Where Are We Told to Go and Tell the Good News?
There are many verses in the Bible that direct us to go and tell the Good News that Jesus is “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6, NKJV). Here is a selection of verses and some practical examples.
First John 3:17-18 says, “But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth” (NKJV).
At GFA World, we take these verses to heart. God calls us to not love in word only, but also in deed and truth. For us, this means supplying the hungry with food and giving clothes to those who need them. We provide clean water for those who are forced to walk miles to collect it. We share the hope of Jesus with those who haven’t heard. These are the ways we show that God’s love abides in us.
Matthew 28:19-20 says, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
At GFA, we are committed to sharing Christ’s Good Nes to the people of all nations. We concentrate on Africa and Asia because the need is the greatest. Many of the areas where we work are inside the 10/40 window, a place where millions have not yet heard the Good News.
John 13:34-35 says, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
At GFA, we understand that love for others is a cornerstone of obedience to God. Love is a powerful sign of one’s faith.
Our founder, K.P. Yohannan, said, “The most effective way for people to understand the [Good News] is through relationship. ‘Love one another’ is the greatest of all mysteries that ushers in God’s kingdom.”[1]
How are you practically showing the love of God as you share the Good News? We invite you to join us in our mission to love the “least of these.”
