Faith of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego

Passage from our youth service. Read the Passage

When we are conflicts due to our faith in God, what do we do? Do we compromise with God? Ask God to understand whatever our reasons? The faith of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego is really amazing. The conviction they have for God is really commendable. They wouldn't bow to other gods other than God. Even if they were thrown to the blazing furnace, they believed that God would save them and protect them. Because they have an extreme faith on God, they believed that God would never leave them. It was a risk that they made. It was a life and death situation for them, but they stand firm on their faith. And they said that even if God didn't save them, they would not bow down to other gods. And God honored their faith. God did save them from the blazing furnace. The bible said, "They saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed; their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on them." Their amazing conviction towards God led other people to believe in the God that they believed in.

How about us? Does our faith lead other people to believe in the God that we believe in? In our time today, there are a lot of questions about the faith in God. And because of that, it is hard to lead other people to believe in the God. One, I guess, because following God has many rules to follow, law to abide. Seems boring to them? But, if we, Christians, manifest in our lives the faith that we have, it is not hard to lead other people to Christ. If in our lives we manifest our convictions to God, people will see and be able to believe in the Great God that we serve.
