Be BOLD About Your Faith!

John 3:16 tells us how God sent his son, Jesus, to die on a cross to free us from the bondage of sin.  This is the ultimate sacrifice of laying down one life for another.  As we go through this life we need to remember that Jesus did that for us - for you and for me personally.

Just like we are athletes and competitors in sports, Jesus was also a competitor.  He was a competitor for every individual's heart with the ultimate goal of that person believing in Him and asking Jesus to come into their life.  He was not shy about this in any way.  He was BOLD.  He stood up.  He spoke out about his beliefs and told everyone why He was here on earth and why WE should lay down our lives, be BOLD and follow Him.

In the Bible it tells us to be like Christ.  That first starts with giving up our old self and being reborn into a life of Christ where we are followers and disciples of His Word.  I'm not saying that this is easy in any way.  It is a tough thing to believe in something you cannot touch or see, but that is where “Faith” gets involved.  Just like if you were to fall backwards into a group of people, you are going to need faith to believe that they are going to catch you.  However, with Christ you can be assured that He will always be there to catch you when you fall.  He will be there in the good times and the bad, and will give you the strength to get through anything.

What about you?  Are you going to be like the rest of society?  Are you going to keep your faith to yourself?  Are you going to be scared to look, say, or be seen differently?  Or will you be like Jesus and lay down your life, take up the cross, and become a BOLD follower for HIM?
