'28' - Day 8

Many years ago, there was an organization that promoted wearing a pin with two question marks on it to spark conversation about your relationship with Christ. So, someone might ask, “why are you wearing that pin?” or “what do the two question marks on that pin mean?” To which, you could respond, “Do you know for sure that you are going to be with God in Heaven?” and “If God were to ask you, “Why should I let you into My Heaven?” what would you say?”

Acts 8 is a key chapter. It is a chapter about evangelism. Evangelism comes from a Greek word that means “to tell the good news.” To evangelize is to tell someone the good news about Jesus Christ. Acts 1-7 shows how the good news spread in Jerusalem. That is where Jesus said the disciples would begin to witness. Acts 8 tells how believers began to scatter as a result of persecution and began to evangelize in Judea and Samria. Remember Luke’s greatest purpose. It is to show how the gospel spread from Jerusalem to Rome by the POWER of the Spirit.

1 Peter 3:15 says, “ALWAYS be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have, why you’re living the way you are.” ALWAYS be ready to explain it. ALWAYS is another extreme word I pay particularly close attention to when it is being used. Especially when used in Biblical text. “ALWAYS” allows for no exclusions or exceptions. It is whole. It is full. It encompasses the entire extent of subject it references. It means “in EVERY case.”

Are you ALWAYS prepared to give an answer for what you believe? Do you know what you would say if someone asked about your faith in Christ? Check out our FOLLOW CHRIST link for more information!
