“The Bible is Rated “R””

Almost finished with our THIRST blog series. We just recently rolled out a name for our GCC campus ministry, that also happens to be an acronym for our values. Today I’m focusing on the letter “R”, which stands for Restoration.

Restoration is pretty much at the core of everything that we do. By the fourth chapter in the bible, we see that due to our own actions there is an immeasurable gap between humanity and God that wasn’t always there. And the rest of the bible is pretty much God walking out His plan to restore the relationship He once had with us.

The exciting yet humbling thing is that we have a part to play in this restoration process. Paul said it like this, “We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us.” That’s a pretty sobering thought huh? Are we living our lives in a manner worthy enough to possibly be the only appeal from God to person?

Since I believe that the end goal of EVERYTHING Jesus did was to restore us back to Him, I believe we should have that same focus with everything we do. This is why as a campus ministry we value restoration between God and students, and within the student body.

So if “R” stands for Restoration, technically the bible is Rated “R”.
