A WITNESSING LIFESTYLE (Acts 5:19-20)
A WITNESSING LIFESTYLE (Acts 5:19-20)
The thing I love about the book of Acts is that it teaches us the Biblical truths about what I want to call “That Old-Time Religion.” It teaches us the concepts about the power of the Holy Spirit and the overwhelming love of Jesus Christ that our parents, grandparents, and great grandparents learned, believed, and taught. These are not new, socially adjusted, truths about what is right and wrong in the eyes of God that we are learning about. These truths have been ours to apply to our lives from the time that Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden. There is no changing or turning with God. Today, His Word is just as applicable, and His promises are as secure, as they have always been, and always will be.
Today, I want to ask you a question: Did you know that there is something that you are privileged to do that the angels are not privileged to do? Did you know that there is something that you are commanded to do that no angel has ever been commanded to do? Angels are not allowed to preach and witness about the gospel message of Jesus Christ. Why is it that angels can’t preach the gospel of Jesus? It is because when we preach the gospel of Jesus, or when we are soul winners, what we are doing is this: we are sharing what Jesus has done for us. Jesus said, “Ye shall be my witnesses.” (Acts 1:8)
When you go out tomorrow to live a witnessing lifestyle, and you see anybody coming down the street, I want you to know that people all have the same heartaches, and they all have the same hunger, because down in their hearts they need to know God, and the things of this world cannot satisfy. And they may not even know that it is God that they are searching for, but they need to know Him. They also all have the same hope—and His name is Jesus. Jesus will save anybody. The hope of the world is Jesus. All men have a common hope, this same hope; there is no other way apart from Jesus. Jesus is not the best way to heaven; He is the only way.
And here’s the bottom line: All people need the same help. They need somebody to tell them about Jesus. That somebody is you.
Click on the link below to hear a message on how we can live a witnessing lifestyle, by making ourselves available, expendable, and adaptable to the calling of God to witness to a world of people who have the same heartaches, the same hunger, the same hope, and the same need of help.
