How will we personally "Preach the Good News"?  |
| |
| I recently read Mark 16:15 And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." This is the command Jesus gave before He ascended into heaven. I started wondering how I could personally apply this to my life. We know that to everyone who does God's will, He will say, "Well done, good and faithful servant." But if we aren't doing anything, He can't say "Well done". And we all want to hear those words, because they are said to those who get into heaven. So how can we practically apply this verse (to preach the gospel) to our own lives? Obviously not everyone will be called by God to go to the ends of the earth, but everyone has a part. Someone may be called to go, someone else to help them go, and someone else to pray for them as they go. We each can proclaim the gospel by our lives. We can live the gospel and offer hope to everyone around us. Sometimes just a smile coming from the hope inside will be used by God to give hope to someone. We can offer encouragement from Scripture to anyone who needs hope. So what are your ideas on how you plan to practically apply this command to your life? And we must remember that every command we obey will bring blessing into our lives! How can we proclaim the good news to every creature? | | | | | |

| | You can preach all you want but if your life doesn't show it your preaching doesn't do a bit of good. I think you pretty much covered all the ways of spreading the good news. | | | | | | |

| | There is an old saying "Actions speak louder then Words!" that certainly applies to the question that you are asking. We cannot go into all the world without first starting right at home. Just in the way we treat our family members is a witness or denial of Jesus. What we do with our life is a witness to Jesus. The simple part of the "remember the Sabbath and keep it holy"...if we do not WORSHIP Jesus, If we do not pray then how are we going to preach that gospel. You seem to have summed it all up very well. | | | | | | |

| | I think we should start in the family. It is sad to see other people preaching the gospel in different places yet, one of the members of the family is not yet a Christian. If we want to share the gospel we have to make sure that we reach our hands and hearts to the people around us before extending to a larger community. And as we live according to His will, we are actually sharing His words. Sometimes it is better to live by the words than say it. But as God's sons, we are tasked to share and help the people know about Him. | | | | | | |

| | This is a tough job, because if you preach to people they will think you are crazy or delusional and the most heart braking of all is they reject you and ignore your preaching. But if we continue to do preaching and people believe our faith and the bible its like Jesus is giving us a tap in our back when we see them happy with their chosen faith. | | | | | | |

| | I'm not sure. I know a lot of people don't want to listen,and I don't want to talk to them. just kidding! It's hard to proclaim the good news to every creature, because every creature doesn't want to listen. But hey YOUTUBE is a great way to reach a lot of people all over the world! Maybe you should try that! | | | | | | |

| | Our lives are a type of preaching, so we must make sure that we live in such a way as to glorify God. Not in a pious way necessarily, but in a practical way by being honest, even tmepered, preferring others above ourselves and so on. BUT... we also need to be aware of the times when it's time to say something. To ask someone if they know Christ, or if they'd like to. I don't mean preaching at them. Never tell anyone they should or shouldn't do a thing (unless they're already a Christian and God has told you to speak to them). When we preach AT people, we're judging them and we don't have the right or the sense to do that; only God does. If you pray and keep your spiritual eyes open, there will come a time when you will know that it's time to speak seriously to a person about a relationship with God. The Holy Spirit will have prepared the heart. Don't make the mistake of saying "I'll call my pastor" or "Come to church with me next Sunday" when you know they're ready. Anyone can lead a person to know Christ. The "sinner's prayer" is not written in stone. You will know what to do; just do it. | | | | | | |

| | First of all we are supposed to be teaching by example, not with just words only. Read the last few verses of the book of Mark. Jesus was telling the 11 Apostles how to identify true believers by what they would be doing. There is a very important message in these few verses. Notice where Jesus made the statement that those that believed and were baptized would be saved. The other side of that coin is if you have not been baptized and are not a true believer then you are not saved. Then He goes on and tells what a true believer will be doing, healing the sick, raising the dead and casting out devils. According to that scripture I have never seen a true believer so I have never seen a person that was truly saved. We all need to give these few verses some very serious thought and maybe giving some serious thought to trying to become true believers. BTW I don't think Jesus was talking about being baptized with water but rather being baptized with the Holy Spirit. That's the only way we can have God's power to do these things. Art | | | | | | |
