Spreading the Word.

The message that I received in Sunday school, and the sermon that was given in church, were about evangelism. This to me is reassurance from God that I am headed in the right direction. Though a week is not a long time, I have used it to grow in my faith, and realize that through God I have the ability to spread his word. Scripture says, "For he has rescued us from the domination of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of our sins." Colossians 1:13-14. This is a gift that was given to us. We are promised an eternal life in heaven with Jesus. We already know where we are going, and it is now our job to help others. Everyone deserves a chance to at least hear the word of God and be given the chance to find God. If we don't do our part and share the word, how will anyone else get to God? We do not need to worry about our sins because they are forgiven. Just because we share the word, does not give us any less of a sinful nature than the person receiving the message. Everyday we are faced with good opportunity to praise God and let his name be heard. I am not saying that we should take the bible and throw it at people, but when someone notices that you are different and they wonder why, explain to them of the glory of God. Some may listen and other will be skeptical of you, but someday they could look back and remember what you told them and maybe then they will find God. Your job is not to total how many lives you save by turning them to Christ, but to simply share the message that has saved your life and promised you an eternity of happiness in heaven. The first thing to do always is pray, and then, just go where you feel the Lord is leading.
