by Dr Peter Chin

We are in the business of ‘making disciples’ - Great Commission

1. God did not call the angels to preach the Gospel. God has given us this awesome privilege to witness for Him.

2. The modern church has many sins. Ranking high in the sins of the modern church is the sin that we would not dream of as a sin – the sin of silence. – failing to witness JC to this dying world.

Why we as Christians should be giving our lives to share the Gospel of JC?

A. COMMISSION OF JESUS 2 COR. 5:17-20

Command

the supreme duty

the supreme command.


B.
COMPASSION OF JESUS - Jonah; Jude 21-23;Ps 126:5-6


OUR TEARS -
Missing element in our life.
Ps. 126:5-6, Matt. 9:36, Rom 9:2

PEOPLE DON’T CARE HOW MUCH YOU KNOW UNTIL THEY KNOW HOW MUCH YOU CARE.

  • Romans 8:9
  • Going – Sowing – Weeping - Reaping
  • If we want to grow in our spiritual life, the answer is share the Gospel to others.
  • If you want your Christian life to be exciting, you must continue to share the Gospel
  • I pray that you will dare enough and care enough to share the Gospel. To say, Lord, any time, anywhere, any cost, I will go.
  • God has put feet on our faith to take the Gospel everywhere. Start where you are!

C. COMPETENCY IN JESUS Act 1:8; 2 Cor. 3:5

- Jesus has called us to a life of faithfulness not success. On the contrary, He has also called us to a life of fruitfulness. John 15

The COMPETENCE / adequacy of Jesus in us through the HS – will overcome our fears and reluctances to share the Gospel.

We must know who we are in Christ to begin with to be effective in sharing the Gospel. Then to know that He has deposited the HS power in every child of God to make contagious and mighty witnesses in this land.

He will make you able and adequate to accomplish His task.
