PRIEST. (Pt. 2) Last week we looked at the fact that the Bible declares that being a priest is a part of our new identity as followers of Christ. As "priests", we have been entrusted with the responsibilities of building bridges between God and people...specifically those who don't yet know Him. How do we do that?
Prayer...we go to God on behalf of the people.
Last week I encouraged you to make a list of people in your life who haven't yet entered into an authentic, life-giving relationship with Christ and go to God on their behalf. Pray for them. Ask God to do in their lives what only He can do...draw them unto Himself, reveal Himself to them and change them from the inside out!
Often times, God will use us in answer to our own prayers. This is the other expression of our role as priests...
Witness...we go to the people on behalf of God.
How do we do this? There are so many things you can do to build a bridge for them to connect with God...serve them, befriend them, talk to them, share your "faith story" and invite them to be a part of your world...the church!
Our upcoming series, "The Shack", is designed to be an "easy invite" series. Invite them to join you...it could change their life and eternal destiny!
