WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO SHARE THE GOSPEL AS A CHRISTIAN !

Since the very beginning of time and creation, it is clear that God brought man from the very dirt ot the ground to take human form and be in Relationship with Him ! God had given man dominion and power over all the earth and dominion Over the creatures that inhabited it. In an existence where completeness and righteousness would thrive, things were abruptly overturned as SIN entered into the world through the actions of Satan, as he tricked Eve into eating the forbidden fruit, and took advantage of the Weakness of Adam to comply and engage in action that he knew was wrong. SIN, Born from the actions of Adam ENTERED INTO THE WORLD…..and with it, DEATH. Indeed SIN has been with us from the very beginning, traveling through the lineage of Mankind and constantly seeking to separate us from God Himself. ADAM was in such an incredible place and existence before SIN came in and CHANGED EVERYTHING. The most recognizable thing about SIN is the absolute DEATH AND DESTRUCTION that it brings. In our daily lives we see it in a multitude of ways. Unhappiness. Addiction. Jealousy and Envy. Unfaithfulness. Confusion. Lies and Manipulation. The list is Endless. SIN brings with it innate Evil and Hatred. Division and Strife. We are SEEING THE STENCH OF SIN ALL AROUND US TODAY, and it is devastating. The World Is Truly Broken….and yet, there is Another Side To This Story ! HIS NAME IS JESUS:) HE CAME TO DEFEAT SIN AND GIVE US A NEW LIFE AND HOPE. Jesus came to RESTORE OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FATHER. Jesus came with ALL LOVE AND GRACE to reconnect Mankind back into the Righteousness and Completeness that SIN had taken away.

FOR BY GRACE YOU HAVE BEEN SAVED THROUGH FAITH.AND THIS IS NOT YOUR OWN DOING, IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD. Ephesians 2:8

THE SALVATION OF THE RIGHTEOUS IS FROM THE LORD; HE IS THEIR STRONGHOLD IN THE TIME OF TROUBLE. Psalm 37:39

FOR SIN WILL HAVE NO DOMINION OVER YOU, SINCE YOU ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW BUT UNDER GRACE. Romans 6:14

As I move my way through God’s Word, it is a place where I am able to find the Foundation Of Truth that truly completes my life. From the Old Testament, specifically “The Torah”, which encompasses the first five books of Scripture, God shows us the journey of Creation and the History of Mankind. God presents us with His Commandments that give us the template for exactly How We Should Live And Behave. These Books are the exact BASIS that Jesus came to share with the world in His time on earth. God’s One and Only Son, showing and teaching His people exactly what the WORD TRULY SAID AND MEANT. It was a teaching that pushed way past the simplicity of Religion, and it also pointed out the ridiculous nature of mere men adding to and taking from God’s Very Own Words. Most Importantly, JESUS CAME TO CHANGE US AND GIVE US NEW LIFE ! He had a timetable and a purpose that was above all others. He brought mankind a chance to BE FREE FROM DEATH …..for He took on all of our SIN and died upon a Cross that We Might Be Saved. While Adam brought Sin and Death unto mankind, JESUS BROUGHT GRACE AND LIFE, and as a Living God, HE BRINGS US THAT GIFT AND PrOMISE RIGHT NOW TODAY. LET ME PROCLAIM WHY THIS IS SO VERY IMPORTANT FOR OUR WORLD, AND WHY AS CHRISTIANS “WE MUST PROCLAIM AND SHARE THE GOOD NEWS OF THE GOSPEL AND INTRODUCE JESUS TO EVERYONE IN OUR LIVES” ! The Gift Of Salvation and the life it brings IS FOR EVERYONE. If you truly know Jesus and Belive in the Gospel, YOU MUST SHARE IT ! So often I hear people express a belief, but then for some reason do not make an effort to tell others WHY they Believe, and HOW it has changed their life. Perhaps they do not want to offend someone by challenging their beliefs. Perhaps they feel they lack knowledge and experience to explain Jesus in a complete manner. For whatever reason, many Christians feel OK keeping the Good News to themselves ! These are ridiculous excuses and reasons. We are in a time when it is CRITICAL TO SHARE CHRIST !!! THE GOSPEL BRINGS LIFE ! WITHOUT IT, THERE IS ONLY SIN AND DEATH.

IN HIM WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD, THE FORGIVENESS OF OUR TRESPASSES, ACCORDING TO THE RICHNESS OF HIS GRACE. Ephesians 1:7

IT IS A TRUSTWORTHY STATEMENT, DESERVING FULL ACCEPTANCE, THAT CHRIST JESUS CAME INTO THE WORLD TO SAVE SINNERS, AMONG WHOM I AM FOREMOST OF ALL. YET FOR THIS REASON I FOUND MERCY, SO THAT IN ME AS THE FOREMOST, JESUS CHRIST MIGHT DEMONSTRATE HIS PERFECT PATIENCE AS AN EXAMPLE FOR THOSE WHO WOULD BELIEVE IN HIM FOR ETERNAL LIFE. 1 Timothy 1:15-16

BUT I DO NOT CONSIDER MY LIFE OF ANY ACCOUNT AS DEAR TO MYSELF, SO THAT I MAY FINISH MY COURSE AND THE MINISTRY WHICH I RECEIVED FROM THE LORD JESUS TO TESTIFY SOLEMNLY OF THE GOSPEL OF THE GRACE OF GOD. Acts 20:24

Jesus made it clear to all who would follow Him, that their task was to take HIS WORDS AND HIS LOVE to the world….not to simply believe and keep it too oneself. His disciples went forth after He had ascended to the right hand of the Father and took His Salvation and Lordship to the known world of their time. PROCLAIMING HIM. SHARING HIM. SHARING THE GIFT OF THE GOSPEL :) AS HIS FOLLOWERS, WE MUST DO THE SAME ! We need to bring the message of ETERNAL LIFE to Everyone. WE must show others how to find Hope and Peace and Rest in Jesus. The Apostle Paul does an incredible job of laying it all out in his letter to the Romans. Start there, and Get Busy Sharing….the time is NOW :). BE BOLD IN CHRIST/JAA

FOR THE GRACE OF GOD HAS APPEARED, BRINGING SALVATION TO ALL MEN. Titus 2:11
