Devotions on F.I.R.E. Year Twoਨਮੂਨਾ

For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified (1 Corinthians 2:2 NKJV).

How committed are you to sharing the true message?

Paul established the church in Corinth during his second missionary journey (Acts 18:1–17). Corinth was described by Homer as a wealthy but immoral city. Plato even used the term “Corinthian girl” to refer to a prostitute. Much of the city’s immorality was tied to the temple of Aphrodite and its 1,000 prostitutes.

Paul understood that only the gospel of Jesus Christ could reform such a sin-filled city. He called it “the power of God” in 1 Corinthians 2:5 and said, “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes” (Romans 1:16 NKJV).

Like Paul, I hope that you will be bold in sharing the gospel. In today’s wicked and sinful world, I pray that you tell others about the power of God's salvation!

Employment Point: Proclaim the gospel to the lost, trusting in its saving power.
