Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be
saved. Acts chapter 16 verse 31.
New King James Version.
I love the reading today in Daily in His Presence by
David Jeremiah and it bears reading over a couple of times. When you do that:
please, read over again paragraph two and three.
The simple, plain truth. Everyone will understand
the gospel when it is put in one-syllable words.
“God made man and loved him.
Man sinned and fell from God’s grace.
But God, in His great love, sent His son to die in
our place, and then raised Him from the dead.
Now if we put our faith in Him, He will cleanse our
sins and give us life”. I am using the quote from paragraph two.
Wow, that is pretty simple I would say. A child
could understand this, as did the child stated in David’s message; to keep it
simple so he could understand.
Perhaps I can relate to this so easily because I
like simple and straightforward. It takes the guesswork out of things. The less
complicated, the better, I say.
When anyone of us who have a relationship with
Christ, want to share with someone who does not know Christ, we need to tell
them the simple truth as stated above and then, when they accept Christ they
will want to learn all about Him.
It’s like when you want to introduce your friend to
another friend, you might only say that person’s name and one other interesting
fact about that person. Then you introduce both parties and they can get to
know one another, over several visits. You get them interested in each other
and they take it from there.
When we introduce Jesus, we tell a few facts about
Him and the person then wants to know more so we give them the account of His
life as written in the Bible. If you go to the book of Matthew in the New
Testament you can read there in the gospel of Matthew, the genealogy and birth
of Jesus Christ through to His resurrection and appearances He made to His disciples
after His death and resurrection. This is all found in chapter 1 through to the
end of chapter 28. Also the gospels of Mark, Luke, and John are interesting
reading as they also speak about Jesus.
The more time you spend with someone the better get
you get to know them, trust them, confide in them, understand them. It’s the
same with Jesus, study the Bible and you will be amazed at how quickly you will
fall in love with this man who came to be our Saviour and Redeemer.
God wants you to understand who Jesus is, why He
came to live among humanity so many years ago, and the gift of salvation only
He could give to everyone who accepts Him, believing, He died to pay our sin
debt and to free us from that load of sin.
The simple truth;
Jesus came, He lived, He died, gave up His life on
the cross, to cover our sin, He rose again from the dead, and ascended to
heaven to be with His father, where He intercedes on our behalf. His death
bought us life, life eternal with Him, when we accept Him as Lord and Savior.
Simple and true!! The message is made understandable
to everyone, and every person in the whole world over should hear the message
of how He forgives us our sin and offers us life eternal with Him. Everyone
should have the opportunity to accept Him as Lord and Saviour.
Let’s spread the simple true gospel to all those we
meet and give all glory to our Lord, every day. We will then be carrying out
the great commission as we are asked to do in the word. Matthew Chapter 28
Verses 19 and 2O in the Good News Bible has this important instruction,
(19) Go,
then, to all peoples everywhere and make them my disciples: baptize them in the
name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, (20) and teach them to obey
everything I have commanded you. And I will be with you always, to the end of
the age.
Enjoy every day knowing the simple truth of the
gospel and sharing it with others. May God richly bless you in all you do as
you bring glory to Him.
Please continue to stay connected with us on our website.
We appreciate you taking time to join us in the word and sharing the love of
Christ.
Have a wonderful glory filled day.
