The Christian life is a gift from God, but to share the gospel with others is to allow them (family and friends) to enjoy the same gift that we have! These short segments will allow you to focus on one aspect of God and His Word (or gospel, also known as the Bible). Sometimes we feel reluctant to share with others because we are not sure what to say or we might feel timid about it. Jesus was clear about this but also provided some solace:
“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” (Matthew 28:19-20).
The goal of these segments is to present one of them with someone you know to begin a conversation. This is a good start for sharing the gospel with someone you know.

The apostle Paul wrote to the Thessalonians, “And we also
The sixty-six books in the Word of God were written by forty writers over a span of 2000 years. They are sectioned into the Old and New Testaments. The Old Testament is comprised of thirty-nine books and the New Testament has twenty-seven. The Old Testament is sometimes referred to as Hebrew Scripture, since it records the events taken place in what was and still is Israel. The Israelites were also known as the Hebrews. Scripture
How then do we define God’s will? God’s will is embodied in the concept of love. God could have created the universe, and then reclined from any intervention in the doings of humanity. That is certainly within His right because He is God. However, God did choose to intervene out of love. First, He wanted to identify Himself as the Creator, the One who deserves the credit for His creation. Our response should be an
The Word of God is the truly inspired message that God brought to us through human writers. The apostle Peter further proclaimed: “For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit” (2 Peter 1:20-21).
