Matthew 28:19-20
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
As a child of God, your world is your mission field and you must be involved in reaching your world of influence; wherever you find yourself either geographically or by vocation (what you do; your job). For instance, if you are a student, your campus is your mission field or harvest field. Let the following be your statement of commitment to the work of the ministry as you work to bring in the harvest; let these be part of your daily cogitation:
1. I am convinced that God’s the gospel is God’s only saving power
Romans 1:16-17
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
2. The gospel is the answer to all human problems.
The word salvation is from the Greek word Soteria. It literally means solution to all human concerns. It means preservation, safety, abundance, deliverance, protection, health, peace, etc.
Romans 10:9-10
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
3. The gospel is committed to my trust.
1 Timothy 1:11-12
According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust. And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
You must realize that the gospel has been committed to your trust and therefore respond accordingly.
4. I am delicately committed to the gospel.
It is not enough that the gospel is committed to you, you must be committed to osprey dedicatedly. That’s what elicits a positive and spirited response from you in the furtherance of the gospel through your personal efforts.
Galatians 1:15-16
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace, To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
5. I am convinced that Jesus Christ is the only way
John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Acts 4:12
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Sometimes, Christian respond to the preaching of the gospel as though there were another way for salvation. But the Master told us that there is no other way! This should encourage you as an individual to do more for the Lord. Never assume that others are doing it. You may be surprised that that’s not the case. May God trust you to carry out His work diligently. Your conviction of these truths will perpetually set you buoyed for communicating the message of salvation to the ends of the earth, beginning from where you are. Glory!
