Sharing the Gospel
2 Timothy 1:8 (NLT) “So never be ashamed to tell others about our Lord.”
In this time and culture, we live in an age where speaking the name of Jesus Christ causes discomfort and anger among non-believers. Discomfort to the point where people want to get up and leave, or anger to the point where people begin shouting at you and accusing you of judging them. There are examples of people going to the extreme of canceling those who are believers and followers of Jesus Christ. What I mean by canceling is essentially to be treated as if you don’t exist. Sadly, there are many people who have based their lives around the opinions of others. Especially in the Social Media domain. They can’t go for 10 minutes without looking at their social media to see what others have said about them. So in lieu of telling another person about Jesus Christ and the Good News about Salvation, they would rather say nothing to keep the friendship or keep peace within the conversation.
Here is something to remember: whenever you share the Gospel with someone, it is a spiritual event. Jesus told His disciples to go preach the gospel (good news) to the world, not the angels. So spreading the gospel to others is our responsibility. There is power when you share your testimony and the good news of what Jesus did regarding sin. Sharing the gospel is the only way salvation is given to people who believe.
Romans 1:16 (NKJV) “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes.”
You know, it is very easy to talk to other Christians while you’re in church about Jesus. But talking to a non-believer is the challenge. Most of the time, people are afraid of how others will react. Listen, you can’t control another person’s reaction. They are human. Jesus said clearly that you will be hated because of me. So that means people will either accept or reject Jesus.
In everything you do, do it in love. We share the gospel of Jesus Christ because we love people. You are not here to judge people. The Holy Spirit does the conviction after you tell them the truth. And the truth comes from the Word of God (The Bible). When others hear the truth and accept it, it will set them free. God will give you the boldness and the words to say when you are sharing the Gospel.
Be Blessed!
