Three important truths we need to learn to be effective in communicating the Good News with others:
I. Understanding God’s Love for People
“Long ago, even before he made the world, God chose us to be his very own through what Christ would do for us… His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by sending Jesus Christ to die for us. Ephesians 1:4-5 (LB)
“God was in Christ, restoring the world to himself…” 2 Corinthians 5:19a (LB)
II. Developing a Heart for the Lost
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:19-20 (NIV)
“Because we loved you, we were happy to share not only God's Good News with you, but even our own lives. “ 1 Thessalonians 2:8 (NCV)
III. Discovering Ways I Can Reach Out to Others
Jesus prayed to the Father: “As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world.” John 17:18 (NIV)
“You are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light..” 1 Peter 2:9 (NLT)
