I John 5:13
"These things have I written unto you that believe on
the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and
that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."
In our modern day of technological advancements, we have
lost a great deal of how to communicate on a personal level with others. I
believe one of those areas is in how and when we present the Gospel to others.
We have come a custom to writing short text or one line
messages. Even the email is not used as frequent as it was just a short time
ago. We post quotes and even scripture at times on social media. But how many
of us text or post the Gospel of our Lord and Savior?
In our text verse above, we read where the Apostle John
tells his readers that he is writing to them of the Son of God. Like the other
letters by other writers in the New Testament, John writes of the Gospel of
Christ in every letter. These men took the time to write about the Gospel,
knowing there would be those who were not saved that would hear these letters
read or would read them for themselves. They also knew that God's people needed
reminding of the Gospel that is so precious to us. Fore without that Gospel we
are nothing.
Today we are so preoccupied with movies and sports and
recipes and with whatever cute thing our children or pets are doing we have
forgotten the Great Commission our Lord gave to His Church. We have forsaken
the very Gospel in which lies our greatest and only true hope.
O child of God, take time to write of the Son of God. Take
the time to share His Gospel with your friends and family. Be not afraid or
ashamed to post of Him and His Gospel on social media. Praise His name and give
Him the glory for all so others might see and hear that He is gracious.
Praise ye the Lord!!!
