Many times in life, we experience new events or seasons of our lives; yet, we bring the same perspective and attitude to the table. Even though God is blessing us with new opportunities and fresh chances to get the most out of life, we fail to be all that God wants us to be because we are in the way.
On Sunday night, we started studying an evangelism tract called Your Life: A New Beginning. We began learning how to actually verbalize the Gospel Truth so that God can bring lost people into our lives. When we can share the Gospel with people, God will give us the responsibility of actually doing it. We may already know people right now who do not trust in Jesus as Savior and Lord; however, we probably feel nervous or insecure about telling them that Jesus saves!
We started highlighting important verses in the Bible that help us remember the essentials of evangelism. For example, we cannot forget Romans 3:23, "For all have sinned and fall short of God's glory." We also need to understand Romans 6:23, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." A final Scripture essential to our faith is John 14:6 where Jesus Himself says, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
As you think about your impact on the lives of your family members, friends, fellow students, teachers, and even random acquaintances and strangers, think about your attitude. Check your soul and see if you are being judgmental, negative, selfish, or simply uncaring. Then, repent and let God fill you with His love so that you can love yourself and be kind and generous to others.
God loves you and died for you. He has given you this next school semester as a gift. What you do with the gift is up to you.
