Many times, it can be hard to share the gospel with others. We\u2019re worried about what others will think, how they will treat us, if they\u2019ll talk bad about us, and all sorts of other things. We know we\u2019re supposed to share the good news with others, but we just get afraid. I understand. You\u2019re not alone. I\u2019ve been there. It is definitely scary! We must make up our minds to do what God wants, no matter what. Jesus has asked us all to evangelize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even<\/em> to the end of the age. Amen.”<\/p>\nMatthew 28:19,20 NKJV<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
\n“And He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.”‘<\/p>\nMark 16:15 NKJV<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
In order to do that, we must make sacrifices. Jesus never said being a Christian would be easy. In fact, He said it would be difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n“Because narrow is<\/em> the gate and difficult is<\/em> the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”<\/p>\nMatthew 7:14 NKJV<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Isn\u2019t it all worth it though? I mean, He gave His own life for us! That alone is enough for us to be willing to tell others about Him, not to mention all the other blessings that He gives us each and every day. What are some of the sacrifices you might have to make?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Watch your favorite movie<\/td> Or you could…<\/td> Watch\/listen to a Bible series on how to defend the faith<\/td><\/tr> Get a manicure after work<\/td> Or you could…<\/td> Sit down with a co-worker and study the Bible<\/td><\/tr> Go shopping on your day off<\/td> Or you could…<\/td> Take Bibles, tracts, etc. to people in your community<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Now, I\u2019m not saying that any of the things on the left column are bad. It\u2019s totally ok to do those things! Just maybe sometimes, we need to cut those things out and add some evangelism instead. One of the greatest forms of love that you could ever show someone, is telling them about the Truth. If they respond negatively, it\u2019s ok. You\u2019ve planted the seed. If they reject it now, it\u2019s not your fault. All you can do is do your best to present the Truth and pray for God to give the increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n“I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.”<\/p>\n1 Corinthians 3:6 NKJV<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
People may not like you, but in the end, it\u2019ll all be worth it. So, are you truly willing to sacrifice whatever it takes to do the will of God? Can you say with honesty, \u201cHere am I! Send me.\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n“Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: ‘Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?’ Then I said, ‘Here am<\/em> I! Send me.”‘<\/p>\nIsaiah 6:8 NKJV<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
