BAREFOOT CHRISTIANITY

2 Timothy 3:5 having a form of godliness but denying its power.

Fight the good fight, run the race, stay the course, keep the faith.

These are biblical expectations for all of God’s children who are in a right relationship with Jesus Christ our King. If we are in the fight for souls running for Jesus on the narrow difficult road that leads to heaven; we better have a good pair of shoes to wear on our spiritual journey. The Word of God says, “For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared” (Ephesians 6:15 NLT) To be fully prepared we must know the good news of the gospel well enough to put it on by sharing it where ever we go as we live our life for Christ. Too many of us are crippled and limping around ineffective for Jesus because we are not running the course of the soul-winner. If you do not know the gospel well enough to share it how can you know the good news well enough to be aware of its power? (Romans 1:16) If the message of the cross is the power of God to those of us who are being saved; (1 Corinthians 1:16) why do so few of us believe in its power enough to put on the gospel shoes of preparation and share it? The truth is we are marching into the battle for souls barefooted and unprepared for the mission. If you can not share the gospel you are one of the poorest of all Christians. You don’t even have a pair of shoes! If someone came to church each Sunday barefooted because he was to poor to buy a pair of shoes we would all take action to give them a pair of shoes to wear. The truth is many of us in the church come every Sunday spiritually barefooted and don’t even know it. Christ has clothed us with the armor of God, so put on your shoes and get in the fight. TELL SOMEONE ABOUT THE GOOD NEWS of JESUS CHRIST!
