SPREAD THE GOSPEL
The gospel is not a secret. And in no case when we share it do we suggest that we don't want the whole world to know all about it. Evangelism is always public. As Christians we share the gospel with everybody and we're suppose to. As disciples in the process of being shaped in the image of Christ, we are committed to the task of inviting others to join us in this journey. This journey does not happen overnight, but rather, in the words of early Adventist writer Ellen White, "Sanctification is the work of a lifetime." This demands a great commitment. We are all disciples and thus we are all committed to making more disciples; not just converts or proselytes (see Matthew 23:15). Just as God is not finished with us, we are not finished when a person accepts Christ and buries their past life in the watery grave of baptism. We must be committed to seeing them through to the other side of their journey. We must demonstrate a commitment to their full spiritual development. |
