| 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.
