We must no longer be casual or timid about relaying the gospel to our generation, but we must be bold and urgent about it, as Christ would have us be while there’s still time in our crazy and chaotic culture.

Take up the responsibility of being Christ’s ambassador with the time you have left by working to see the people around you as in desperate need of being reconciled to God.

Stop prejudging fellow church members by outward measures or their worldly pasts, and accept them as redeemed new creations in Christ.

Because Christ paid the ultimate price to redeem us, our love for him should compel us to put aside our old desires and live wholly for him.

In light of all people one day standing before God, we must be motivated to live and speak with a deep concern for others, always with a clear conscience, resolved to be faithful regardless of how we are perceived.

We need to live thoughtfully, carefully, and boldly for Christ, knowing that one day, our King will evaluate and reward us for how well we did.

We should live with the kind of confidence in God’s promises that makes it obvious we are certain about our perfected and eternal future.

As Christians we shouldn’t be discouraged by failing bodies, but should always pin our hope on the eternal glorified bodies that God has graciously promised to us.

Keep being sacrificial and confident as you hold up God’s powerful word, knowing this his saving promises are guaranteed by his faithful character.

There will always be a cost to relaying the truth to our generation, but that hardship will demonstrate the parallel of Christ rejection and suffering that results in salvation and many changed lives.
