The document discusses the concept of "living the gospel" according to Jesus' teachings in the Bible. It defines the gospel as the good news of Jesus' life, teachings, sacrifice, and resurrection that provides salvation from sin through faith in Jesus alone. Living the gospel means putting Jesus' teachings into practice by being a light to others, loving others as Jesus loved, and consistently moving toward perfection. The benefits of living the gospel include freedom from sin, experiencing God's presence, living with love and joy, and bringing others to faith by our example.

18. PS. Food for thought…

19. Many of our Churches spread around the world and in a myriad of denominations diligently seek to convert more and more to Christianity… … and our numbers will grow Jesus told us of a very clear way in which we could grow in numbers… He wanted us to BE A LIVING EXAMPLE ON TO OTHERS so that they would notice our good deeds and GLORIFY OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN.

20. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. AND THE LORD ADDED TO THEIR NUMBER DAILY THOSE WHO WERE BEING SAVED. A good example from the early Christians…. Acts 2: Actions that caused the early believers to be noticed and for many to convert to being a Christ follower.

21. As a Christian if you are able to be a living example to JUST ONE PERSON with the objective of bringing that person to God… … and similarly all Christians work at being a living example to JUST ONE PERSON to bring one such soul to God… We would be doubling the size of the church within one Year!
