Dealing With Diversity, Economy and Fear

Dealing With Diversity, Economy and Fear

Preacher Huijun - 20 November 2014

Repaying A Debt Of Love

We often think it is hard to evangelise because we are inadequate in far too many areas. For example, we cannot talk as well as the preachers in the church, we are weak in faith and thus on what grounds we can tell others how strong Christ has been in our lives, and when we look at our actions, we find ourselves committing more mistakes in life than non-believers. Actually, evangelism starts from the right heart. The central of evangelism is a person, after receiving the love and grace of God, sees how much the others around her need this love and complete gospel of God too. The burden she has for others based on the truth she has heard and convicted of propels her to speak what God wants her to speak and testify what God wants her to testify in her current conditions. When one receives the conviction to evangelise, all her conditions are conditions God will use to manifest His glory, reaching out to the harassed and helpless people in the world who are chosen to respond to the love of God. Therefore, evangelism is not an enforced activity but natural product in children of God who strive to follow God in all their ways. With this, contrary to what people of the world think, all the time, effort and things she has sacrificed in evangelising will not feel like a loss but worthwhile devotion because she sees the overflowing love she receives from God gives rise to the need to repay the debt of love of God.
