Colossians 4:2-6

Colossians 4:2-6    Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.  And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.  Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should.  Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity.  Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone (NIV).

   As a follower of Jesus, I have long been convicted by Scripture and the Holy Spirit that the most important thing I can do is clearly explain the gospel, and to proclaim it from my heart.  Paul had such a conviction, and asked for prayers he would be enabled to do so.
   Thus for this unusually short piece, I give a Gospel message: Jesus Christ died on a cross for the forgiveness of sins of anyone.  Jesus was the substitutional atonement for the consequences of sins, which is spiritual death.  Then on the third day Jesus was resurrected!  If you believe in Jesus as your Savior and Lord, you will have eternal life in the kingdom of heaven.
