Blessed Life Fellowship

First John 4:17 says, "As He [Jesus] is, so are we in the world."  What does that mean?  Well, the popular saying that God's people are to be "the hands and feet of Jesus" is a common way to explain it.  Teresa Kemp's dramatic testimony of deliverance from drug addiction, prostitution, and long term imprisonment, and then the story of how God is using her mightily to win tens of thousands of people to Jesus in the prison system and abroad is a perfect backdrop for the truth of First John 4:17.  We are not who we used to be, but through the power of God, we become like Jesus in the world, carrying on His mission of loving the unlovely, providing for the poor, preaching the gospel, and making disciples.  This is not only a wonderful story of redemption, but it's an amazing testimony to God's transformative power.
