Kingdom Opportunities Part 2
Colossians 4:5-6
Most Christian workers struggle with evangelism and so rarely do it. We spend most of our time with Christians and minister to each other as evidence of our faith. Misconceptions concerning what evangelism is and our personal responsibility to share inhibits God’s use of our lives to take the gospel to the world.
An Authentic Christian Life is vital to evangelism. This is not becoming a Christian clone choosing to walk like others in a form of religion.
Go and Tell v.17b
God has gospel purposes in all the setbacks of our lives.
The world watches to see if the faith we speak of has influence on the way we handle the storms of life.
We can live our days with a sense of expectancy and readiness to move with the gospel of peace.
Open Blind Eyes v.18a;
To “have your eyes opened” is to become aware of the truth regarding someone or something.
We pray for the miracle of spiritual sight for the blind and put the truth of Christ into a person's mind with a testimony.
Turn darkness to light v.18b
The world will never treat the darkness as something strange until their eyes are opened.
Where there is spiritual blindness people are at home in the darkness of sin.
The power of Satan is broken by the Spirit of truth.
Receive Salvation v.18c
It is faith in Christ which brings salvation and sanctification.
