We are to be unashamed in sharing the Gospel of Christ! Chris Brannon continues in our 2 Timothy series with 2 Timothy 1:8-14. The Gospel is not preaching religion or preaching church. The Gospel is the word of God, written down for us to share with one another what God has done to reconcile us to himself! How do we share the testimony of Jesus Christ? Chris gives us three different aspects of sharing the Gospel: 1. Use your life…you don’t have to say a word, just show them Jesus. 2. Use your personal story…your testimony can be a very powerful tool! 3. Use scripture…this is the most direct way to share the Gospel to others. Romans 3:23-24 is one of the most important verses that you can memorize and share with others! Write it down everywhere and get it memorized!!
Now that we know how to share the Gospel, Chris gives us four truths that empower us to be unashamed in preaching it: 1. Remember that God has saved and called us. 2. Remember that you weren’t awesome to begin with. 3. Remember that death is dead. 4. Remember that you are guarded by a big God!! The bigger we make God, the smaller we make ourselves and the more confidence we will have in boldly doing what God commands us to do. The bigger we are, the smaller God gets and the less confidence we will have to walk in obedience. Who will you share the Gospel with today?
