Spread Faith (Text in description)
Luke 18:6 NIV " No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so those who come in can see the light."----------------------------------------------------- It is the spring season, and I see lots of wildflowers growing along the roadsides. I see a lot of dandelion flowers and dandelion seed heads all over yards and fields as I drive around. When I think about those seed heads, I think about how they were created to be spread by the wind in order to grow more and more flowers in neighboring areas... I think our faith should be the same way- Readily spread to our neighbors in order to grow more and more. [ Romans 10:17] " Consequently, Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ."------ If every believer just kept the " Good News" to themselves and never shared it with others; it would never have the chance to grow... I am sure that you know an un-believer at work, school, the building you live in, or social media groups. You may be the only exposure that those persons have to the word of God. And much like the dandelion; some will see you as a nuisance, while others will see the good. [ I Peter 3:15] " but in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who ask you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect."---------- No person will respond positively by being beat over the head with the Bible.. Sharing the Gospel is not about telling people what they need to do, But sharing the Gospel is about declaring what Jesus has already done. The message is clear and simple; Jesus died for our sins, He was buried in a tomb, and He rose from that tomb on the third day. { I Corinthians 15:3-4}.... Our daily lives should be the example of Godliness in us. Our words, actions, and reactions should set us apart from the crowd, and then, when someone ask why we seem to be different; we get to spread our faith like the dandelion seed in the breeze. Share your stories of how God works in your life, Share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
