GOD-He loves us John 3:16
He is Holy and He is just in all things, He punishes the wicked and removes evil from His presence Romans 1:18
MAN-God created man for fellowship and His purposes Colossians 1:16.
Man rebelled and turned from God's ways Isaiah 59:2 And the penalty is death Romans 6:23
CHRIST- God became man in the person of Jesus Christ to restore this fellowship that was broken at the fall of mankind and the earth in Genesis. Colossians 1:19-20a
Christ never sinned 1 Peter 2:22
Christ died as a substitute for man by paying our penalty for our sin. Romans 5:8
He rose from the dead 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
He is alive today and wants to give us a new life (being born again) and unbroken fellowship with God, John 10:10
Our response is to repent Matthew 4:17. We must believe Christ died to provide forgiveness and a new fellowship with God John 1:12.
We must receive Christ as Lord AND Savior, we must obey Him. We do this through prayer as we open the door to our heart for Him to change us. Revelation 3:20
The cost to God- 1 Peter 18-19.
Zero cost to man, for salvation Ephesians 2:8-9
The cost for man is discipleship Luke 9:23-24
So, discipleship to me simply means to follow the way of someone so as to spread those teachings.
So, how do you do discipleship? Are you a tract hander outer, do you feel comfortable walking up to a lost soul and speaking words of life to them? We are seed planters and waterers...God will always give the increase where He sees fit.
For myself, it is volunteering as to get to the people who need to hear the message of the gospel. Many seeds but, as yet (as far as I know) only one that I know of is now attending services and really digging into the bible. Never would have thought this man would even consider turning his life around. How about the other seeds? We don't know but either way, we obey God by spreading His good news!
Anyone want to share how they give the good news and what He has done for us?
