Main subject
1. Our Identity
(1) I, who was wandering without the gospel (Ephesians 2:1-3)
① I was in a failure of unknown cause (the fundamental problem 0 in Genesis 3)
② I lived hard, but there was no reward and happiness in life
③ Even if there was a carnal hope, in the end it was a meaningless hope, or the future hope was nothing.
I was forced to live that day and that day
④ No matter how hard I tried, I ended up suffering from spiritual problems and had no choice but to go to hell.
(2) I am now a child of God, saved through the gospel of Christ (Ephesians 2:4-10)
① Jesus, who is God, came into the world and died on the cross for my sins.
② He fulfilled all problems on the cross and was resurrected to complete all problems of the world and of me.
③ I became a child of God by believing in and receiving Jesus by the grace of God.
④ Regardless of who I am now, I have the authority to be a child of God.
⑶ I, who was called as an evangelist to preach the gospel by God's grace (Mark 3:13-15)
① When God calls us, he does not just call us, but clearly has a purpose.
② First, be happy with the gospel, share the happiness experienced with the gospel, and live in the field.
③ Everyone who is saved is an evangelist, and everyone who is not saved is a target of evangelism.
2. As a child of God, especially, I have already been called to be an evangelist.
(1) Christ, the mystery of God, in whom all things are.
① Matthew 28:18 Jesus came and spoke and said, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
② Colossians 2:2,3 so that we may understand Christ, the mystery of God, in whom there is wisdom and knowledge.
All treasures are hidden
③ John 10:10 I have come that they may have life and have it more abundantly.
④ Psalm 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not lack.
(2) If I have accepted Jesus, who is the Christ, I have already received everything with Christ.
① The status of children of God - The status of receiving God's presence, complete guidance, and complete answers to prayers
② The authority given to the children of God - angel protection, Satan bondage, heavenly citizenship, the right to conquer the field with the word
③ You can enjoy all the answers in reality with Christ. (Matthew 6:33)
⑶ In particular, he prepared everything for the evangelist.
① Phil 4:19 My God will supply all your needs according to his riches in Christ Jesus.
② To the disciples who evangelize (Mark 16:19,20) - The disciples will go out to preach and the Lord will work together
By the signs that followed, he certainly testified of the Word.
③ To those who make disciples in the field -
Matthew 28:20 Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.
④ To Paul on mission - Acts 27:24 Do not be afraid, Paul, for you must stand before Caesar, and God has given you all those who sail with you.
⑷ When an evangelist asks for God's glorious purpose in the field of evangelism, he has given, and will give, everything. Necessary for an evangelist to live the life of an evangelist
① Spiritual power ② Intellect ③ Physical strength ④ Economic power ⑤ Manpower
All these are given to those who ask for it.
3. Now, let's have the pride of an evangelist and receive answers as dignified evangelists with the Gospel in the field
(1) There is no need to exalt oneself in the world.
The purpose of the life of an evangelist is to enjoy the gospel, share the gospel, and glorify God.
① If we live the life of an evangelist with the Gospel, God will exalt us.
Luke 14:11 Everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.
② Proverbs 4:8 Exalt him, and he will exalt you. If you embrace him, he will honor you. 9 He will put a beautiful crown on your head, and he will give you a crown of glory.
③ God is the sovereign of life and death.
(2) pride and humility
① Job 22:29 When people humble you, say you are proud, and God will save the humble.
② Proverbs 18:12 The pride of a man's heart is the forerunner of destruction, but humility is a guide to honor.
③ Proverbs 29:23 When a man is proud he will be humbled, but if he is humble in heart he will find honor
④ James 4:6 It is said that God opposes the proud and gives grace to the humble.
⑤ 1 Peter 5:5 gird yourself with humility toward one another, for God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
⑶ The evangelist
① A true evangelist does not want to be recognized by people, but works with joy in God's presence with thanks for being saved.
The evangelist does not work by pretending to be good to people, but works before God.
② We do not want to receive answers through people, but we hope to receive answers through God.
Abraham's pride before Melchizedek (Genesis 14:22,23)
Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I lift up my hand and swear to the Lord, the Most High God, who is the Lord of heaven and earth, that I will not have a bundle of yarn or a strand of cotton that belongs to you, lest you say that I made Abram rich.
③ We do not want to receive and enjoy giving. (Luke 14:12,13)
④ We rejoice in suffering for the sake of Christ rather than the joy of the world.
Hebrews 11:24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter.
25 Rather, they preferred to suffer with the people of God than to enjoy the pleasures of iniquity for a moment, 26 and counted the humiliation for Christ greater riches than all the treasures of Egypt, because they looked forward to the reward.
Acts 5:41 And the apostles left the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy of reproach for the sake of his name.
2 Corinthians 12:10 For Christ's sake I take pleasure in weaknesses, reproaches, privations, persecutions, and afflictions, for when I am weak, then I am strong.
⑤ When you are misunderstood or persecuted for something, rather than explaining and making excuses to solve it
Those who stand before God are the true evangelists.
If you receive a lot of reward on this earth, there is no reward in heaven.
conclusion
1. The pride of God's children, the pride of the evangelist,
An evangelist who wins proudly in the world by restoring the pride that nothing will be a problem
2. Don't worry about the present answer, and the one who laughs last is the true winner.
3. Let us prepare vessels that are worthy of being God's children and evangelists who will surely receive answers.
