\u201cIt was God [personally present] in Christ, reconciling and restoring the world to favor with Himself, not counting up and holding against [men] their trespasses [but canceling them], and committing to us the message of reconciliation [of the restoration to favor]<\/em>\u201d 2 Corinthians 5:19<\/a> AMP).<\/p>\n

The message of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is so simple and 2 Corinthians 5:19<\/a> vividly summarize its message. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The reason the world doesn\u2019t know God is because they don\u2019t know He loves them. When you know someone loves and cares so much about you and your welfare, you\u2019ll want to do everything to please that person. This is the reason He tells us to go and tell everybody that He loves them: \u2018Tell them I\u2019m not counting their sins against them, I love them very much.\u2019<\/p>\n

God knows they\u2019ll turn away from their sins and fall in love with Him when they hear and accept His gospel of love; it\u2019s a message for the whole world. No child comes out of its mother\u2019s womb saying, \u201cI\u2019m here for Jesus,\u201d we all heard the gospel, and then made up our minds to love Jesus and live for Him. Thus is our responsibility as God\u2019s children to take His message of love to the uttermost parts of the earth.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s our job to let the world know that though sin separated man from God, the Lord Jesus initiated and completed the reconciliatory process and made peace between God and man through the sacrifice of His blood. Through that sacrifice, He presented us \u201choly and without blame<\/em>\u201d to God Ephesians 1:3<\/a>; not when we get to heaven but right here on earth. This is the good news He wants us to herald to the whole world\u2014the message of His love.<\/p>\n

No wonder the Apostle Paul said, \u201cFor I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth\u2026<\/em>\u201dRomans 1:16<\/a>. Tell everybody about the gospel, it\u2019s nothing to be ashamed of! We\u2019re God\u2019s ambassadors, sent into the world as ministers of reconciliation. This is our prime responsibility as Christians. The world will never hear or know what God has done if we don\u2019t announce the gospel through every available means. That\u2019s why you must become radically involved in propagating the message of God\u2019s love to the ends of the earth.<\/p>\n

Confession<\/h3>\n

I am fully kitted with the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ; my feet are shod with the promptness and readiness to propagate the message of Christ\u2019s love for mankind! Today, I make manifest the savour of His knowledge everywhere I go, in Jesus\u2019 Name. Amen. <\/em><\/p>\n

Further Study<\/strong>: Romans 10:13-15<\/a>: <\/strong>\u201cFor whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. [14] How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? [15] And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

2 Timothy 4:2<\/a><\/strong>: \u201cPreach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
