Evangelism: Sharing the Good News
When we have a wonderful experience, we cannot help but tell others about it. Many times we are so exuberant, we cannot stop talking because we want to share our joy with others. We want to give others even a small part of the same experience we have had--whether it is good news of a new job, a surprising act of kindness by a stranger or friend, or an encounter that has renewed our awe with nature.
We as Christians have the best, most wonderful news to share with the world: that we have been saved through Christ Jesus, who offers us salvation in His life and sacrifice of love. Though we may be sinners and may turn away from God, Christ comes to us first and calls us to return to Him. He makes each of us a new creation in His love and gives us the gift of eternal life.
Evangelism is simply sharing the good news of Christ's salvation and love for us. When we truly and deeply receive our salvation and become new creations in the Lord, the joy of His love and grace fills our hearts more than anything we can experience in this world. We cannot contain ourselves from testifying to God's amazing work in our lives and in this world.
We must first seek to know God and truly open our hearts to Him. Seek to be filled with His grace, love and Spirit; seek to be filled with His Word, because God will truly fill us up until we are overflowing. Let us truly become new creations in Christ and testify to the world the most wonderful news of God our Father, Jesus Christ our Saviour, and His Kingdom of heaven.
