“Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus” – Acts 3:19-20
The invitation of Jesus really is this simple! The grace of God really is this good! Repent of your sins. Turn to God through faith in Jesus as your Lord. When you do, all your sins are forgiven. Then you can enjoy endless refreshing from the Lord’s presence and power in your life and heart. Hopefully you’ve already accepted this deal, trusting your life to Lord Jesus. If you haven’t, please do it right now!
If you’ve done it and Jesus is your Lord and you’re forgiven and refreshed in Him, then ask yourself…. Who in my life needs to grab ahold of this deal? Who needs to hear this offer and accept it for themselves? Surely someone you know, love, care about, work with, or play with needs to hear this invitation and experience God’s amazing grace. Who is it?
Once you know, pray for them and tell them what God is offering them in Christ. If you think you couldn’t possibly be the person to tell them this good news, consider just how simple the invitation really is. You don’t need to be a theologian. You don’t need to be an expert. You just need to be able to share this invitation with no particular sophistication (thought with the help of the Holy Spirit). Share this invitation and perhaps God will give you the privilege of seeing forgiveness and refreshing wash across someone you care about. There’s no greater privilege than that! #FollowJesus
