God wanted to share His love. He demonstrated His love to us humans through the man Jesus Christ. His existence, His ministry, His death – was all to say – “I’ll do anything for you”. Jesus Christ was how we could understand the insaneness of God’s love. Without the demonstration on the cross, God’s love might seem like a fairy tale or legend to us.
Just as Charmaine has shown us how seemingly nonsensical icons can spell out a meaningful statement, we must bring the gospel – irrelevant at first to some, but meant for all, to everyone we meet.
Faith is an outcome of our love for God.
Works is an outcome of our love for His people.
What do we do to demonstrate our love for others, as God as loved us?
Simply put, we must be evangelists, bringing the good news and demonstrating it by caring and praying for them.
A few of us: Lai Leng, Jia Hua, Yung Ling, Jia Tee & Jia Yein attended Release Conference – an evangelism conference by Tony Anthony on the 21st March. Their testimonies ring in unison – it was a revelation; a liberation of our occupation as evangelists. Evangelism is as simple as leaving a tract for a stranger, or spending a few minutes explaining the gospel to our friends. Recently I had a chance of sharing my faith, and to my surprise, people are more curious and eager to know than I imagined. After a long time not sharing the gospel, I was taken aback by my own words – as if I was hearing the gospel for the first time again.Let not our insecurities and fears take over our love. Imagine if you have not heard the gospel! Wouldn’t you want to hear it? Pastor Cally related to us how a friend wept when he heard the Gospel for the first time, realizing that he was waiting for that good news all his life.
Let’s ask God, to give us an open door to share, not out of duty, but out of love. If you have forgotten the message of the Gospel, ask God to tell you the good news again, and spread the word!
