Churches in the West have placed such a heavy emphasis on teaching and making disciples that the work of sowing gospel seeds has been undervalued and even ignored. Finding converts and making disciples are interconnected tasks, and Christians should be encouraged to do both. You can’t make disciples unless you first find converts, and the work of finding converts cannot happen unless we raise up disciples to continue doing that work.
Let’s encourage each other to undertake the entire Great Commission, beginning with step one, which is to go and proclaim the gospel. Then, let’s advance to steps two and three—making disciples and baptizing them.
The Good News of Jesus Christ
God is perfect and He lives forever. He created humans to live with Him forever, but humans sinned. We’re all sinful and our bodies die. There’s nothing we can do to forgive our own sins and make our bodies immortal. We need God to give us a clean soul and a body that will never die. God loves us so much He sent Jesus to Earth to do just that.
Jesus is perfect, yet He took our sins upon himself when He died on the cross. He bore our pain in His body. He suffered Hell on the cross so that whoever believes in Him doesn’t have to suffer Hell for eternity. God raised Jesus to life, into an immortal body three days later.
Receive Jesus– Right Now—and Be Saved for Eternity!
If you would like to receive Jesus as your Savior, right now. All you have to do is believe. Believe that Jesus took all your sins upon Himself when He died on the cross. He was buried, and three days later, God raised Him from the dead. Turn away from any false beliefs and believe that God loved you so much He sent His Son, Jesus, to Earth to die for your sins on the cross. That’s all you have to do.
Whoever believes in Jesus’ death and resurrection receives forgiveness of sins and eternal life with God. In Jesus, and in Jesus alone, we have peace with God! In Jesus alone, we are children of God. In Jesus, your soul is made clean, and the Holy Spirit seals you for the day of resurrection, the day on which you will receive a new and immortal body.
You’re a new creation in Christ, inside out—body and soul. As a new creation, you get to live with God for eternity.
What Happens if I Reject Jesus?
Unbelief in Jesus is the greatest sin a human can commit. Those who reject Jesus will remain in sin and be cast into the Lake of Fire, known as Hell.
I Believe Jesus is Savior. Now What?
Turn away from false religions, man-made traditions, and self-made beliefs. Stop trusting in your own efforts and the systems and products of this world for your security and happiness. Trust God alone.
Turn away from all sin, such as anger, grudges, immoral thoughts and deeds, gossip, hateful thoughts and speech, selfishness, pride, greed, and the empty pleasures of this life.
Talk to God continually in prayer.
Read the Bible daily. Start with the Gospel of John if you’ve never read the Bible before.
Worship God with other believers.
Try joining a local church, and ask about baptism.
Go and tell others about Jesus.
Wait eagerly for Jesus’ appearing, at which time all who are in Christ will receive resurrected bodies.
