[featured_image] Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. That was His mission on earth!
Since He lives within believers, believers can simply ask Him to give the courage to share His hope with others.
“It is the Holy Spirit, not we, who converts an individual. We, the privileged ambassadors of Jesus Christ, can communicate a verbal message; we can demonstrate through our personality and life what the grace of Jesus Christ can accomplish .But let us never naively think that we have converted a soul and brought him to Jesus Christ .No one calls Jesus Lord except by the Holy Spirit.”
– Paul Little, How to Give Away Your Faith
Christians do not have the power within themselves to convince anyone of spiritual truth. The Holy Spirit convicts non-Christians of their need to surrender to Christ (John 16:8). It is every Christian’s responsibility to tell others the Good News of Christ’s death and resurrection – but it’s not their job to save anyone. That’s why Christ came!
What should you always be ready to do? (1 Peter 3:15)
Sharing your “grace story” should become a way of life. When you wake up each morning, thank the Lord that He lives in you and ask Him to use your lips to speak of His love and forgiveness. As you pray for those with whom you desire to share your story, be sure to ask God to honor the proclamation of His Word, to convince people of their need, and to strengthen you as you share the gospel.
