Consistent Lifestyle!

And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.  And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not. Acts 28:23‭-‬24 KJV

Paul was a prisoner, but his mouth was not closed. He was limited in movement, but God's Word knows no bounds. Everywhere He is spoken of, the Word of God works wonders.

It does not matter how eloquently you speak; what gives your words efficacy is the Person of the Word himself. You can speak down fire, and blow tongues as you please; but the presence of Jesus is the key factor to the message about God. How do I speak about God's love without addressing the One sent as an expression of that love? How do I speak about the coming judgment of the world if I do not mention the One who has been appointed as the judge of the whole earth? He is the substance of the message, the one the Law and the Prophets testified about.

Just as it was then, so it is now: not all will listen and heed. It is an expression of free will and choices. However, please note that just as man has a choice, so does God also present us with his choices. If God has been true to his Word, then you can trust that one day, this present world will cease to exist, and all men will be judged using the standard God himself has set. May I not be found wanting on that day. His time of favour is here.
