Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – Becoming Like Christ – Day 249 – Romans 10:14-15 – Those Who Bring Good News – Growing As Disciples

How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” Romans 10:14-15 (NIV)  

Good News

I could have received no better news. Tell me what Good News you received. You gave up all your rights and privileges. You came into this world to live and die for me. You were sent by your Heavenly Father to rescue me from a life without you. My sin and darkness separated me from you. In my sin, I was certain to die without and apart from you. That was intolerable to you. You could not let that happen to me. No, I could not. So, you took my sins to the cross. You suffered pain and humiliation and a painful death on my behalf. You made it so I could be righteous in God’s eyes. You made it so I could be forgiven of all my sins and cleansed of all my unrighteous. Now, when God looks at me, He sees your righteousness. I am clean in His sight. Without your payment for my sin, I would have never been able to come to live forever in heaven with you.  Now, I have been adopted into your family. I am welcomed and loved and accepted as your child. In fact, I understand that there was rejoicing in heaven on the day I came to believe in you. Yes, heaven rejoiced on that day. Now, I know that my future in heaven is kept and guarded for me. Nothing will ever be able to snatch me out of your hand. I have an eternal future in heaven with you. I know that to be true because you deposited your Holy Spirit as a guarantee. Yes, that is true. So, what better news could there be? There is no better news. I am all yours. It is now my passion and joy to love and follow and serve you with all my heart and mind and soul and strength. You are my Savior and Lord. That is very Good News. That is the best of news. Yes, it is.

What will you do with the Good News that you have received? Will you keep the Good News to yourself? Will you go out and tell others the Good News so that they also can come to believe in me as their Savior and Lord? I certainly will not keep the Good News to myself. Why is that? I want others to receive all that I have received from you. I want others to be able to come to know and love and follow you as their Savior and Lord. I want others to come to live forever in heaven with you. I want to rejoice with you and all of heaven when someone comes to know and love and follow and serve you. So, I ask that you use me. Help me to boldly share the Good News of your forgiveness and cleansing and salvation. I will gladly hear and answer that prayer of yours. I will send you. I will use you. You will declare my Good News to others. We will rejoice together when others come to believe in me as their Savior and Lord. 

Lord, here I am, send me. Use me to share the Good News of the Gospel. Open my eyes and ears to see and hear who is ready to believe in you. Show me who to make the subject of my prayers. Open my mouth, give me the words you want me to speak. Amen

Key Question… Where has the Lord sent you to make the Good News of the Gospel known to others?

Living It Out… Allow the Lord to use you to share the Good News of the Gospel with others.

Seeing It Happen… Have faith that the Lord will open up doors and give you opportunities to share the Gospel with others.

Get Ready To Share… Share with another person or your small group how the Lord has used you to lead someone to Him.

Prayer To Bless Others… May you allow the Lord to use you to share the Good News with others.

Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – Discipleship – Matthew 4:18-20 – Good News – Growing As Disciples

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? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 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 (ESV)

Your Words

How do you feel about that? How do I feel about what? How do you feel about being sent? How do I feel about being sent where? You are a little slow to grasp what I am trying to say to you. How do you feel about being sent to talk with people who do not know me? How do you feel about being one of my witnesses in the world? I thought I already was one of your witnesses in the world. Yes, you are one of my witnesses in the world. Your life does shine brightly in the world for me. How you live your life is a testimony to the work that I have done in your life. Your actions provide a firm foundation for your words. Your words are what I want to talk to you about. I’m listening.                                                                       

Somewhere, somehow, you have picked up an incorrect idea. What’s that? You have thought that how you live your life is enough of a testimony and witness for me in the world. It’s not? No, it is not. To many, your life will simply say that you are an unusually nice person. You are kind. You are considerate. You are caring. Is that all you want your life to say? You have also incorrectly thought that the way you live your life will speak enough volume that others will wonder why you are so different that they will ask you questions. You have thought that when those questions are asked, it will be your opportunity to share the Good News of the Gospel. Is what I am saying true? Yes, it is true, those have been my thoughts.  Let me ask you, how many people have come to ask you why you live your life so differently? Not many, hardly any. That’s true. 

Do you want to be a vibrant witness in the world for me? Yes, I do. Then your testimony must come from both your actions and your words. You must look for opportunities to tell others about the life of salvation that they can have in me. You must not be afraid to speak. You must be willing to share with others all that I have done for you and will do for them. Did someone tell you about the Good News of the Gospel? Yes, they did. Did they speak to you only though their kind, considerate and caring actions? No, they did not. Their words told me why they had so much faith and hope and love in them. They told me how you became their Savior and Lord. They told me how they received your forgiveness and cleansing. They told me how they came to love, follow and serve you. Yes, they did. Will you use your words to tell others about the life of salvation they can have in me? Yes Lord, I will. That will be very good.

Lord, thank you for sending people into my life to talk to me about the Good News of the Gospel. Without others telling me about the new life I could have in you, I would be lost and without hope. Use me to talk to others about the new life they can have in you. Amen
