Don't Believe the Lie

John Piper said, "The Gospel is the Good News that the everlasting and ever-increasing joy of the never-boring, ever-satisfying Christ is ours freely and eternally by faith in the sin-forgiving death and hope-giving resurrection of Jesus Christ."

So why is it that nowadays there are many churches who act like this Good News isn’t that important to share? Well, many Christians have bought into the lie from the enemy that sharing will lead to angry confrontation. So we then neglect to share the very Good News that has changed our lives. We convince ourselves that no one wants to hear it. Well, let me encourage you with this today: I’ve shared the Gospel worldwide to people of all different backgrounds, cultures, and ages.

And very rarely have I had anyone react with anger. More often than not, the person I share with thanks me for taking the time to share.

Forgotten Good News

Do you ever have times when you walk out the door, and you realized you’ve forgotten your keys?

Or have you gone on vacation only to realize after you've left that you forgot your toothbrush? Now, these are somewhat silly things to forget. But in the Bible, there were often times when prophets, apostles, and disciples had to remind the people of what God said in His Word because humans can be...well...forgetful! Our attention gets taken by so many things, and we forget the important truths that we have already been told. And the truth is that the church has internationally forgotten something important:

We have forgotten that the Gospel is, in fact, GOOD NEWS! It's the love of God shown through what Jesus did on the cross for our sins. And the whole Bible shares of the Father’s deep love for humanity as well as His desire that all would hear the Gospel.

Fruitful Witnesses

It’s a fact—most people who love Jesus and embrace the Bible as God’s Holy Word never share the Gospel. I was in that same situation. I never thought anyone would listen to me, but God granted me the opportunity to see that spiritual light turn on in others’ lives as they made professions of faith in Jesus.

All it took was some tools and training that helped me share. And it’s not just me but millions of others also. One Vietnamese couple comes to mind. They’re from Canada. They attended Sunday services and Bible studies for years.

They are very involved in their church. But they didn’t know how to share their faith. After they gathered a few resources and some training to get started, it changed their lives. Other Christian friends saw this dramatic change too. Now they are faithfully, fruitfully witnessing.

Gentleness & Faithfulness

Have you checked off your Christian to do list today?

Barna Research did a study that shares that most churchgoers equate spiritual maturity with following a list of rules. But that's not what the Bible says at all! Instead, Jesus tells us to abide in Him to produce spiritual fruit. Spiritual maturity isn't measured by checking all the boxes—it's measured by the Fruit of the Spirit. And the Fruit of the Spirit is produced by the Lord working in us as we abide in Him! Lamentations three says that because of the Lord's great love we're not consumed - His mercy is new every morning, and great is His faithfulness!

The Lord is so gentle with us and faithful to us. So, instead of focusing on what you think will make you look like a better Christian, focus on the power of the Holy Spirit, and spread the Gospel gently and faithfully to everyone you can.

Patience, Kindness, Goodness

Isn't God good? All the time! All the time, God is good.

We also know that He is kind...and He is patient. Just ask Bill! Bill had been praying for decades for his sister-in-law to come to saving faith in Jesus. He patiently prayed for her heart to be softened, and she finally accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior. Talk about a celebration! You see, the Fruit of the Spirit includes patience, kindness, and goodness. This story shows us God's kindness and goodness, and His patient pursuit of our hearts! The Lord gave Bill patience to pray for his sister-in-law and the words to speak the Gospel to her. Romans two four (2:4) says it's the kindness of the Lord that brings us to repentance.

How can you be an example of patience, kindness, and goodness? Look to the Lord and His Word, and He will produce the Fruit of His Spirit in you.
