Would you say you were a good salesperson for God?
A good salesperson will tell you that, sales jargon is not
necessary for someone who knows what they want. Time is better spent describing
the features and benefits, ultimately encouraging the person to make that
choice!
Criticising other products is not helpful, as it will sow
seeds of doubt as to your integrity. It’s also not helpful to try and lock a
customer into a restrictive extended warranty. There is no catch with God – we are
the catch! Created in his likeness, we are all called by God (whether we
realise it or not). Called to be restless, within God’s peace. Challenged by
our internal affairs, holding Christ Jesus – God’s son, as our reference point.
Called to forgiveness, ourselves, and others. Called to radical living, in
sharing what we have received – unconditional love.
Did I mention a price, what will it cost?
Well, here’s the
paradox. It is of course free to those who accept it. However, it will take
everything you have got, and transform you into who God has created you to be.
Romans 12:2
Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test
and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing, and perfect will.
