Evangelism | a 4-Day Skate Church Movement DevotionalNäide

What is evangelism?

“In that wonderful day you will sing, ‘Thank the Lord! Praise His name! Tell the nations what He has done. Let them know how mighty He is!” Isaiah 12:4

How many times have you landed a new trick, and the first thing you do is either tell someone or post it on Instagram? This is normal for us all to do because we love skateboarding and we want to tell people about the thing we love. We want to share where this thing has taken us and what it has done for us.

Telling people about something you love is what evangelism is all about. In Isaiah 12:4, it says, “In that wonderful day you will sing: ‘Thank the Lord! Praise his name! Tell the nations what he has done. Let them know how mighty he is!” When we have a relationship with God, turn our life over to Him, and personally witness what He can do, we can’t help but want to share it with everyone. Just like sharing that new trick you just learned, you should want to share about God’s love with everyone. You should be so excited about it that you are yelling it from the rooftops, or maybe do today’s equivalent instead and post it on Instagram!

Take a moment and ask yourself if you’ve ever shared your faith with any of your friends or family. Remember, there was a time when someone shared the Good News of Jesus with you, and that is why you believe today! It can be scary or uncomfortable to share your faith in Jesus with others, but isn’t it worth it?

Romans 1:16 says, “For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes– the Jew first and also the Gentile.” How encouraging it is to know that salvation is a gift for everyone who believes!

Let us live lives that are unashamed of the Good News of Jesus saving us from our sins. If we are bold and unashamed, then we can share the Good News of Jesus with others. The next time you land something new and get all excited about it, ask yourself this: Do I have that same excitement about sharing God’s love with all those I come in contact with? Then get out there and boldly proclaim His name to all!
