  13. Romans 1:16 羅 馬 書 Romanos • 16 For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile. • 我 不 以 福 音 為 恥 ; 這 福 音 本 是 神 的 大 能 , 要 救 一 切 相 信 的 , 先 是 猶 太 人 , 後 是 希 利 尼 人 • A la verdad, no me avergüenzo del evangelio, pues es poder de Dios para la salvación de todos los que creen: de los judíos primeramente, pero también de los gentile

  14. Is this how we “let our light shine before all men?

  15. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 • Let me now remind you, dear brothers and sisters,ofthe Good News I preached to you before. You welcomed it then, and you still stand firm in it. 2 It is this Good News that saves you if you continue to believe the message I told you—unless, of course, you believed something that was never true in the first place. • 弟 兄 們 , 我 如 今 把 先 前 所 傳 給 你 們 的 福 音 告 訴 你 們 知 道 ; 這 福 音 你 們 也 領 受 了 , 又 靠 著 站 立 得 住 ,2並 且 你 們 若 不 是 徒 然 相 信 , 能 以 持 守 我 所 傳 給 你 們 的 , 就 必 因 這 福 音 得 救 。 • Ahora, hermanos, quiero recordarles el *evangelio que les prediqué, el mismo que recibieron y en el cual se mantienen firmes.2 Mediante este evangelio son salvos, si se aferran a la palabra que les prediqué. De otro modo, habrán creído en vano.

  16. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 • 3I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. 4 He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said. • 3 我 當 日 所 領 受 又 傳 給 你 們 的 : 第 一 , 就 是 基 督 照 聖 經 所 說 , 為 我 們 的 罪 死 了 ,4而 且 埋 葬 了 ; 又 照 聖 經 所 說 , 第 三 天 復 活 了 , • Porque ante todo les transmití a ustedes lo que yo mismo recibí: que Cristo murió por nuestros pecados según las Escrituras, 4 que fue sepultado, que resucitó al tercer día según las Escrituras,

  17. Religion vs. The Gospel

  18. More Contagious & Potent Viral Gospel • Supersize the gospel • Embrace a more radical faith • Move from apathy to outrage • Move out from the Christian Ghetto Stop judging; Show God’s love

  19. 3. ACTIVATE: DISCIPLESHIP • Converts to Disciples • Where do we start? • Matthew 5:1-3 - The Beattitudes • Reliance (surrender)  Prayer • Sins  Repentance • Humility  God’s word

  20. Colossians 4:2 歌 羅 西 書 Colosenses • 2 Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. 3 Pray for us, too, that God will give us many opportunities to speak about his mysterious plan concerning Christ. That is why I am here in chains. 4 Pray that I will proclaim this message as clearly as I should • 3 也 要 為 我 們 禱 告 求 神 給 我 們 開 傳 道 的 門 , 能 以 講 基 督 的 奧 祕 (我 為 此 被 捆 鎖 )4叫 我 按 著 所 該 說 的 話 將 這 奧 祕 發 明 出 來 。 • y, al mismo tiempo, intercedan por nosotros a fin de que Dios nos abra las puertas para proclamar la palabra, el *misterio de Cristo por el cual estoy preso. 4 Oren para que yo lo anuncie con claridad, como debo hacerlo.

  21. Colossians 4:5-6 • Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity. 6 Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone. • 你 們 要 愛 惜 光 陰 , 用 智 慧 與 外 人 交 往 。 • 6 你 們 的 言 語 要 常 常 帶 著 和 氣 , 好 像 用 鹽 調 和 , 就 可 知 道 該 怎 樣 回 答 各 人 。 • Compórtense sabiamente con los que no creen en Cristo, aprovechando al máximo cada momento oportuno. 6 Que su conversación sea siempre amena y de buen gusto. Así sabrán cómo responder a cada uno.
