THE MOST IMPORTANT THING

October 23, 2026

Since you have in obedience to the truth purified your souls for a sincere love of the brethren, fervently love one another from the heart. 1 Peter 1:22

1. GET WISE. God has appointed you to be an ambassador who is so filled with love, so aware, and so confident of eternal life that you feel desperate to get this information to other people so that they too can experience forgiveness and not go to hell.

2. BE FILLED WITH LOVE. Imagine how you would feel if you fell in the middle of traffic, and a giant bus was bearing down on you. Suddenly somebody threw you out of the way – and then that person was hit and perished. At first, you would probably feel guilty and undeserving, but then you would be so grateful. Jesus did that for us. The Rescuer came on the scene and took death and sin so we could be free.

“He who is wise wins souls.” Proverbs 11:30b

3. BE AWARE. We’ve been given a mission, but the devil uses worries and cares to get us so bogged down that we can’t see the amazing opportunities around us (Mark 4:18-20). Focus on what God has already done in you. Speak the Scriptures – God’s Word is imperishable and enduring.

4. GET CONFIDENT. God will help you prioritize, so you can fulfill your purpose. He will help you be bold and talk to people about Jesus. As you develop a sensitivity and receptivity to the Holy Spirit, you’ll be used to change someone’s life.

DEFINITION: im·por·tant, adj.

SAY THIS OUT LOUD:

“God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation” (2 Corinthians 5:19).
