preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ at all times and it is necessary to use words because faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of Christ and how will people hear if there is no one speaking to them from God's Word?The Bible says it is the it is God-breathed and God is truth which makes the Bible true.2 Timothy 314 But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.These verses say that because of the Holy Scriptures, the Bible we have knowledge that makes us wise unto how we can be saved from our sins, which is why Ephesians 2 is so helpfulEphesians 24 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.With this known how are we able to spread the Gospel? Acts 1:8 shows how the apostles where able to do that very thing and it is applicable to us today as well.Acts 1:88 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me[a] in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”Jesus Christ is God and many verses explain why we need to put our faith in Christ and here are some of them.John 1The Eternal Word1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.John 14:66 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.Romans 108 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”[e](that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”[f] 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”[g]What does God call for us to do now that we know this? Here is the answer:Matthew 2819 Go therefore[c] and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.[d]This has been a quick word from the Bible,Mark Cannon
