TRUTH: A genuine Christian will be excited to share the love of Jesus with others!

Passion to share God’s love exists when…

1. We taste it for ourselves
Acts 18:25 :: He had been instructed in the way of the Lord. And being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John.
Psalms 34:8 :: Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!

2. We speak out about it
Acts 18:26 :: He began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
Luke 8:39 :: “Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you.” And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.

3. We serve others in need of it
Acts 18:27 :: And when he wished to cross to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. When he arrived, he greatly helped those who through grace had believed,
1 Peter 4:10 :: As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace

4. We boldly champion it
Acts 18:28 :: for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, showing by the Scriptures that the Christ was Jesus.
Ephesians 6:19 :: and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel

What does this mean for me?
1. My actions demonstrate to a degree my own understanding of the depth of God’s love for me!
2. As I grow in God’s love, my level of passion to share it will also grow
