“Eye has not seen, not ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him” (1 Cor 2:9; NKJV). Well, I am sure we would all say we love God and desire to be all God wants us to be and do all He has for us to do, yes? The apostle Paul exhorted us to “set your minds on things above, not on things on the earth “(Col 3:2; NKJV). In other words, in our lives, let’s have a heavenly perspective as to how we use our time and energy. I am always amazed and encouraged when I read how Jesus said we would not only do the things He did but even greater things (John 14:12). God has created each one of us for the good works He has prepared for us (Eph 2:10). What could be greater or more fulfilling than to be His ambassadors or witnesses (2 Cor 5:18-21), sharing our Christian life experiences with others. We are called to let our light shine to people around us (Matt 5:16) and share the gospel of Jesus with them (Mark 16:15).
The gospel in simplest terms is the account of Jesus, His life on this earth, how He died on a cross to win forgiveness for us all (1 Cor 15:3; Eph 1:7), rose from the dead and ascended back into heaven. If people believe in Him, (1 John 1:9), make up their mind to turn away from sin (Acts 2:38) ask His forgiveness and give Him control of their life they will be saved or made new (Rom 10:9-10) and can enter into an amazing relationship with Jesus! (1 John 3:1).
God gives us the power to witness (Acts 1:8) and the words to use (Luke 21:15). Let’s do it! The results are truly heartwarming.
