A Passion to Share the Gospel August 20

Think about this … What marketing methods are least likely to persuade you? Paul talks about persuading people in today’s passage. He will tell us why he is motivated God calls us to share the gospel.

Listen for a fear. 2 Corinthians 5:9-11 (NIV) So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things

Listen for a fear. done while in the body, whether good or bad. 11 Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience.

Accountable Before the Lord What should be the believer’s goal? What future realities motivated Paul to please the Lord in all he said and did? What does Paul’s phrase “fear of the Lord” tell you about Paul’s and Timothy’s relationship with God? So what does Paul say was his motivation to try to persuade others to follow Christ?

Accountable Before the Lord What is good about fearing God? How does fear of God get misapplied or misunderstood? How should the knowledge that we are accountable to the Lord affect our attitude toward witnessing and other spiritual ministries?

Listen for what else compelled Paul. 2 Corinthians 5:14-17 (NIV) For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

Listen for what else compelled Paul. 16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

Loved by Christ According to Paul, what motivated the way he lived life, his attitude toward Christ, and the way he viewed others? How do Christians sometimes have the wrong motivation in ministries that give them attention and popularity?

Loved by Christ How does love motivate us? Why did Christ die for everyone? What elements of the gospel message are found in these verses? How is it possible for us to be motivated both by the fear of the Lord and Christ’s love?

Listen for a ministry. 2 Corinthians 5:18-21 (NIV) All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.

Listen for a ministry. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Commissioned as an Ambassador What did God do through Christ? To what office have we been commissioned on behalf of Christ? What does it mean to be an ambassador for Christ?

Commissioned as an Ambassador Someone has said that believers are the only “Jesus” that some will ever see. What kinds of things in the life of a believer would keep others from seeing Jesus in their lives? What kinds of things do we need to have changed in our lives so that Jesus can be seen more clearly, so that we will be more effective ambassadors?

Application Begin with prayer. When you wake up in the morning, instead of picking up your cell phone, get on your knees and ask God to work through you. Here I am Lord; please use me to be a blessing to others today. Help me to be Your ambassador today

Application Learn to share. At its simplest, witnessing is telling what Jesus has done for you. If you want to learn some tools that would help you, talk to your pastor or church leadership. Consider using the inside front cover of your Lifeway Bible Study guide as you talk to another person about Jesus.

Application Share. Ask God to grant you one opportunity this week to be a blessing to others and share the gospel with them in both words and actions.
