4. Spiritual Growth
If holding onto our faith and not advancing it much - it will become a chore and prayer a dry routine
- Scripture reading becomes I have to read it to understand the gospel for others
- Talking to God suddenly takes on a new purpose - passionate pleas for friends
- Our desire to worship grows as your gratitude grows
- Helps maintain a high standard of purity
5. Spiritual Confidence
It is ironic that the act of preparing to show others the gospel is often the cause for us to understand it better ourselves
In the face of opposition, we gain heightened sense of spiritual confidence
Imagine what happens when one of these people becomes a Christian
6. Enduring Investments
Jesus warned his followers to not store up treasures on earth - Matthew 6:19-20
Everything will be destroyed eventually - 2 Peter 3:10-11
It is a mistake to invest so much time and energy into things that won't last
7. Honor of Being God's Agent
This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit - John 15:8
Key Phrase: It is ironic that the act of preparing to show others the gospel is often the cause for us to understand it better ourselves
