In Matthew 24:14 Jesus said, “And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”
Today the kingdom of God is realized as we proclaim the crucified, risen, and returning Lord Jesus Christ. The gospel is the good news of the Kingdom of God that has come in the person and work of Jesus Christ. How do we enter into the kingdom of God? There is only one way, and that is to believe on Jesus Christ and repent of our sins. That is the message we preach.
Our message is the gospel of free grace. It’s what God has accomplished for us in the sacrificial substitutionary atoning death of Jesus Christ for our sins. As Christ’s followers we freely share the good news of the gospel to the world. It’s imperative that we make the message of salvation clear to others in our presentations of the gospel message.
Remember, salvation is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8 (ESV) tells us, “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.” God has provided everything we need in order to be saved. There is nothing we can do of ourselves to be saved, it’s only by accepting the gift we have been offered. Acts 16:31 (ESV) tells us to “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved.”
Every time we share the message, we are personally involved in what God is doing in building His eternal kingdom. God equips us with what we need to present the good news. So, we can expect God’s power and sustaining grace to meet all of our needs as we take the good news to a lost world.
The Holy Spirit gives boldness to testify under all circumstances for Christ. Matthew 10:20 (ESV), verifies that the Holy Spirit gives us what to say, “For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.” Success in personal witnessing is simply sharing Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit and then leaving the results up to God.
Our job is to be faithful to Christ under all circumstances, and because The Lord is sovereign in His kingdom, whatever we experience as His servants is fully known to Him and happens ultimately for our good and His eternal glory. Our responsibilities as witnesses are great for all believers and the rewards of being faithful to the Lord Jesus Christ are eternal.
