Confidence in the Commission
In Romans 10, right after Paul says if you believe and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, you will be saved, he writes the following words, coming back to the importance of telling others about the gift we now have in Jesus.
How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” (vv. 14–15)
While some will outright reject the message, many simply have never heard the Good News. Someone needs to tell them. Why not you?
Becoming a Gospeler, or teller of the Gospel, is for all of us who claim to follow Christ. When we are confident in who we are and Whose we are, the Good News will flow out of us often and with ease. When we are prepared, sharing about Jesus becomes much easier. When we realize that real-life change could be just a conversation away for someone, we will:
- look for those opportunities
- make those opportunities
- seek them out so that Jesus can save them.
Your job is to tell the story, to throw the seeds of the Gospel. God will do the rest. Don’t take it personally if someone dismisses or outright rejects you. In Luke 10:16, Jesus even said that if they rejected Him, they’re going to reject you, also. But that makes those moments when people accept the Gospel that much more powerful.
One of my favorite conversations in the New Testament is Acts 8:26–40. Philip was a known Gospeler who was traveling around seeking out opportunities to share the Good News of Jesus. Stop and take a moment to read this interaction between Philip and an Ethiopian eunuch.
Notice the confidence Philip had as he shared even though this was a very unique situation with a stranger. He got the message to a person he had never met, from a different country, and was part of that man finding a whole new way to live through an understanding of Jesus Christ.
A few years ago, I did a little research on Ethiopia. Today, the largest religion there is Christianity, where 63 percent of the 113 million people claim to be believers in Jesus Christ. Doing the math, that is a giant group!
This story in the book of Acts may very well be where it all started for this whole country—by Philip, sent out to share the Gospel. He was led to a guy he had never met who didn’t know what he was reading. Philip answered his questions, which changed his life forever and changed the history of millions of others in his home country, as is evidenced today.
Know Jesus and have your relationship with Him.
Fall in love with the Word of God.
Ask bold questions about faith in your conversations with others.
Be a person who is led by Jesus and known for spreading the Good News publicly, privately, and personally.
Be a Gospeler.
Respond
- Describe a conversation you had with someone concerning their relationship with Christ. What happened?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, may I constantly seek opportunities to share the love and salvation offered by Jesus Christ.
