Bible Question: Do any of you know of any Scripture passages that say to some effect that after we are truly converted we will have a inherent desire to share our faith and to see others come to know the truth as well? |
Bible Answer: Hi, w8ing! Not only is it an inherent desire, but it is a Command: and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. (Luke 24:47) Compare with: Matthew 5:14-16; 10:27; 24:14; 26:13; 28:19; Mark 3:14; 13:9-10; 16:15; Luke 9:2, 6, 60; 11:33; 12:3; 24:47; As far as a direct example of the change that comes to a Christian once he/she has truly accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior... here's Paul acknowledgement to Christians who experienced just that: You became imitators of us and of the Lord; in spite of severe suffering, you welcomed the message with the joy given by the Holy Spirit. And so you became a model to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia. The Lord's message rang out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia--your faith in God has become known everywhere. Therefore we do not need to say anything about it, for they themselves report what kind of reception you gave us. They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead--Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath. (1 Thessalonians 1:6-10) God Bless! Angel |
