Making Disciples
Matthew 28:19,20
The
very last thing Jesus said to us, before He ascended back to Heaven, was
to go and make disciples. "Go therefore and make disciples of all
the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and
of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded
you; and lo I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Matthew
28:19,20.
After
reading these two verses we can see that Jesus expects us to lead others
to Christ, to baptize them and to teach them also. What an awesome
responsibility! We have a simple formula we would like to share with
you concerning leading others to Christ. It is as easy as A B C.
A... Acknowledge...we
are all sinners and cannot save ourselves.
Romans 3:23. Yes all have
sinned; all fall short of God's glorious ideal. T. L. B.
B... Believe...on
Jesus, that He is the Son of God and that He has paid for
our Salvation throught His sinless
life and His sacrificial death and glorious Resurrection. 1 John
3:23 and this is what God says we must do; " Believe on the name
of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another". T. L. B.
C... Confess
Jesus Christ to others. Romans 10:9. " For if you tell others with
your own mouth that Jesus Christ is your Lord and believe in your
own heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved".
T. L. B.
Lord,
give us the boldness and desire to lead others to your saving grace.
Don't let us be content with where we are. Help us to always strive
to fulfill your Great Commission. Amen.
