Topic: Why I tell others about Christ?

I was talking to a resident at work and she told me that she loved Jesus. I told her that Jesus loves her, too. Jesus is a good friend to have. Jesus is a friend who sticks closer than a brother and I have some brothers. Jesus told me through the Bible that I don't have to call him master and the Bible tells me that I can be joint heirs with him. I think one of the best things Jesus told me through the Bible is that he would never forsake me. I mean in the marriage vows it says until death do us part. But not even death stops Jesus.:smile:

this is another of those ambiguous sections , it is unclear if this direction was SPECIFICALLY to the disciples present or if it was a general direction for all followers of Christ

I happen to think it was mostly a SPECIFIC instruction but logical to use as a good example of fellowship with Christ

I dont think we are all meant to 'preach' to others, necessarily, if the point is to point others to God, because not everyone learns the same way

we can point people to God in many ways, by sharing the word, by being an example of 'christ like' living, by treating others with 'christ like' love,,,,etc,,,,

it is not every christians duty to 'preach', in my opinion,,but it is not wise to deny God before men(act ashamed or embarassed, refrain from speaking of or about him due to embarassment or fear of being outcast)

,,,just my opinion though


Interesting. I have been thinking about this a lot lately and I tend to agree with you.

"And the Spirit and the bride say, Come.

And let him that heareth say, Come.

And let him that is athirst come.

And whosoever will,

let him take the water of life freely."

Revelation 22:17



+ + +

"How then shall they call on him
in whom they have not believed?

and how shall they believe in him
of whom they have not heard?

and how shall they hear without a preacher?"

Romans 10:14

+ + +

"And God hath set some in the church,

first apostles,

secondarily prophets,

thirdly teachers,

after that miracles,

then gifts of healings,

helps,

governments,

diversities of tongues.

1Corinthians 12:28



++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

From these passages it is clear that the Gospel must continue
to be preached
for as long as the Church is on earth; until Christ's return.

And no, not everyone will preach.

Not all will teach.

There are many who have gifts that help the church
to continue, to thrive, and to grow.

God's Word even says in 1Corinthians 12:31 to "covet earnestly the best gifts".

Think of something you feel you can do to make a difference in the Spirit of love and truth
for the Body of Christ; The church.

No matter how simple it seems.
Pray about it.
Ask the Lord to Bless your efforts.

Well done, good and faithful servants!
