BOLD WITNESSES
Bold Witnesses
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, – Jesus
Mathew 28 . 19
Anglican Episcopal Churches wants every person in our churches to be equipped and trained to clearly, accurately and boldly speak the good news about Jesus Christ to everyone around them.
Is the Gospel Proclaim worth being bold about?
The Christian message is not advice about how to do things for God and it is a news about what God has done for us. The word “Gospel” literally means “Good News” And the good news about Jesus is the very best and most important of news.
It is the news that God has done in Jesus everything necessary to save us
St. Paul said, I am not ashamed of the gospel for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes. Romans 1:16
Why do we need to talk about it?
Good News is only useful if it is shared and known and in Jesus final commands to his followers, he told them to “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations – Jesus Mathew 28 . 19.
Go and proclaim. These are bold, active words. In addition, we see the apostles obeying them throughout the book of Acts. Acts 2 . 36, Acts 4 . 13, Acts 4 . 29, Acts 9 . 28, Acts 13 . 46, Acts 14 . 3, and Acts 28 . 31
What is faith in the gospel absolutely informs and transforms how we conduct ourselves and that can and will impact people around us in all kinds of ways, but we are called and commanded to be news carriers to go and to proclaim to be witnesses, and to be a witness you must speak and you must testify.
How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed and how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard and how they to hear without someone are preaching. Romans 10:14.
but, Now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God so that all the Gentiles might come to the obedience that comes. Romans 16 . 26.
