Why do we share the Gospel of Jesus Christ? What is our motivation? Have you ever considered, beyond simple obedience to the "Great Commission" Jesus gave us in Matthew 28, why we should be motivated to share our faith? Some would answer that we should be motivated because those who have not received Christ by faith will go to hell if they do not accept Him before they die. Without question this is great motivation for sharing our faith! But there is an even higher motivation for our obedience to God in this matter...
We share our faith with those who are separated from God because God deserves praise, worship, honor, love and devotion from their lips! God created their mouth, gave them life, preserves their life and died on the Cross to offer them salvation from sin; God deserves their life, love and praise! Love of God motivates us to see others love Him too! There can be no greater motivation to share our faith than our love for Almighty God!
James
