Share the Truth

“But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated. When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some were doubtful. And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, ‘All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.’” Matthew 28:16-20

Many in the church today have come to the place of accepting an idea which is half-truth and which leads to error. It is the idea that we are to concentrate on knowing the truth. We are obsessed with the idea that we must hold the right view on every issue and we must spend every energy in defending the “right” belief.

Now it is extremely important to know the truth and be accurate in our study and interpretation of the Bible. Yet how much do we lack by ignoring our desperate need for the exhibition of the power of God as a result of that truth being shared with the lost?

To know the truth is only a part of the whole story. The other part is to share that truth - expecting, anticipating, trusting the Holy Spirit to supernaturally move in the hearts of those who hear and reveal His power by transforming the lives of those who are dead in their trespasses and sins. A spiritual work must be done through the power and unction of the Holy Spirit of God. In all you do to share the truth, make sure it is carried to a listening ear prepared by the presence of the Holy Spirit.

The nearer we get to the Spirit of Christ, the more intensely missionary we become.
