In almost every field, you can feel an atmosphere of unbelief. Many believers wander spiritually within this atmosphere and eventually get discouraged. Establishing the kingdom of God in the field of unbelief is the commission of the evangelist. Then, what kind of lifestyle should we prepare?
1. Experience of the Word
God gave us the Gospel by His grace. The answer that follows is the experience of the power of the Gospel. When the Israelites realized the mystery of the blood sacrificeExodus 3:18 they experienced the power of the Gospel through the exodus, and when they realized Immanuel Isaiah 7:14 and the covenant that Jesus is the ChristMatthew 16:16 they experienced the power of the Gospel in which the Word was fulfilled through their exodus from Babylon and Rome. When we experience the power of the Gospel through the Word, we can reach the spiritual top and receive the blessings of the spiritual summit.
2. Leave behind eternal footprints
When you reach the spiritual top, you will leave behind eternal footprints for the kingdom of God instead of the things of the world that are temporary and fleeting. You will leave footprints of faith like the people of faith in Hebrews 11, footprints of prayer for the kingdom of God like the believers of the Early Church,Acts 1:14 and footprints of the evangelist like the workers of Romans 16. You will also receive the blessing of enjoying the answer of the kingdom of God eternally wherever you go.
3. Prepare to stand on the last day
Jesus said that the end would come only after the Gospel is testified to all nations. A person who has accurately experienced the kingdom of God will eventually stand before God on the last day through the future generation, church, and history. Just as Paul lived for the kingdom of God and his footprints remain for us today, we must prepare our today so that our footprints of faith will be left behind before the future generation, church, and history as footprints of the Gospel.
