00:00God is patiently waiting for the gospel to reach the ends of the earth so that people
00:10everywhere may have a chance to repent. He wants everyone to have the opportunity to hear the good
00:16news that Jesus came to rescue them. Every last person on planet earth was created in the image
00:22of God, to know his love. And 1 Timothy 2 verses 3-6 says, For this is good and acceptable in the
00:31sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
00:37For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself a
00:44ransom for all. Jesus offers life to everyone, to experience the grace, joy, and peace that comes
00:52from a restored relationship with him. His compassion does not leave anyone out, and no one is beyond
00:59the reach of his love. His forgiveness and cleansing are offered to all who are willing to believe in
01:06him. We cannot keep this good news to ourselves. 2 Peter 3 verse 9 says, The Lord isn't really being
01:14slow about his promises, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want
01:22anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent. That's right, Christ is being patient in
01:28his return to earth for our sake, so that we can have more time to share the good news. We can start
01:35today. Spreading the gospel doesn't require fancy speech, just a simple and joyful proclamation of what
01:42God has already done in your life. This is how the gospel will reach all the world, as God's spirit
01:49works through one person at a time. But I know. Telling others about Jesus can feel awkward.
01:56It's easy to get nervous and think that no one really wants to hear about your great experience
02:01with God. And that's so common, but the truth is, people are longing for the peace, the love,
02:08and fulfillment that God offers. People are more ready to receive him than you may think.
02:13Sharing simply, from the heart, trust the Holy Spirit to speak for you, and don't let nervousness stop you.
