Beacon of Light

 

You may have been sent an e-mail recently entitled "Beacon of Light", which recommends The Christian Way website as a means of sharing the Gospel of Christ, not only with your friends - but with the World. Beacon of Light leads to a powerful description of your responsibility as a Christian to share the Gospel with those who do not know Christ as their Savior and Lord. Learning how to share your faith is extremely important. Incredibly, God has chosen Christians as the means to His end.

Nevertheless, Christians often overload themselves with too many scheduled activities. Do you take time for evangelism in a far-too-busy life? Well, hold on!  The Christian Way website encourages you to share your faith with others and to make "sharing faith" a vital part of your life. Just e-mail, print, or make a handwritten copy of this web page. Then either forward or mail the page to your Christian friends, encouraging them to share their faith. In doing so, you will help other Christians be witnesses for Jesus Christ. That's it!

The Christian Way

How does it work? We know the early church experienced phenomenal growth in spite of rampant persecution. Those who were saved became witnesses of the saving power and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. Soon, the Christian faith spread far and wide. Of course, early Christians did not have e-mail, but used the means they had to courageously proclaim God's liberating message.

In the same way, forwarding e-mails along with a personal note can have a similar, strong impact on our own morally decaying society. As you witness in this way, you will not need to leave your home, nor will you need to do public speaking. And unlike in some foreign countries, there is no risk of being imprisoned, tortured, or even being martyred for your faith. Nevertheless, sharing your faith is not without cost. With true, saving faith and a genuine burden for the lost, you can become a soul winner at home.

Christians are to be witnesses for Jesus Christ. There's no escaping that responsibility. Christians are destined for heaven because they believe and trust the Person of Jesus. Yet Christians can and often do live self-centered lives - lives which are far less productive than they should be. Unfortunately, too many Christians have been absorbed by a world system rather than setting themselves apart in that world. Having lost their willingness to share Christ or even recognize the Biblical mandate to do so, many Christians not only need to learn how to share their faith - but why.

It's true: Once saved, always saved - if you're saved. The Bible teaches you cannot lose genuine salvation. Yet the Bible also teaches that Christians must make sure of their faith. The Bible is like a mirror. Look in the Bible to find evidence of saving faith. What you find will lead you to answer the personal question: If being a Christian were against the law, would there be enough evidence to convict you? May each of us be found guilty as charged. Since you have the responsibility to witness to others, you can still be a co-worker in sharing Christ's Gospel. Just forward this web page or a handwritten copy of it to someone who is willing to share his or her faith, yet only needs encouragement. Do it now - do it for them!

Sharing faith is a responsibility passed on from generation to generation. It is a spiritual obligation which never ends. Don’t ignore this responsibility. It is a life-long privilege every Christian needs to learn. For each of us, life is much too short. Begin sharing your Christian faith now. Realize even though you may be healthy or young, eternity is only a heartbeat away. Now click twice on the lighthouse above!
