Col 4:3 / The power of evangelism
Evangelism is the mission of the saints, and we must recognize that evangelism is very valuable. Why is the gospel we preach given the power?
1. Because it tells the mystery of Christ
The time has come to repay the debtor's heart for the gospel of the Lord, who has already made us know the secret of the kingdom of heaven and allows us to live a Christian life according to the mystery. We must diligently exhort our families and neighbors so that they can hold onto the hope of heaven and walk with the Lord. We know from the Bible that Jesus came for all human sins and died on the cross to complete redemption, and for those who believe, the risen Jesus will come again. We are people of hope who live in anticipation of the Lord who will come again.
How will we respond if we are called for the effort of preaching the Gospel?
Although it is simple, when you preach the gospel of the Lord, God works and works so that you can bear amazing fruits.
We had a man named Ko Jae-bong, a death row inmate in the 1960s.
Go Jae-bong, a death row inmate, was so ferocious that there was no senior who was talking about his rice bowls while he was in prison. On one occasion, he peeked through the bars and poked the prison warden's eye with his finger.
The obscene rumors coming out of his mouth were indescribable.
When he was punished for stealing a small radio and released from prison, he tried to annihilate his family in retaliation.
Ko Se-bong was a vicious man who killed six members of his family with an axe.
He was waiting for the day he would die without knowing forgiveness and love. One day, a layman delivered the Bible to him and returned, saying, "I was a sinner who had to die like you, but read this Bible and you have been saved."
He was full of curiosity and read the Bible over and over again.
He received Jesus Christ while reading the Bible and was transformed.
started preaching.
Seeing such a vicious man changed
Of the 2,000 inmates, 1,800 signed up to believe in Jesus.
"Dear Heavenly Father, God who saved me, everyone in prison
Save souls and become a Christian first before becoming a military officer.
Please, the shooter who executes me shoots me to send me to the Lord.
Forgive me, for my sins in the world are forgiven, and
It's nice to see you, so I give thanks..."
And pray for the nation and the people, and say, "The shining and high throne,"
Singing the hymns "The bright road to heaven" and "Dear Saviour,"
He died with an angelic face.
Dear saints,
The fact that an unknown layman gave a Bible to him caused an amazing work
There has been a history of death-row prisoners being saved and many people being saved through him.
Because it is God's secret
Let's carry out the mission of a lighthouse to illuminate the rough sea by turning on our small fire.
2. Because Heaven is Near
When Jesus preached the gospel, the first thing He said was to repent.
It is said that the reason is because heaven is near.
Apostle Paul to Timothy
“Preach the word of God in season and out of season,” he said.
Because the day of the Lord's coming is very near, today is
The time has come to preach the gospel in season and out of season
From the souls around us to the souls of people living everywhere
In order to be saved, we must pray and evangelize.
A certain saint says that he is living by delivering seven tracts every day
Seven means perfection, so it is said to deliver seven chapters at a time.
It must be remembered that in one year, the gospel will be preached to 2,555 people.
Some saints say that they preach only to those who are sitting
It is said that there is a possibility of reading the tract only if the person is seated.
Some saints write the names of people to evangelize in their notebooks, and every morning
I pray for him, and on average, it takes three years to lead a life of faith.
Some saints pray with their hearts even though they cannot evangelize with words because they do not have the ability to speak, and they say that they go to church once a week and after continuing for a year.
Some saints turn to the house they want to evangelize whenever they pass the house where they live.
I prayed in my heart while drawing the cross, and it was said that he came to church shortly after.
A certain priest went to evangelize 60 times to save a family.
When I heard that it was the 60th time, I was thrilled and said that I would go to worship once.
It is said that this is the starting point of the life of faith and is living by faith with zeal.
Dear saints,
Are you a person of Christ?
If so, are you preaching the gospel of Christ?
Please don't make excuses that I'm lacking and don't know anything
find a way for each
Let's become blessed saints who carry out the mission of evangelism well
The gospel we preach is that the Spirit of God will come to heal the wounded and
Release to the prisoners, liberty to the captives, freedom to the poor
Said it would be good news
We must preach the Lord's wonderful deeds and miracles
So that the news of Jesus may spread throughout the earth.
Let this amazing work happen through our saint
