It is our duties as Christians to share the word of Christ unto others. His message is clear to us in Matthew 28:16-20-
“Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 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.”
Christianity is a gift. It was a gift given to us and it is the gift that we can give to others. When we ask ourselves, “how can we change the world and make it a better place?” the simplest answer is to start with one person at a time as these people will also make great people of others. But if we want to instill this radical change in the hearts of others, we must understand that it is only Christ who can truly change our hearts from within which can oftentimes be a struggle in itself.
So before you begin to share the gospel of the Lord, ask yourselves- Why do I want to disciple?
“By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so, you will be My disciples.”
John 15:8
I like to say that we must fall in love with Christ. When we fall in love with Him, there is an insatiable need to tell the world of our new faith and love and also, to allow others to feel the same kind of love, as well!
Christ has a wonderful way of pulling us from the dark and saving those who are lost. He wants us to witness His splendor and receive Him in our lives so that we may experience a full and better life- isn’t this something we would want to share with others?
There are definitely more reasons why we should share the word to others and begin our discipleship. If you feel like this is your calling and that you are spiritually ready to add more sheep to your flock, seek for guidance from the Holy Spirit and speak to your elders, as well.
Wilson Alvarez, a lover of Jesus Christ had an early experience where he had a vision of the Risen Lord & instantaneously became a believer at the prime age of 3. Through out his young life, he always felt protection and blessings and even though was not walking with the Lord, always acknowledged his blessings. It was when he turned 30, that he became a follower and prayed based on John 3:3 – “In order to enter the Kingdom of God, you must be born again.” Mr. Alvarez enjoys Men’s ministries and is active in the prison ministry movement where he gives weekly leadership and christian talks.
