📖 In Second Corinthians chapter 6 today Paul adds to his message that all Christ followers are to proactively share the Gospel for the glory of God, and turns his focus on the time-sensitive urgency in which to do so…
“Working together with Christ then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain. For He says, ‘In a favorable time I listened to you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you.’ Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation!” (vs 1-2).
Q. What reasons do you have for not making it a daily priority to tell people about their urgent need for Jesus Christ?
🙏 Heavenly Father please forgive me for the many times that I have used the tired and lazy (anti-great commission) excuses of…
“I just don’t have enough time, or I’m just not equipped enough, or I’m afraid of being rejected, or my sin is just too heavy, etc” to talk to people about your strong warnings and good news message to a lost and dying world.
🙏 Lord Jesus we praise you today for opening our hearts and minds to the new covenant realities of grace, transformation, and urgency to share you with others – the harvest is plenty but the laborers are few.
🙏 Holy Spirit please convict and empower us to never be ashamed of the Gospel, and to consistently be on mission for Christ as we fervently commit to holiness and bold proclamation of the one who called us out of darkness and into His marvelous light – Please help us all to overcome our fears, put aside lesser things, and daily embrace our true identities as treasured and beloved temples of the living God…
✝️ “I will make my dwelling among you, and walk among you, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people… Therefore strive for holiness and be separated from evil says the Lord, and I will be a Father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.”
2 Corinthians 6:16-18
