Telling the Good News

When we look at all the things that are going on in our world today we may feel anxious and troubled.  There are a lot of bad things happening in our world these days and we should be concerned.  The world is going down hill fast.  People are doing what is right in their on eyes or doing what "feels" good to them.

The world is lost and has distanced itself from the only One that can save them and that is God through Jesus Christ.  Jesus came to save us sinners.  We have all sinned and we have all fallen short of God's standards.  God is Holy and nothing unholy can come into His presence.

The Lord, who is rich in mercy, made a way for each of us to be made right with Him.  He did this by sending His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, into this world.  Jesus lived a perfect and sinless life.  He kept God's law perfectly and He died on the Cross for our sins.  He shed His blood and took the punishment that you and I deserve.

We are all deserving of being placed in a literal hell for all eternity for of sins.  We must repent of our sins.  That means we need to realize that we have sinned against God and can't save ourselves and we need to change direction.  We need to confess to the Lord our need for His forgiveness and then receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior by placing our faith in Him.

Jesus rose from the dead on the third day.  He conquered the grave to show us that He is indeed the Savior of the world.  Not everyone will be saved because not everyone will come to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.  Those who reject Christ and His free gift of salvation will go to hell because they refused to receive forgiveness of their sins.  They will have to bear the punishment for their sins on their own.

We all have family, friends, co-workers, and loved ones that do not know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and they are heading for eternal separation in a literal hell.  If we don't tell them the good news of Jesus Christ and that He is the only Way into Heaven, who will?  Jesus loves each one of us and He wants everybody to come to Him and find forgiveness and eternal life.

I pray that we believers in Jesus Christ will become bolder through the power of the Holy Spirit to tell those we come into contact with everyday the good news of Jesus Christ.  Let's not keep this good news to ourselves.  Let's tell someone about Jesus.

Lord,
There is so much bad news in the world these days.
We thank You Lord that You give us the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Help us to tell someone about Jesus today.
Empower us with boldness through the Holy Spirit to tell someone the Good News.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
