EPHESIANS 2:8
Believers are the trophies of Christ's victory.
Salvation is not of works. It is the pure gift of God to man. When you got born again, one of the discoveries is that others can also receive what you have.
God has given us a ministry of reconciliation. As a born again child of God, your lifestyle must bring people to God.
The scripture in 2 Corinthians 2:14 says, "Now be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and make the manifest the savior of his knowledge by us in every place".
The word 'triumph' means a prove of victory or a triumph of victory. Believers in Christ are the trophies of Christ's victory. We are the demonstration of the victory of Jesus. What is victory?
The victory is that Christ has destroyed him that had the power of death which is the devil .
(Hebrews 2:14; Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
So, our victory is in Christ( Romans 8:37;
I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
The victory we have as believers in Christ is not because we fought for it, but Christ fought for it and delivered the victory to us. The gospel is not for everybody.
There is no special qualifications to preach the gospel. You were not born again in vain. We are vessels for God's use. Salvation comes with responsibility.
Jesus Christ has done everything in the context of fulfilling the scripture and it is not the responsibility of believers to make known the knowledge of Christ unto the world.
Mark 16:15 says; And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Believers are the evidence of the finished work if Christ on the cross. We have been reconciled to God and are therefore now ministers of reconciliation.
The knowledge of who you are in Christ has become a message to the world. Now that you are in Christ, you should be able to share that faith to others.
The gospel is the story of Jesus Christ told to us by the holy ghost. So, in sharing your faith, you need the baptism of the holy ghost for it is the seal of your salvation.
Preach the gospel with boldness to everyone.
Salvation comes with responsibility.
