I couldn't ignore this thought that continues to swirl within my headspace. We are all living through a time of immense darkness & deception.
Not only is it heartwrenching but also incredibly disturbing and quite unbelievable at this point.
The world needs the Gospel now more than ever & today I felt led to elaborate on why sharing the truth of His precious word is SO important in our society.
The Great Commission is the absolute command that the Lord gives us upon receiving Him as Lord & Savior.
"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." (Mark 16:15)
We are called to simply go and share the Good News of the Gospel and to plant seeds wherever we may be. So many souls live without Christ and absolutely every heart needs Him.
Never underestimate the power of planting the seed. Go and tell someone about Jesus today.
As I was placing this particular point together, my mind immediately settled on how incredibly blinded our society is to truth; the youth of today have been conditioned to believe in movements or ideals without having the ability to explain exactly why they are following it or believing in it.
Science tells us that from eighteen to twenty two, the brain continues to develop (up until age 25) and young minds are incredibly impressionable.
Their hearts continuously search for something to believe in and a place to belong.
As I have previously noted, it is crucial to share the Gospel because if the seed isn't at least planted, that good news would remain hidden to those that are lost and without Christ.
We are called to shine His light upon a world that is shrouded in darkness.
"But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them." (2 Corinthians 4:3-4)
There are those who won't like you and will absolutely hate you simply because you are choosing to share the Gospel.
And that's okay.
The world hates the truth, but it so desperately needs it.
"If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you." (John 15:18)
No matter the opposition, no matter what people throw at you..
Live with an unashamed faith.
Be unafraid to share it with others.
Be bold. Be courageous.
Because, you never know what Christ will do through a heart that is willing.
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek." (Romans 1:16)
