6. 1 Corinthians 3:6 Apostle Paul said, “I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow.

7. Acts 13:47 For this is what the Lord has commanded us: “I have made you a light for the Gentiles, so that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth”.

8. Mark 16:15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation”.

9. James 2:19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even demons believe that and tremble.

10. Acts 20:24 However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me - the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.

11. Why God given us all these? 1. because He take no pleasure in the death of the wicked.

12. Ezekiel 33:11 Say to them, ‘As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from evil ways! Why will you die, people of Israel!’

16. How to do these? 1. We need to undestand ourselves. We don’t need to be perfect to share the Gospel; we just need to be authentic.

17. 2 Corinthians 4:8-10 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
