Living the Gospel

Believing that God exists, that He is greater than we are is knowing that He loves us. It is to accept that everything we have received flows from His love. It is to recognize that no matter our success, our wealth, or our fame, we can do nothing on our own and much of what we chase after is nothing more than chasing the wind. These are great challenges! They are the very struggles the Lord spoke of when He said, “‘If you wish to be perfect, go, sell your possessions, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.’ When the young man heard this word, he went away grieving, for he had many possessions.” (Matthew 19:21–22)

The Gospel is Meant to Be Shared

Every morning, I ask myself, “How am I going to live the Gospel today?” Over time, I have come to appreciate the Gospel and to understand that I do not simply live the Gospel for myself alone. To live the Gospel is to carry the message of Jesus’ love in such a way that it can be given away. The Gospel is not something to be held tightly by one person; it is meant to be shared by all.
