- What are the things that "move you"?
- what are the things that get you out of bed and cause you to do what you do?
- is it your job? Money? Success? Achieving more at work? Getting a good grade?
- Paul said that his life was useless unless he used it to share good news of God’s grace (His unmerited favor, spiritual blessing, and mercy).
- Paul had experienced Gods forgiveness and grace and now he had to share it!
- In verse 21, Paul says, "I have had one message for Jews and Greeks alike—the necessity of repenting from sin and turning to God, and of having faith in our Lord Jesus.”
- One message...
- That’s it, Repent from sin, Turn to God and Have Faith in Jesus Christ.
- And he was determined to Finish Well!
- No matter what testing came his way.
- He knew that he was going to face persecution.
- He knew that suffering was just around the corner.
- But he had to get the message out…It was that important.
- it was not good enough to keep it to himself... He had to share it!
- How about you?
- Has Jesus Christ transformed your life that much, that you have to tell others?
- Is your life worthless unless you share with others what He has done for you?
- The message that you were once lost but now you’re found.
- You were once blind but now you see.
- Is this amazing Grace, SO AMAZING that I must share it with others?
- People Have to know the real thing!
- Or have we forgotten what we’ve been saved from?
- We should have a burning desire to share this message with others.
- Your life is meaningless if you don't.
- Think about that...
- All that you achieve is pointless
- All that you work for is meaningless...
- Unless you use it to share the message of Gods grace and mercy!
- FINISH the work that God started in you.
- Jesus has given you this message and is trusting in you to share it.
- Begin to pray for others and for new opportunities to share his love.
- Open your eyes and look around you!
- Look for the opportunities to share Jesus this day and every day!
- FINISH WELL!
- Have a great Wednesday!
