Scripture: Acts 20:22-24 NIV
“And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not
knowing what will happen to me there. I only know that in every city
the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me.
However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to
finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—
the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.”
But rather than give in to the faithless religious and government authorities, they preached Christ even more
boldly and filled the whole of Jerusalem with their doctrine (Acts 5:28).
There’re antichrist spirits in the world today, working against the preaching of the Gospel, but they’re not a factor, because we’ve already overcome them. 1 John 4:4 says, “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.”
Emulate Paul’s love for Christ and passion for the Gospel (Acts 20:22-24). This glorious Gospel which has been committed to your trust is worth everything. Therefore, preach it boldly everywhere!
