WHY & ABOUT

BECAUSE I LOVE YOU AND WANT YOU TO KNOW THE DEPTHS OF GOD'S LOVE FOR YOU

Acts 4:20 (AMP)
“…we, on our part, cannot stop telling [people] about what we have seen and heard.”

John 3:16
God so loved (you and) the world, He gave his only (not created but) born of God/one of a kind Son, that whoever believes/puts their trust in/has faith in His Son would not spiritually die or be destroyed, but have eternal life [in relationship with God]. For God sent His Son in the world, not to condemn/damn/punish it, but that (you and) the world might be saved through Jesus Christ.”

1 Peter 4:11 (NKJV)
“…above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.” Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.”

Philippians 1:9-11 (AMPC)
“And this I pray: that your love may abound yet more and more and extend to its fullest development in knowledge and all keen insight [that your love may display itself in greater depth of acquaintance and more comprehensive discernment], So that you may surely learn to sense what is vital, and approve and prize what is excellent and of real value [recognizing the highest and the best, and distinguishing the moral differences], and that you may be untainted and pure and unerring and blameless [so that with hearts sincere and certain and unsullied, you may approach] the day of Christ [not stumbling nor causing others to stumble]. May you abound in and be filled with the fruits of righteousness (of right standing with God and right doing) which come through Jesus Christ (the Anointed One), to the honor and praise of God [that His glory may be both manifested and recognized].”

BECAUSE IT’S MY RESPONSIBILITY (AND JOY)

2 Timothy 4:2-5 (AMP)
“…preach the word [as an official messenger]; be ready when the time is right and even when it is not [keep your sense of urgency, whether the opportunity seems favorable or unfavorable, whether convenient or inconvenient, whether welcome or unwelcome]; correct [those who err in doctrine or behavior], warn [those who sin], exhort and encourage [those who are growing toward spiritual maturity], with inexhaustible patience and [faithful] teaching. For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine and accurate instruction [that challenges them with God’s truth]; but wanting to have their ears tickled [with something pleasing], they will accumulate for themselves [many] teachers [one after another, chosen] to satisfy their own desires and to support the errors they hold, and will turn their ears away from the truth and will wander off into myths and man-made fictions [and will accept the unacceptable]. But as for you, be clear-headed in every situation [stay calm and cool and steady], endure every hardship [without flinching], do the work of an evangelist, fulfill [the duties of] your ministry.”

2 Corinthians 11:6 (NKJV)
“Even though I am untrained in speech, yet I am not in knowledge. But we have been thoroughly manifested [declared, made known and apparent] among you in all things.”

Acts 20:27 (AMP)
“…I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole purpose and plan of God.”

1 Peter 2:11-12 (AMP)
“Keep your behavior excellent among the [unsaved] Gentiles [conduct yourself honorably, with graciousness and integrity], so that for whatever reason they may slander you as evildoers, yet by observing your good deeds they may [instead come to] glorify God in the day of visitation [when He looks upon them with mercy].”

Proverbs 11:30b (NKJV)
… he who wins souls is wise.

BECAUSE I HATE EVIL AND INJUSTICE AND WANT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT

Romans 12:5-9 (AMP)
“…we, who are many, are [nevertheless just] one body in Christ, and individually [we are] parts one of another [mutually dependent on each other]. Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to use them accordingly: if [someone has the gift of] prophecy, [let him speak a new message from God to His people] in proportion to the faith possessed; if service, in the act of serving; or he who teaches, in the act of teaching; or he who encourages, in the act of encouragement; he who gives, with generosity; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy [in caring for others], with cheerfulness. Love is to be sincere and active [the real thing—without guile and hypocrisy]. Hate what is evil [detest all ungodliness, do not tolerate wickedness]; hold on tightly to what is good.”

Isaiah 1:17 (NKJV)
“Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor [ruthless/violent]; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow.”

BECAUSE I BELIEVE HE’LL CONTINUE TO COUNSEL ME ON HOW TO SHARE HIM WITH YOU

Psalm 71:18 (AMPC)
“Yes, even when I am old and gray-headed, O God, forsake me not, [but keep me alive] until I have declared Your mighty strength to [this] generation, and Your might and power to all that are to come.”

Psalm 25:14 (AMP)
“The secret [of the wise counsel] of the Lord is for those who fear Him, And He will let them know His covenant and reveal to them [through His word] its [deep, inner] meaning.”

Psalm 32:8 (AMPC)
I [the Lord] will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you.

BECAUSE I LOVE JESUS

Matthew 22:37
I love The Lord with all my heart, soul, and mind.

1 John 4:19 (NKJV)
I LOVE Him because He first loved me.

1 John 4:12-17 (NKJV)
“No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.”
