Recently, I was asked by a young man what I thought it meant for a person to be godly or to live godly. My reply, while not fancy with robust words or elegance boiled down to this. One key aspect of a person who is godly and/or living godly is if they are making much of CHRIST JESUS the LORD. Interestingly, when examined, the Scriptures no where encourage or expect a true believer to remain silent. It is quite the opposite, those who are recognized as being true followers of the LORD JESUS are the ones obeying, from love, the great commission to go and make disciples.
Join with me on this short video as we examine what it means to make disciples where you are. We will examine several Scriptures as well as examining several reasons given why people do not share CHRIST JESUS, HIM crucified and HIM risen and returning. May GOD be glorified. May you be encouraged, exhorted and inspired by GOD and for GOD to go forth and proclaim HIS excellencies. Grace and peace to all who are in CHRIST JESUS the LORD. Amen.
18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
19 “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
(Matthew 28:18–20)14 I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.
15 So, for my part, I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.”
(Romans 1:14–17)
