Living a Life Worth Living – Writings by Robin McKinley
Evangelism means preaching, announcing, or otherwise communicating the gospel, our salvation. It’s delivering the message that Jesus Christ is not only the Son of God. But also gave His life as a sacrifice for our sins. In doing so, He ensured eternal life for anyone who believes.
In Christianity, evangelism (or witnessing). Constitutes the act of preaching the gospel with the intention of sharing the message and teachings of Jesus Christ. Christian groups who encourage evangelism sometimes become known as evangelistic or evangelists.
We are told this in John 3:16. “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son. Whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” As Jesus tells us in John 14:6, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Accepting that good news and then telling others about it, so they know too, is the definition of evangelism.

The Psalmist in Psalm 50 reported that God had no complaint about the sacrifices offered by His people. He went on to say that they should make a simple sacrifice of thanks to the Lord.

In Revelation chapters 2 and 3, Jesus told John to write to 7 churches. The message to the church in Laodicea was not a pleasant one. In it, Jesus said, “I know all the things you do, and your life is neither hot nor cold.” Then He followed up with verse 16. But since you … Read more

When reading Psalm 8:10 a question immediately jumped out at me. If God delights in a heart that is true and right, how do we get it there? God is my shield, saving those whose hearts are true and right. Psalm 8:10 I love the phrase, “God is my shield.” A while back a wrote … Read more
I set a goal to write a devotion on all the “3:16s” in the New Testament. Our verse for today in Romans 3 contains only part of its context.
