This Sunday Pastor Yai (in front of the soon to be finished new church building) had a sermon on how to share gospel with power. Apostle Paul used to persecute Christians but Jesus touched him and he was turned into the most successful evangelist of his time. What were his attitudes to sharing gospel?1. Share with commitment
In Romans 1:14-17 Paul says 'I am obligated ...' to share gospel with everyone regardless where they come from or how they are judged. Why did Paul feel this way? He had received salvation, forgiveness and new life freely, and he wanted everybody to know about power of gospel.
2. Share with eagerness
Paul was eager to share gospel because he knew how profoundly it had changed his own life. 'That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you ...' (Romans 1:15). He had received the Holy Spirit which motivated him to tell about Jesus no matter what his situation (Acts 1:8 '...you will receive power with the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses ... to the ends of the earth.') On his way to Rome he shared gospel to prisoners and kings (Acts 16:29 - 34, 24:24).
3. Share with pride
There is no reason to be timid about telling about how faith has changed your life. On the contrary, we should be proud of knowing Jesus. Romans 1:16 'I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes...' God is a just and cannot accept sin, but he also loves us. Jesus took the punishment that should have justly belonged to us. By asking forgiveness and asking Jesus to become the Lord of your life, you accept Jesus’ sacrifice for your sins and receive God’s love. The gospel is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes.
