We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

God grant me the courage not to give up what I think is right even though I think it is hopeless.

    Your Testament

    YOUR TESTAMENT … A TESTIMONY By Scott L. Smith, Vice President/Director of Development

    “For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.” Hebrews 9:17

    God, in Hebrews, used the example of a testament to explain the new covenant that He established through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This covenant between God and man was established by the tangible proof of the death of the testator (cf. v. 16), God Himself in the person of Jesus Christ.

    A legal “testament,” or will, is defined in Webster’s dicrionary as “an act by which a person determines the disposition of his property after his death.”

    Following our Lord’s example, we, too, can use our last will and testament to declare His New Testament in Jesus Christ to all the world. How? By making provision for the preaching of the Gospel in our will.

    Yes, your last will and testament can become part of an eternal testimony to the living hope that abides in Jesus Christ through faith. Not only can you faithfully and carefully provide for the needs of your surviving loved ones, but you can make provision for the preaching of the Gospel by including your church, missions, or organizations like Family Radio in your will.

    This is just one more way that we can see the marvelous truth of Romans 8:28 working for us. “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose.”

    Yes, even our death, as the death of Christ our Savior, can testify to the reality of eternal life through faith in God’s Provision. We can testify through our last will and testament to all the world that the Lord indeed reigns.

    Dear Mr. Smith,

    I would like to receive more information on wills so that I can continue to be involved in the preaching of the Gospel even after my homecoming.
