7 MAR 23 Tuesday: A Closer Walk Devotional
“For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work saving everyone who believes-the Jew first and also the Gentile. This Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight.” Romans 1:16-17
Many Christians are not sharing their faith with others who stand condemned to hell. If you were to poll a church and ask by a raise of hands, how many have shared their faith in the last six months, there would be a small handful. If you asked them how many are making disciples, you might get two. That could be a church of 50 or 2000. Why?
Many would say, I don’t “know” enough. If you have been in church for a few years, you are likely to have more education than many missionaries overseas. The woman at the well knew Jesus for an hour and shared immediately. Many say, they don’t know anyone that is not saved. All their friends are from church and have insulated themselves from the world. Others say they are afraid of rejection or offending people, so they don’t share. Lastly, people straight out say, they will not do it.
All of these are excuses and reveal to God our disobedience and lack of love for him and others. It also reveals our shame of God and the Gospel. If this is you, you need to ask yourself if you are really saved? Are you derelict in your duty to God? Either way, repent and believe in the Gospel of Christ and give it to others.
Are you ashamed of the Gospel of Christ?
