Subject: How do you share Jesus with others? |
Bible Note: However Acts 1:8 does talk of the Holy Spirit being given to empower us to be Jesus' witnesses to the end of the earth. Acts 1:8 (NASB) 8 but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth." No we are not all apostles called to establish churches, nor are we all evangelist called to preach his word to the lost and dying, nor are all call to be missionaries, teachers or pastors. But we are charged to live Christ like and be ready in season and out to give reason for out hope. 1 Pet 3:15 We are called to serve 1 Peter 2:9 (NASB) 9 But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; Yes milk is food but milk is for babes. Hebrews 5:13 (NASB) 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant. |
