Pleading The Lord´s Cause
Philippians 1:17
Charles Finney, a 29-year-old lawyer, was concerned about his soul´s salvation. On October 10, 1821, he retreated to a wooded area near his home for a time of prayer. While there, he had a profound conversion experience. He wrote: "The Holy Spirit . . . seemed to go through me, body and soul. . . . Indeed it seemed to come in waves of liquid love."
The next day, he met with a client who had come to him for legal representation. Finney told him: "I have a retainer from the Lord Jesus Christ to plead His cause and cannot plead yours." He left his law practice and entered the ministry. Later, he would be used mightily of God to bring others to Christ.
The apostle Paul was also called to plead the Lord´s cause. He wrote, "I am appointed for the defense of the gospel" (Phil. 1:17). The word translated "defense" was used in the ancient world for an attorney pleading his case in a court of law. All believers are called to share the wonderful news of the saving grace of God. "Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ´s behalf, be reconciled to God" (2 Cor. 5:20).
What a great privilege to be used of God to bring others to Christ!
Do we really care for those
Who live beneath God´s wrath?
The gospel must be shared with them,
To turn them from death´s path. —Sper

The good news of Christ is too good to keep to yourself.
Would you like to hear God?, through his Son Jesus you can, if the response is affirmative, there where you are raise a prayer to God: Don´t you know how to do it?, it does not matter, to pray it is simply to speak with God, to express our feelings to Him, as a suggestion might be something like this:
Father Creator of Heavens and the earth I recognize my sinner´s condition, I ask you to forgive my sins, I want that the Light that is your Son Jesus Christ illuminates my life and comes to reside in my heart, book my name in the book of the life, I accept you as my only and sufficient personal savior, in Jesus´ name, amen.
