EAGER TO SHARE

Baca: Romans 1:14-17

"It doesn't matter if people are civilized and educated, or if they are uncivilized and uneducated. I must tell the good news to everyone. That's why I am eager to visit all of you in Rome. I am proud of the good news! It is God's powerful way of saving all people who have faith, whether they are Jews or Gentiles. The good news tells how God accepts everyone who has faith, but only those who have faith. It is just as the Scriptures say, 'The people God accepts because of their faith will live.'" ( Romans 1:14-17 ) CEV

Thoughts for Today
Today's scripture reveals the apostle Paul's enthusiasm about sharing the gospel, the good news about Jesus, to everyone--civilized and uncivilized, educated and uneducated, Jew and Gentile. Why was he never ashamed to share the gospel with others? Because he believed with all his heart that the gospel reveals the power of God to us and that through believing the gospel we are saved from our sin. He was eager to share the good news because he knew the gospel brings salvation to all who believe. And he believed that the potential results of his testimony far outweighed any rejections or danger that might come.

Jesus has called every believer to share the gospel with others. Are you as eager as Paul was to share the good news? Or is your witness hindered by fears that are common to many ... fear of what others would say ... fear of being misunderstood ... fear of losing friends ... fear of being perceived as a fanatic.

Consider this ...
These types of fears are natural--but not productive. Think about opportunities you have had to share Jesus with someone ... but didn't. What was holding you back? Ask God to help you identify and overcome any obstacles to your witness.
