Taking the Gospel to the World

We read in the Scriptures that we, as followers of Jesus Christ, are the salt of the earth and the light of the world in preserving the word of God and in sharing the truth of the gospel of our salvation with the people of the world. We, as disciples of the Lord Jesus, are to go and to make disciples of Christ of people of all nations, baptizing them, and teaching them to obey all that our Lord has commanded us that we should do as his followers. And we are to be the Lord’s witnesses locally and also to the ends of the earth.

As those who believe in Jesus Christ with God-gifted faith in him, we are now his chosen race, his holy nation, a people for his own possession, that we may proclaim the excellencies of him who called us out of darkness (sin) into his marvelous light – the light (the truth) of the gospel of our salvation, which is freedom from addiction to sin and empowerment of God to now live holy lives, pleasing to God, in walks of obedience to our Lord, and no longer in walks of deliberate and habitual sin against the Lord, to the glory of God.

[Matthew 5:13-16; Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; 1 Peter 2:9,24; Acts 26:18; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; John 10:27-30; Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23; Galatians 5:16-21; Ephesians 4:17-24; Titus 2:11-14]

All of us who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of our lives, in truth and in righteousness, are to be those who are sharing the message of the gospel of our salvation with the people of the whole world. Not all of us are called to do this as our full-time assignment from the Lord, but we are all to be doing this in daily practice. And right now, at least here in America, the internet is wide open for us to be sharing the gospel with people of many different nations. And that opportunity will not be there forever.

And with so many Christians on the internet on social media sites, we should all be sharing the truth of the gospel on these sites. For the people of the world need to hear the gospel message, but the full uncut gospel message and not the diluted and altered gospel message which so many are spreading today to the people of the world. For Jesus died on that cross to put our sins to death with him so we will deny self, die daily to sin, and follow him in walks of obedience to his commands in holy living.

And then, and then only do we have genuine forgiveness of sins and the hope of eternal life with God. For our salvation from sin is not a one-time decision we make in our lives and now we are good to go for eternity regardless of how we live. We must walk in the salvation that our Lord provided for us in walks of obedience to our Lord, and in surrender to his will for our lives, and in the forsaking of our sins, and in holy living. For if sin is what we obey, it leads to death, and we will not have eternal life with God.

Because so many people today are teaching lies, and so many people are believing the lies and are rejecting the truth, God has called some people, I don’t know how many, to refute the lies of the enemy and to proclaim the truth of the gospel to the people of the world on the internet. For me, this is my fulltime assignment from the Lord to be a world missionary, basically, in daily proclaiming the truth of the Scriptures and the gospel message on the internet, to the best of my understanding, by God’s grace, in his power.

And these writings, which are being directed by the Holy Spirit, are going out via the internet to people of many different nations. My calling of God is just to write down what he teaches me each day from my times spent with him in his word and to post these writings on the internet so that a “runner” could “Run With It.” And it is the Lord who takes these writings where he wants them to go, so all the glory for anything good that is accomplished through my obedience to the Lord belongs to the Lord and not to me.

Run With It Daily Statistics

Now the following is a list of countries where people are viewing and/or reading the writings that the Lord gives to me to post on the internet daily. These statistics are compiled only from 7/27/24 to 8/15/24. And they are taken only from my three blogs. This does not include the seven other internet locations where these daily devotions, songs, poems, memes, and video talks are being shared and viewed, for I have no access to those statistics. But this is to give you a general picture of where these daily posts are being viewed and read by people of many different nations.

Albania, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Egypt, Ethiopia, France, Germany, Ghana, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Jordan, Kenya, Kuwait, Mauritius, Nepal, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Philippines, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, Uganda, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Vietnam, and Other (84 unnamed)

But we need more followers of Christ sharing the truth of the gospel on the internet so that many more nations and people may be reached with the good news of the gospel of our salvation before the end comes. For we are living in the last days before the return of Christ, and we are living in modern day Sodom and Gomorrah on this earth, which is like the days of Noah before God sent the flood to destroy the people of the world. Please then be one who is sharing the gospel of Christ with the people of the world.

We’ve a Story to Tell to the Nations

By H. Ernest Nichol, 1896

We've a story to tell to the nations,

that shall turn their hearts to the right,

a story of truth and mercy,

a story of peace and light,

a story of peace and light.

We've a song to be sung to the nations,

that shall lift their hearts to the Lord,

a song that shall conquer evil

and shatter the spear and sword,

and shatter the spear and sword. 

We've a message to give to the nations,

that the Lord who reigneth above

has sent us His Son to save us,

and show us that God is love,

and show us that God is love. 

We've a Savior to show to the nations,

who the path of sorrow has trod,

that all of the world's great peoples

may come to the truth of God,

may come to the truth of God. 

For the darkness shall turn to dawning,

and the dawning to noonday bright,

and Christ's great kingdom shall come on earth,

the kingdom of love and light.
