Tag: Today in the Word

Those who are created in God’s image, redeemed by God’s Son, and destined for an eternity in God’s presence find our highest joy in multiplying God’s praises.

As evangelists, we must plainly acknowledge our own humble position as people in need of God’s mercy.

Make the invitation of Peter your own: “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins” (Acts 2:38).

Sinners are the objects of His wrath, but God loves them and has mercy on them. Sinners are dead in their rebellion, but God raises them up and makes them alive.

Our sin is rebellion against God’s holiness, and it alienates us from God. Sinful people cannot have a relationship with a holy God.

In today’s reading, we see that evangelism is the work of reconciling people to God. Paul begins his explanation by defending his work—probably against the accusations of his critics.

We need bold evangelists. Our confidence lies, as we saw yesterday, in the truth and power of the message we proclaim. It also comes from the Spirit who gives the Word its power.

The goal of evangelism is the glory of God. When sinners trust in Christ, He is honored and lifted high. We need to set our hearts on this ultimate goal.
