Think about all the people you encounter in a week. Maybe you see your teacher, bus driver, coach, grocery store clerk, doctor, friends, and your family. You have so many relationships with people, and you’ll continue forming new relationships as you grow. Why does God bring so many people into our lives?
What if the answer to that question is so you can help them know and grow closer to Jesus Christ? Every follower of Jesus has been given a mission to share the good news of the gospel with those God places in our lives. When we know Jesus as Lord, every relationship becomes an opportunity to share Jesus in hopes they will believe in Him as Savior and Lord.
In his letter to the Romans, Paul said that for people to hear the good news someone must share it. Jesus has given His followers the privilege of telling the world about His amazing love and inviting them to believe in Him. Everyone who calls on the name of Jesus will be saved. We are called to tell others about Jesus!
Just as Jesus came into the world so that people might come to trust in Him and be saved from their sins, Jesus has sent the church throughout the world to tell others about the salvation that can only be found in Jesus Christ.
