Grace for your spirit. March 14, 2012

Grace for your spirit
So for my part, I am eager to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to everyone who believes... Romans 1:15-16

When Jesus left us with His Great Commission, all disciples became His evangelists. An evangelist is literally someone who proclaims the good news. The free gift of eternal life in Christ Jesus is truly good news. In order for the good news to be effective it must be proclaimed. It is unlikely that we will proclaim it unless we believe it is the power of God to salvation, believe that it is for everyone, and are eager to see the good news change the lives of people. If that gospel will be proclaimed from generation to generation, we also must protect it against the attacks of the devil, and promote it among all believers. When we truly become eager to do these things, it will evident that our church is on fire for the Lord. Paul sacrificed greatly to get this gospel to Rome. What are we willing to sacrifice where God has planted us?
