Devotional
If someone were to approach you today and asked you, "Why should I become a Christian?" would you be ready to answer according to God’s word? Could you explain to them what it means to be a Christian? Do you understand why Jesus died on the cross? There are many scriptures to be studied, understood and even preached in the word of God. However, the basic foundation that Jesus is the son of God, he came to this earth, died on the cross and rose again, to pay the price for your sins so you would not have to go to hell, is the simple truth of the gospel. Having an understanding of this truth and being able to share that with others is very important for everyone, not just those in full time ministry. If you need help in understanding this truth or knowing how to share it with others, perhaps a close friend, youth pastor or parent could help you understand how to explain what Jesus has done for you. Our scripture says to be ready in season and out of season. There are friends who are waiting for you to share your hope in Jesus with them, be ready to do so!
