People
can’t give their lives to Jesus if they don’t believe in Him. They can’t
believe in Him if they aren’t told. How will they hear if you don’t tell them?
(Romans 10:14)
Do your people know that Jesus is the reason
for, and the source of, your vision and values? Have you told them your story
that gives context and help to them in understanding why your life and work are
so wholly devoted to the Lord? It is important that you do so.
Paul explains in the preceding part of this
letter, that many have a form of religion that seeks to please God. Their lists
of rules and series of rituals and sacrifices may give these people a sense of
comfort. The projects they have designed to win God’s favor may be expensive
and far-reaching. However, it is only by fully entrusting every part of their
lives to Jesus that they will find meaning and purpose in life. It is the
reality of your story, the one which has motivated you to seek the Lord’s
vision, that can give your people hope to dare to believe they can do this as
well.
Have your people heard about the real,
powerful life in Christ that is available to believers? Tell them about Jesus. Tell
them about that life.
