Blessed be the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Welcome as we study the Word of God, which is “a lamp to our feet and a light to our path” (Psalm 119:105). In our journey of faith, we must never forget to labor diligently in the work of God, ensuring that the message of the Kingdom reaches everyone. Yet, above all, make sure that you and your household are saved—your spouse, your children, and all those who live with you. You may wonder, “Is this possible, even if some of my family members completely reject the message of God?” The answer is yes—it is possible! Consider Rahab. When she was given the opportunity to be saved, she did not desire salvation for herself alone, but she sought deliverance for her entire family: Joshua 2:12–14 (NKJV)“Now therefore, I beg you, swear to me by the LORD, since I have shown you kindness, that you also will show kindness to my father’s house, and give me a true token,and spare my father, my mother, my brothers, my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.”So the men answered her, “Our lives for yours, if none of you tell this business of ours. And it shall be, when the LORD has given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with you.” Similarly, Lot was rescued before the destruction of Sodom, leaving with his wife and two daughters. He even warned other family members (Genesis 19:12–14). Noah also did not desire salvation for himself alone. The Bible states that the ark he built was for the salvation of his entire household: Hebrews 11:6–7 (ESV)“Without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. By this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.” Notice that the ark was not for Noah alone. God could have saved Noah by other means, but because he had a family and animals to preserve, God provided salvation through the ark. Noah was counted righteous before God (Genesis 6:8), but his household was spared because of his faithfulness. Even after the flood, we see that some family members, like Ham, were not entirely righteous (Genesis 9:20–25), yet they were spared because of Noah’s obedience. Moses demonstrated the same intercessory heart. When the Israelites sinned in the wilderness and provoked God to destroy them, Moses stood in the gap on their behalf: Exodus 32:7–14 (NKJV)“The LORD said to Moses, ‘Go down, for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves… Now therefore let Me alone, that My wrath may burn hot against them and I may consume them. And I will make of you a great nation.’But Moses pleaded with the LORD his God…So the LORD relented from the harm which He said He would do to His people.” Throughout Scripture, we see that those who receive grace have a responsibility to stand in prayer and faith for their households. God may have chosen you so that through your witness, prayer, and perseverance, your entire family may enter into salvation. As Paul told the Philippian jailer: Acts 16:31 (ESV)“Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” Therefore, pray earnestly for your family, share the gospel diligently with your spouse and children, and let your life be a living testimony of God’s transforming power. Salvation is not meant to be enjoyed alone—rejoice when it spreads to your household! The Lord’s return is near. Soon all worldly things will pass away, and the door of grace will close. Jesus warned that many will desire to enter on that day but will not be able (Luke 13:24–25). If you have not yet received Christ, do so today—He is “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). No one can see the Kingdom of God apart from Him. May the Lord bless you and your household.
