The Scriptures are clear that we are all born spiritually lost, poor and without hope, but through Jesus we can be given new life.
But how often do we stop and stand in awe of the change that we have experienced? Or, to go a step further, how often do we share our story of redemption with others in the hope that they will see their own need for salvation and believe?
Colossians is a letter about Christ and His work of changing people. Paul dealt thoroughly with the redemption of believers in the first three chapters, but as he moves toward his conclusion, he encourages the reader to consider their own responsibility in sharing the Good News. In this short paragraph Paul speaks to three areas of life that we must consider if we are serious about sharing the Gospel:The way we pray, the way we live and the way we speak.
