We need to be bold, strong and deep in our faith. The world needs to know. People need to know. We must grow bold in telling others about Jesus. No one knows the day of their death. No more time to wait.
26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you." John 14:26
We all are called to preach the gospel -- not just preachers.
19 When they deliver you over, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say, for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour. 20 For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you." Matthew 10:19-20
It's okay to be nervous and not sure what to say -- let the Holy Spirit guide you. He will tell you what to say. He will speak through you.
Are you bold enough?
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek." Romans 1:16
"14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard?[a] And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” Romans 10:14-15
Be strong in your faith!
"13 Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong." 1 Corinthians 16:13
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us," Hebrews 12:1
"The wicked flee when no one pursues,
but the righteous are bold as a lion." Proverbs 28:1
Have a deep faith!
"12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart." Hebrews 4:12
"16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God[a] may be complete, equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16-17
Depth comes from reading and testing
"11 Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so." Acts 17:11
"21 And Jesus answered them, “Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen. 22 And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.”" Matthew 21:21-22
Depth comes from Abiding
"7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you." John 15:7
Abiding = home -- where you live, where you dwell
63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life." John 6:63
