Summary: As Christians holding the cure for a dying world, we must abandon inertia and fearlessly share the Gospel with the lost. God has given us a spirit of power, not cowardice, so nothing should stop us from bringing hope to those around us. Let us commit to fighting the good fight of faith by telling others about Jesus and answering the Lord's call with, "Send me!"
There is a world out there that is dying, and we as Christians have the medicine for its healing. Fighting the good fight of faith also means abandoning inertiaand motivating ourselves to go, to go out and seek the lost in the name of the Lord. Paul decided to stay more than a year in Corinth preaching the Gospel after God told him in a night vision: “Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent; for I am with you, and no one will attack you to hurt you; for I have many people in this city" (Acts 18:9-10). Corinth was a wicked city, twisted by sin; however, through the preaching of Paul and his missionary team, the church in Corinth came to be a large and outstanding church. The Lord knows His sheep and those who will be His; therefore, we cannot remain indifferent. We must help Him because we already know that His desire is for everyone to come to repentance and to His light.
What prevents us from doing this if we walk in the Spirit who has given us the power to break the barriers of darkness? It is our will! “For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power, love, and self-control” (1Ti 1:7.
Brothers and sisters in Christ, often when taking stock of our Christian life, we exclaim: "If I had known this before! If I had known Christ years ago, from how many mistakes I would have been spared!" Think about the great multitude around you that dreams of hope, of being loved in a new dimension. Decide to speak about Christ to that person, friend, relative, or coworker you have in mind, the one you are praying for to come to the feet of Christ. We have everything in our favor to fight and win the good fight of faith. Tell the Lord: “Send me!”. God bless you!
What do you think about "Send me!"? We would love to hear from you.
