Four Ways to Share Your FaithSample

ACTS OF LOVE

As Christians, the mandate given to the Church in Matthew 28:18-20, to share our faith can be daunting. For some, there is the issue of fear, insecurity, or insufficiency. Others may have a reluctance to experience different cultures or travel to unfamiliar places. We must understand it is not necessary to travel to foreign lands to be a powerful and effective witness for Christ. We can share our faith from where we are, with the people we encounter daily.

Jesus said, we are recognized as His disciples by our love. “A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.  By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another (John 13:34-35 KJV).” Jesus was talking about the highest form of love – Agape, love in action. He is speaking of the kind of love the Father has for the world. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16).”

In this dark and sinful world, people are looking for light and love that can only be found through Jesus.. They are searching for Agape, God’s undying, unconditional, and universal love. For many, the only opportunity they will have to experience the love of God is through our reflection of Him. The light and life of the Lord Jesus Christ, when manifested in us, will be a living testimony of His saving grace and transforming power.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, please transform me that the light and love of Jesus would flow through me into the life of others. Amen.
