Way, Truth, and Life

John 14:6
"Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except through Me."

So this week I led Bible Study in Seekers and it was such a blessing but also God willing. It was supposed to be about Christianity vs Catholicism but I thought there were more important things to talk about. Instead of trying to get them to realize the difference between these two, I decided to question them about their own faith. I was really shocked by the answers my group members gave me... I was disappointed greatly... They really did not know what Christianity was all about.
I thought to myself, "How can I try telling the differences between Christianity and Catholicism if they don't even know the foundation of their own faith?" I asked them, "What is the most important thing to know as a Christian? How do we know we are saved?" None of them knew the answer... Some of them said, "Because we believe in God." I told them that it was the very Gospel! The sad truth is, none of them even knew what the Gospel was... So I had to explain what the Gospel was and why we believe in it.
Doesn't this tell us anything about our own Seekers guys? I am not trying to criticize them in any way and I am not trying to be mean but WE HAVE TO WAKE UP! If our own Seekers does not know our own faith, what does that tell us about their own walk with Christ? It shows a lack of reading the Word and praying to God. It tells me a lot of them are coming to Seekers to socialize and that is a dangerous thing!
I want us all to make sure that our own Seekers members know what the Gospel is because if we don't, there is no way for our school to be changed. We have to know and let others know that we are sinners headed to hell because God hates sin but God in His great love and mercy, sent His one and only Son to die on the Cross for our sins and resurrected on the third day! HE SAVED US. WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT GRACE IS! WHAT LOVE IS! Without the Cross of Jesus Christ, we would all be heading to hell right now, there would be no Seekers, there would be no Christianity, there would be no hope!
We have to thank God for opening our eyes to the truth of the Cross of Christ. Guys, let's wake up and make sure our own Seekers knows what the Gospel is, know what Christianity is all about because if we don't, our school will not be changed.
Goal: Make sure all your Seekers members know what Christianity is all about - the Gospel, and motivate them to read the word, pray, and evangelize through the power of the Holy Spirit.
