The missionaries are not ashamed of gospel of Christ when they spread the Word of God to the Africans. It means you don't need to be shy or embrassed when witnessing to the lost souls because God is with you and God is powerful!
Before the salvation, there is no Armor of God in men. After a man gets saved, he receives the Helmet of Salvation that shows his salvation through Lord Jesus Christ. As long as a man is telling the truth, he has the Belt of Truth on his Armor of God. This man is so faithful in Lord and protects himself from the temptation, it means this man has a Sheld of Faith. Breastplate of Righteousness should be put on him if he does the right things everyday like respecting each other, loving each other, obeying God's commandents, and holy actions or deeds. The Word of God can be used to prevent the temptation, and a man can have the Sword of the Spirit. This sword is the God's Words that can destory the evil spirits or things like using the Word of God from the Bible to block the temptation of lust or addicting the shapes of women. The final part of Armor of God is the Gospel of Peace (boot of gospel). Armor of God carries the gospel boot (Gospel of Peace) by spreading the good news of Jesus Christ to everyone. And the important part of Armor of God is pray. WIthout pray, the Armor of God includes Helmet of Salvation, Breastplate of Righteousness, Sheild of Faith, Sword of the Spirit, Belt of Truth, and Gospel of Peace, will all be useless and no good. Pray is needed to support these things in Armor of God, so it can fight the evils better with pray. God can help anyone who prays with Armor of God on to fight the spiritual battle (good v.s. evil).
Men or Women can't love both masters (God and mammon "money"). It is impossible. When they love one master (God), they will hate another master (money) and don't care about money. If they choose to love money, they will not love God and leave Him. Love money is sin. That sin can seperate them from God. If they love God, they will hate sin like the money. One choose over two masters. Both masters at the same time is impossible.
If someone include friends or family hurt, judge, insult, abuse (beat), or make fun of you, don't pay them back with the same thing they did to you like hurt them back or insult them back because these are evil. Forgive and bless them (evil people) with love. It is like paying them (evil people) back with good deeds such as praying for them, forgiving them, and loving them. Be merciful because evil people don't know what is right and really need Jesus's help.
Ephesians 4:32 (King James Version)
"32And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you."
Be good to the people as Jesus was good to them. Be gently and forgivable like Jesus Christ. Forgive people as Jesus forgives people. If you don't forgive them, Jesus won't forgive you.
Evil people insult or mock (make fun) you because they did the same evil things to Jesus on the Earth. Be happy because you are on the way to the heaven. Show your love to the evil people as they do evil things to you, and the reward would be great or big in heaven.
You do not need to be a very good person with all good actions or behaviors or trying to be "perfect" to be saved through Jesus Christ. These good actions or behaviors will not work. You just have to do a simple thing, believe the gospel which tells the good news about Jesus's death, burial, and resurrection (back to life after death). Also believe that Jesus died on the cross to clean all people's, include your, sins (bad deeds or actions that pull you away from God) with His blood. Ask Jesus to become your personal savior (saves you from going to the hell) and ask Him to come to your heart and confess Him that you are a sinner (admit or tell Him that you are bad and do wrong things) and want Him to forgive you and your sins in your mind and heart. That is all you have to do. Sounds very simple?
When anyone once accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, Jesus will come and live in thier heart forever period. It means Jesus will never leave or go away from their heart to lose their salvation. He will always stay and live in their heart as He keeps and locks their salvation forever. Nothing can lose their salvation (way to be saved)
Noone or Nothing can cause us to lose God's love or God's heaven gift (salvation). Nothing possible to do that because Jesus have His awesome power to keep God:s love and heaven gift forever.
The first man and woman on the earth before us, Adam and Eve, broke God's law by sinning. They didn't obey God's command and they got disconnected from God. The sin was passed from Adam and Eve through death. When Adam died, the sin passed into Adam's children. When those children died, the sin passed to their children and passed on the generations. That is how sin spread all over in the world, including us.
Jesus Christ love us include all people in the world. He willed to die for us, while we were still sinner, on the cross because He loves us very much and wants us to go to the Heaven with Him. He is waiting to knock all people's heart incude yours to open and live in their heart.
The Action shows the love to the people and gives them the impression of its faith.
Always be happy because God provides us free gift, Eternal Life. Also always be happy that Jesus died on the cross to wash our past, present, and future sins away forever and He also loves us. Also be happy as Jesus is your best friend and personal savior, and He will never leave you. Be happy as God protects you all the time. Happy is faithful. Continue pray no matter which bad or good things happen in your life include our .Always give thanks to God because He did everything for you. He is perfect. When something bad happen to you, thank Him. He has reasons and can turn bad things into good things. He has a wonderful plan for you and all people.
God choose you and can only save you through belief and truth. God can change people's heart, but people can't change other people's heart.
Deuteronomy 31:6 (King James Version)
"6Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee."
Never feel alone because God is always with you all the time. God wants you to be faithful and brave. He knows He can watch over you and protects you. He never leave you because His love is great and holy.
