Bible reading for Day 37  | Romans 10:13-14

“For, ‘everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?”

The Gospel is not just Good News. It is the most important news. It is a message that can save people forever.

That is why we cannot take the Gospel lightly. Jesus has called all of us to share this News so that people can know of Him, believe in Him, call on Him and be saved by Him. This all starts with someone telling them the Gospel. 

It may not be easy. You may not be believed. You may even be laughed at. But Jesus has given you the power to be brave for Him. God has promised in the Bible that His Word has the power to change people’s hearts and save them from Satan.  

You do not need to be an expert on the Bible or be a Pastor to tell people about Jesus. All you need to tell them is: Jesus died for our sins and He rose again so that all who believe in and receive Him will be saved and will live forever. All you need is the Spirit of God to give power to your words. 

So look up and look around. Wherever you are – in school, at home, on the streets – see the people who may not be saved because they do not know Jesus. You have the power to change their lives with the Gospel! 

God made you for this reason. Don’t waste your life! 

Discuss 

1. Can you think of a Bible character who shared the Gospel? What did he or she tell people?

2. How has God prepared you to share the Good News? Has He given you friends and neighbours to share the Gospel with? Has He given you a knowledge of Mandarin or another language that you can use when talking to those who speak that language?

3. What is stopping you from sharing the Gospel? Will you pray to Jesus to remove these worries? 

Pray 

1. Pray that God will help you to speak and behave kindly so that people around you can see God’s love and wisdom through you.

2. Ask God to help your words carry His power to change lives when you talk about Jesus.

3. Pray that God will give you more time with Him, reading the Bible and talking to Him, so that you are prepared when someone asks you to share about Jesus.
