GODS STORY IS THE BEST STORY

“Now more alive than ever!”

The only way you find life is by grasping Jesus. Why it’s in confessing “…with your heart that Jesus is Lord and [believing] in your heart that God raised him from the dead” Paul clarifies – “[that you grasp life, that] you will be saved…” (Romans 10:9).

And so let’s deliver the signature truth that delivers life. For how can persons “…believe in [truth, in Jesus, if] they have not heard. And how can they truly hear without someone preaching to them [sharing with them; or in keeping with our series theme: evangelizing them]…” (Romans 10:14).

Share Vulnerably, Radiating Good News.

“How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news…” (Romans 10:15) “who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say…your God reigns…” (Isaiah 52:7).

Unapologetically Center On Jesus And His ‘One Of A Kind,’ Reconciling Work.

For “…God was reconciling the world to himself in [Jesus]…and…has [now] committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore God’s ambassadors… [imploring everyone]… be reconciled to God [through Jesus]…” (2 Corinthians 5:18; 20).

There’s only one Gospel: God is in Jesus -- reconciling all things, through His death and resurrection -- making all things new.

“The Christian faith stands in contrast to [all other world religions]. It is not… a call to be religious, nor… an announcement of ethical principles, but…rather the [very] self-disclosure of God, in Christ -- inviting us to [reconcile with Him, to commune] with Him” -- through Jesus.

Envision Yourself On A Rescue Mission, Saving Life, “Saving Souls.”

“If anyone [wants to] come after me he must deny [self]… for whoever [seeks] to save [self] will lose it, but whoever loses [self] for me will find it.” And so “what good [is it]…” Jesus concludes, “… [if you gain]… the whole world -- yet forfeit [your true self, your] soul?” Matthew 16:24-26.

I’ve come, I live to “…seek and…save [the] lost…” (Luke 19:10)

But Paul is right: how will persons know such truth, if “…they have not heard. And how can they…hear without someone preaching to them [sharing with them; evangelizing them]…” (Romans 10:14).
