Checkpoint 5


Checkpoint number 5: Do I fight for lost people using the Good News?

You are not a Christian merely for your own sake.

You have a mission – a very noble mission.

You are called to defeat the evil that holds your unconverted family and friends and neighbours captive to sin.

You must aim to have a life that advertises the good news of Jesus Christ. You welcome undecided people and struggling Christians to come and learn with us what Christ can do.

Matthew 28. Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

(Acts 20.35). In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'

And outside the church you aren’t ashamed to speak up about Jesus to anyone who will listen.

You pray for those who are taking the gospel to other places and support them as you are able.
