Why I Share The Gospel

And why we all should

Why I Share The Gospel
Amanda Jayne Sankey

The other day, someone assumed I was a liberal, and I told them that I wasn’t. They found it hard to believe me, because why wouldn’t I be? They thought they could change my mind within a few minutes of time, and told me they intended to do so.

But what they don’t understand is that my opinions won’t change within a few minutes of convincing, or a few years. My opinions are rooted in my faith.

My faith is rooted in Christ.

Through their trying to convince me, I found out several things about this person that my heart just broke for. I vowed that I would keep talking to this person until either I die or they are saved.

This is why I share the Gospel.

This person told me that I was different from the other people. I had been talking to them for five minutes. I had yet to even bring up my faith, and they could tell a difference in me. We are called to be different. We are called to stand out and be seen as different from the rest of the world.

It is very important to share the Gospel to everyone you meet. I believe you can do this through your actions and who you are as a person. If you have Christ in you, you should be intentional in showing Christ through you.

It is also very important to physically share the Gospel to as many people as you can.

The Gospel is the story of Jesus Christ. It is telling the story of God’s love. It is who He is.

All it takes is one person to plant the seed in someone. A kind act can do that. Speaking of God can water that seed. Praying can grow that seed.

Pray, pray, pray.

Pray for the people you are trying to reach. Pray for the people that have yet to be reached. Pray that the Gospel would reach their ears. Pray that their hearts would be softened to hear. Pray that they would come to acceptance.

You can love, you can go tell it on the mountain, you can do everything in your power, but only God can save.

It breaks my heart knowing that there are people that haven’t been saved. There are people walking around dead in sin.

This is why I share the Gospel.

The feeling of God’s love can’t be put into words. It can’t be expressed. It can only be felt. And we shouldn’t close our mouths until everyone in this world knows that feeling. Until everyone in this world has accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

I share the Gospel because I want everyone to know Jesus and what He has done for us. I want everyone to know Him and His love. But I also share the Gospel because that is what I am called to do. That is what we are all called to do.

Mark 16:15 “And He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.’”

Mathew 28: 19-20 “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

This is why I share the Gospel.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
