[JJ] [PREACHING LESSON 5:] NOW IS OUR OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST

 

NOW IS OUR OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST

(ROMANS 10:14) “How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?”

The hearts and minds of our countrymen are still open to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. Here are five (5) reasons why we should share the gospel of Christ "now":

1. BECAUSE GOD IS STILL OPENING THE HEARTS OF THE LOST

(ACTS 16:14) “And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.”

God had opened the heart of Lydia, causing her to listen to Paul while he was sharing the gospel of Christ with her. Just as in that day and age, God is still opening the hearts of our countrymen. Thank you, Lord, for this great opportunity.

2. BECAUSE GOD IS STILL IN THE BUSINESS OF SAVING LOST PEOPLE.

(ACTS 2:47) “...And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.”

At present, God is still in His business of saving lost people. Let’s take this great opportunity to share the gospel with as many people as we can. Praise God for our country where we have the liberty of sharing the gospel. Amen!

3. BECAUSE GOD IS STILL GIVING A VISION OF THE HARVEST OF MORE LOST PEOPLE.

(JOHN 4:35) “Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.”

In John 4:35, Christ encourages us to lift up our eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest. We are now in the harvest season; dear brethren in Christ, let's reach them through the gospel of Christ.

(PROVERBS 29:18) “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.”

4. BECAUSE GOD IS STILL GIVING HIS POWER TO HELP US BE EFFECTIVE IN WINNING THE LOST.

(ACTS 1:8) “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”

5. BECAUSE GOD STILL DESIRES FOR ALL MEN TO BE SAVED AND COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH.

(1 TIMOTHY 2:4) “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.”

Christians, listen to this: We do not believe in the "Cult Teaching" that God had already chosen some people to go to "Hell." There is no way the Bible taught that! God gave His only begotten Son, whose death was for the sins of all mankind, which explains why God desires mankind to be saved. He has never wanted anyone to perish in Hell.

(2 PETER 3:9) “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”

Now Christian, let us be ready to go and to preach the gospel of Christ to all lost people.

(ROMANS 1:14-16) “I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise. 15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”

Prayer of Acceptance

Do you want to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour? [Prayer of accepting Jesus Christ in your heart:]

“Dear God the Father, thank you for loving me despite being a sinner. Now I admit that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself through my religion and good works. I trust the Lord Jesus Christ who died on the cross of Calvary to pay for my sin. Now I open my heart to receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour of my life. Amen.”
