--The Reason For Our Boldness- / SALVATION! --(Philippians 1:19-20 / Please Read) --Even though Christians are familiar with the Gospel, many are reluctant to share their faith with others because they don’t feel capable of explaining it. When we lack confidence in our knowledge of salvation through Jesus Christ, fear of negative reactions or possible questions can keep us silent. What if we don’t have the answers or end up looking like a fool? It’s just too intimidating.But remember, God has given us the most important message in the world. Since we’re confronted by so many unscriptural philosophies and religious deceptions, we need to understand the gospel and be able to present it with confidence and boldness. We can’t let fear or ignorance keep us from giving lost people the only message that can change a person’s eternal destiny. Jesus instructed us, His disciples, to "Go and tell what you have both heard and seen." The apostle Paul welcomed every opportunity to tell people about Christ, because he focused on the gospel’s life-changing power. If we look at the hurting people around us, express a genuine interest in them, and ask God to open a door for us to share our faith with them, He will answer that prayer. The Holy Spirit is the One who opens the hearts to receive, repent, and accept Christ as their Savior. We are to be His vessels of honor. We tend to be motivated by temporal activities that eventually fade away. But souls are forever, and people need to know the Savior. Look for opportunities to reach out to those around you—notice their expressions; ask how they’re doing. When their need stirs your heart, you’ll be eager to offer them the Gospel.--IN TOUCH~["Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 10:32-33)"~~"He who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming quickly."Amen~ "Even so, Come Lord Jesus! The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen~" (Revelation 22:20-21~~]< https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-UEb2mQ_c4>
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
