Go Outside

Read Acts 2:47

We are so often associated with same - the same people, places and things.  Yet as followers of Jesus we're called to go outside ourselves and into this world so that others will have the opportunity to hear and respond to the message of the cross where Jesus sacrificed His life.

The questions is why?  Why are we to do this?  The simple answer is we are in a battle with the spiritual forces of this world that do not want anyone, let alone any more people coming to faith in the finished work of Jesus on the cross where His sacrifice paid once and for all time the penalty for our sins so that all who believe and place their faith and trust in Jesus' forgiveness and leadership in their lives might be now in a right relationship with God the Father.

So who are you in relationship with so that the family of God, that is the church of God may grow like we see in Acts 2:47?  We are called to be intentional as we share the grace we have received with those who have yet to receive God's grace.  Will people we talk with about faith always receive this good news?  No but that's not the point.  The point is what are we doing to go outside, even outside our own comfort zones to let this good news be heard among our family and friends.

Pray this week who you can be talking with about your faith so that they might be able to take one step closer to coming to faith in Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith.
