Her is the most recent newsletter from Bob Loeffert with Grace Laborers:

Grace Laborers

I Corinthians 15:10 "But by the grace of God, I am what I am: and His grace
which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly that
they all: yet not I , but the grace of God which was with me."

Greetings in Christ's name, whose we are! We have been bought with a price: His
precious blood, His life, His resurrection, and the new life He has given us:
even Himself!

Oh! Knowing Christ! Do you rembember the moment when Jesus Christ was revealed
to you as "God the Son"? Just like when the Father revealed Him to Pter when he
said in Matthew 16:16 "And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ,
the Son of the living God!" If he has not been revealed to you, you must be born
again or you'll never see the kingdom of God. Recall what Jesus said in John
17:3: "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God,
and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." And I became one of Christ's Paid In
Full at the cross, His perfect, sinless life! And like Thomas said to Him after
His resurrection, "My Lord and my God!" How could we not make him know, if He be
truly our Lord? Christ in the old testament, speaking through David, through the
Holy Spirit, states in Psalm 40:2 "He brought me up also out of an horrible pit,
out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings."
When our Lord Jesus revealed Himself to Paul in Acts 9:20, "And straightway he
preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God." Likewise, when He
has revealed Himself to us and we know we are saved by grace and not by works,
we make HIM known by the power of God working through us. May our Gracious
Father grant us more of Phillipians 3:10, "That I may know him, and the power of
his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable
unto his death"! Lord Jesus, increase our faith so we might act like they acted
in Acts 20:24, "But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear
unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy and the ministry, which I
have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God"!

Has the Almighty Christ chosen and ordained and sent you to proclaim Himself as
Christ states clearly in John 15:16, " Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen
you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your
fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he
may give it you"! The Holy Spirit says in Proverbs 14:25 "a true witness
delievereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies."

Where are you at concerning the riches of Christ and the value of an eternal
soul? Christ or the world? Revelation 3:17 WARNS: "Because thou sayest, I am
rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that
thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked"!

Is Jesus Christ Truly our treasure? Is Christ precious to you? We should be like
Paul in Philippians 3:7-9 "But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss
for Christ. Yea, doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency
of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of
all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, and be found in
him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is
through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith." If you
are continuing to "win Christ" then truly He shall use you to win the souls of
men for HIS namesake! The Bible is clear here, as in Proverbs 11:30, "The fruit
of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise"!

This is the supernatural overflow of Christ's grace working through us!!!!

Oh, my dear brothers and sisters! Think of the sure grace and hope we have in 2
Thessalonians 2:16, "Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our
Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good
hope through grace"!!! Can the Bible be any more clear? Oh what riches we have
in Christ!

But think of the poor lost souls and what their portion is in 2 Thessalonians
1:8-9, "In flaming fire, taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that
obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: who shall be punished with
everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his
power"!!! Oh, for Christ's compassion to pray for and to lost souls and warn
them: did not our Lord come to "seek qand save that which is lost"?!!!

PS – I would glady join with you, anywhere, anytime, to make Christ known, His
grace permitting! Thank you for your continued prayer support! No finances are
needed at the present time. Thank you!
