Are you one who boldly proclaims God’s good news or do you keep your
faith hidden so that most folk don’t know that you are a Christian? The apostle
Paul is not ashamed of the gospel – see Romans 1:16-17. He knows that it is a
story that needs to be told.
In many parts of the church we tend to say and think that evangelism is
not our thing. But how can it not be our thing? We are called to be God’s
people and that means letting the gospel leak out of us so that it contaminates
those around us. That means finding ways of being a church that is relevant to
the context in which it is set. Things change. They need to. We need to find
ways of communicating the gospel in a changing context – and that is most
likely to happen when we remember ouir reliance on God. In all of things, let
us remember, with Paul the apostle, that it is our faith which sustains
us. The righteousness of faith is
revealed through faith for faith.
