Praying the Gospel (1 Timothy 2:1-4) By Jennifer Waddle Today's Bible Verse - "I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth." 1 Timothy 2:1-4 Sharing the Gospel is something all Christians are encouraged to do, as people are in great need of the Savior. But what about praying the Gospel? Have you ever considered praying the Scriptures that clearly portray who Jesus is and what He came to do? The benefits of praying the Gospel are many, but here are three ways it can impact your life and the lives around you: 1. Praying the Gospel will equip you to share it. If you were asked to sum up the Gospel in a few sentences, how would you describe it? Often, we are reluctant to share the Good News because we don't know how to articulate it. By praying the Gospel, you will equip your heart and mind to be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks. And, as God provides opportunity, you'll feel confident in sharing the best news ever.
I encourage you to write out the Gospel in your own words and find key Scriptures to memorize and have on hand. This exercise will help you pinpoint the Gospel message and be able to communicate it effectively at any time. 2. Your Gospel influence is your greatest influence. |
