Unleashed—Reaching The Youth Of Your CityНамуна

Gospel Is The Only Hope

The bustling streets of our city are so filled with young men and women on the move to get things done for the day. The world is too busy. No one really wants to miss out on anything. There are works to be done, milestones to be achieved, information to be updated and demands to be satisfied in this competitive world. More the day drains, the night is awaiting to fill with fun and entertainment that is needed. This generation feels they really don’t lack anything. Academic ambitions, corporate achievements, saturating entrainment are trying hard to hide the vacuum of their heart and mute the cry of their souls. But is not the sound of their souls deafening? Is not the so called happening world making them even more lonely? In the middle of all the busyness, every young heart has a deeper longing to be satisfied. Is there a hope for us to see this generation being saved and transformed? A big YES. Gospel is the only ray of our hope in this lost world. God is determined and is actively at work through the gospel. And because God is at work we have a hope that the gospel that we proclaim will lead many into salvation. This is a liberating thought. It is not we who are labouring with the gospel to bring these dying souls to life, but it is Christ who is actively at work and we are just his co-workers. 

With this hope let’s step out and proclaim the gospel to the youth of our city. It is Christ who will work in them to begin the saving faith in them. But if they don’t hear, how will they believe? If they don’t believe in the gospel, what other hope is left? Let’s get confidence in proclaiming the gospel, since gospel is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes.
