" Trust In Christ, He is your Guide!
"But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." - 1 Peter 3:15. Whenever we are being trialled or tested for our faith, we should never deny it. Take the opportunity to tell them about God. Preach to them and give them the chance to hear about God. It may work, it may not. But all you know is, you accomplished your part of the mission. You've preached to them. Now it's there decision to come to Christ. Notice the Bible says do it with GENTLENESS. We don't use violence to try and preach the Gospel. We don't force people to believe in our reality. We use one of the fruit of the spirit (See Galatians 5:22 for a full list) Now you may wonder why Peter says 'with respect' when God says: "Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:" - Acts 10:34.
