God Will Provide for His Ambassadors Michael Edwards Can you imagine the United States of America or even the smallest and poorest country in the world sending Ambassadors to other countries without providing them financial support for their mission? Can you imagine God doing any less than man does?
Christians are Ambassadors for the Kingdom of God.
Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 2 Cor 5:20 ESV
While death is an enemy of God, He can and does use death at times to save the believer from evil in this world.
The righteous man perishes, and no man takes it to heart; And devout men are taken away, while no one understands. For the righteous man is taken away from evil, Isa 57:1 NAS
So, why doesn’t God take all believers immediately to be with Him once they place their faith in Jesus?
The reason is that we have a mission. We are no longer of this world, we belong to God’s Kingdom and are kept safe under grace, protected from the evil one, sent into the world as Ambassadors.
I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. John 17: 15-18 ESV
Since we are here to do the work of God, on a mission of utmost importance, led by and sent out by Jesus, do you doubt that God will provide for us while we are on our mission?
