The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Romans 12:1-3, “Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.
2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
3 For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith.”

“You’re wasting your time if you’re trying to convert him! He’ll never change!” Negative affirmations always abound! Yet, the truth is that people can change! What’s more, people often do.

One of the most unlikely men for change –yet, one who actually did, was the Japanese Naval Pilot, Mitsuo Fuchida, who led the infamous attack on Pearl Harbor that brought the United States into World War II with Japan.

Who would have believed that Fuchida would learn of the change
Jesus Christ had made in others and venture to give himself to Christ? Who would have believed that Fuchida would then become a Presbyterian evangelist, leading multiple Japanese men and women to faith in Jesus Christ? Yet, it’s true!

We all engage in things that are inapropriate before we’re saved.
Truth be told, we all engage in things inappropriate even after we
have been saved! Yet, when we confess those sins to Christ, He
is true to His promise: He forgives us and sets our feet on the right
path and at the right time.

Live in His Word, my friend! His Word (the Holy Scriptures) always leads us as we follow Him. If the LORD can transform a
man like Fuchida, He can transform anyone! He can transform you!
“Believe on the LORD Jesus Christ, and you will be saved…” (Acts 16:31).

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
