8 - May-June 2013 work .
Break big ideas down , and go step-by-step . Not every ‘ Gospel seed ’ you plant will grow right away . Not every person will be willing or ready to hear about Christ . Once they know that God loves them , you can explain to them that God sent Jesus , his son , to save us from sin . It ’ s all about how Christ came to crush sin in order to save us .” Expect questions and check for confusion . Invite your friend to talk again later , and maybe introduce them to your pastor or youth leader who can also explain things . It may take hours , months , or years … but we can rely on God as we share His awesome love with others !
God , knowing full well whether a person will accept or reject his love , offers people the choice . We are called to take the gospel to everyone , even to those we don ’ t think will accept it . This truth is both sobering and encouraging ; knowing that some will not receive it should break our heart in pieces . God will place the choice before them , and He wants you to be part of His plan . When we follow God ’ s plan , we get to know
Him better and better .
Salvation takes a moment to receive and a lifetime to understand , and becoming a Christian doesn ’ t make somebody perfect . Christians or not , all people make mistakes . If we were perfect , we wouldn ’ t need Jesus .
The gospel is a message of hope . It ’ s a message of hope because of the change that Jesus can bring into your heart and life . Only Jesus offers such hope .
The gospel is a message the world desperately needs . If it truly a message of love , then how can we conceal it ? Love always acts in the best interest of others . If you ask him , God will provide opportunities for you to spread the Gospel .
Jesus commanded His disciples to spread the Gospel , and if you are Jesus ’ follower then that command applies to you to .
Mark 12:30 : Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength
Galatians 5:14 : For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command : “ Love your neighbor as
