3. Be the opportunity.
If how you’re living contradicts what you’re saying, no one will believe a word you say. Live the Gospel out. Love people. Show grace to people. And then, your words will mean something. I had coffee recently with a friend who comes from an atheist background. She is so interested in Jesus and what he’s all about. But here’s a problem she had with Christianity: “So many Christians I know say they’re good people, but it is SO obvious they’re not.” Christians are the ones turning her off to Jesus. If we’re not living like Jesus, then we shouldn’t bother sharing Jesus with others, because we’re just a joke. We’ve got to BE the opportunity. We’ve got to be a living example of the Gospel. We’ve got to show grace to others because of the insane amount of grace we’ve been shown. We have the ability to turn this world upside down with the grace of God. We know the answer to the world’s problem. It’s the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We can’t go silent. We can’t make it about anything other than Jesus. And we HAVE to live it out.
