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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
