Sharing the Gospel

Does a holy fear ever rise in you? What kind of holy fear? The good kind. A reverential fear. An overwhelming acknowledgment of God’s greatness and our smallness. Utter awe at the thought of standing in God’s majestic presence. Tear-filled sorrow for those who don’t know Jesus. Trembling for those who defy God and set themselves against Him.

One day every person will give an account of their lives to God, who Genesis 14:19 describes as “…God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth.” Christ tells us that those who deny God will spend eternity apart from Him.

If we’re in a relationship of saving faith with Jesus, what are we doing to make sure others know Him? 

May holy fear cause us to think more of others than ourselves, to speak to the unsaved about Jesus and pray for them.

Heavenly Father, POSSESSOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH, how comforting to know that because of Jesus, I will live eternally in Your presence. Stir my heart to share the good news with those who don’t know You, who are walking in darkness.

Are you concerned for a family member or friend who refuses to trust Jesus for salvation? Are you worried they’ll die apart from Christ? 

If we’re concerned for the unsaved, it’s for good reason. This world isn’t all there is. There is life beyond the clouds that we can’t see just as there is life below the oceans we can’t see. Yes, all people are alive after they pass through this life—either in Christ’s presence or apart from Him for eternity.  

Jesus implores us to take the way to heaven, through Him. So, what do we do if an unsaved friend or family member refuses to turn to Christ? We align ourselves with the Lord, who we’re told in 2 Peter 3:9 is “not slow about His promise, but is patient…not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.” 

God is patient. Keep praying. Keep looking for opportunities to speak the truth in love.

Heavenly Father, thank you for being PATIENT. Help me be like you—patient and prayerful.

Jesus came to earth as a baby so He might grow into a man, but not just any man. He came from heaven as our Messiah.

Andrew heard John the Baptist announce that Jesus was the Lamb of God who had come to take away the sins of the world. Andrew followed Jesus and after spending time with Him, he told his brother, Simon Peter, “We have found the Messiah” (John 1:41).

Andrew was intentional about his search for the Messiah and after finding Him, he was intentional about telling others. In what ways can we be more intentional about sharing Christ with others? We can begin by praying for the unsaved to turn to Christ. 

What can we pray for those who do not know Christ as Messiah? Here are 8 suggestions.

1. Pray they grow tired of the things of the world.
2. Pray for their safety.
3. Pray the Holy Spirit quickens their mind to the truth.
4. Pray the glitz of the world loses its appeal.
5. Pray they hear the Word and believe.
6. Pray God opens their eyes.
7. Pray they look up to God.
8. Pray they repent and confess Jesus as Lord.

Jesus Christ, MESSIAH, You are love, forgiveness, hope, peace, and joy! Help me be as Andrew – intentional about following You and telling others about You.
