You wake up after a restful nights sleep. One of the first things you invariably do is take a look in the mirror. You generally don’t look like you did when you laid down for the night as your ruffled hair and sleepy eyes testify. Martin Luther uses the analogy of the mirror when talking about the ten commandments and how they show that we all fall short of the glory and righteousness of God. It shows us our sin.
God’s Law is so important – in fact crucial – in showing us our need for the cross of Jesus Christ and his payment for our sins. When witnessing it is so important to present the Law, for otherwise the Gospel is a cure for an illness most don’t even know they have. “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” (1 Corinthians 1:18). Presenting the law makes the Gospel necessary, truly showing the love of the Father.
In this message by Kirk Cameron, Kirk brings us the key factor in evangelism, which is using Gods law they way it was designed. It’s a short one but I strongly enourage you to take heart the meaning of what he is saying. It’s blessed me. Let it bless you just the same. Thanks for listening.
