Gospel ambers: Engage, don't enrage

This is why I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift Godgave you when I laid my hands on you. For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. So never be ashamed to tell others about our Lord... With the strength God gives you, be ready to suffer with me for the sake of the Good News.

For God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was his plan from before the beginning of time—to show us his grace through Christ Jesus. And now he has made all of this plain to us by the appearing of Christ Jesus, our Savior.

He broke the power of death and illuminated the way to life and immortality through the Good News.... I am not ashamed of it, for I know the one in whom I trust, and I am sure that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until the day of his return.

Hold on to the pattern of wholesome teaching you learned from me—a pattern shaped by the faith and love that you have in Christ Jesus. Through the power of the Holy Spirit who lives within us, carefully guard the precious truth that has been entrusted to you.
2 Timothy 1:6‭-‬14 NLT

Ask, admire, admit
- Ask to understand, really listen, get to know, care
- Admire what you can, find common ground
- Admit what you've struggled with and how God changed you

God created us to be with him (Gen 1-2)
- picture of intimacy
Our sins separated us from God
Sins can't be removed by good deeds
Paying a price for sin, Jesus died for our sins and rose again
Everyone who trust in Jesus has
Life, starts now and last forever

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?

ANYTHING HOLDING YOU BACK FROM TRUSTING IN JESUS RIGHT NOW?
