Never underestimate the power of a seed

The aim of J316... planting 'seeds of faith'

The importance of planting 'seeds of faith':
  • John 3:16 Good News... made simple! is not a deep apologetic approach to sharing the Gospel. It isn't aimed at answering every question of the skeptic. For many Christians that's a daunting undertaking. However, if your friends are open to God, 'John 3:16 Good News... made simple!' will give you the confidence you need to lead them to Christ. Perfect to help those 'close to home', ready to move into a personal relationship with Jesus. 
  • People 'wander spiritually' through life. There are times when they are far from God, far from coming home to Jesus. Other times they are closer to home, more spiritually sensitive and open to entering into relationship with Jesus. Like someone lost in a forest trying to find their way back home. Sometimes they are unknowing close, perhaps within a few hundred yards, but still out of view of 'home'. They hear no voice calling out to them. So once again they stray further away. As Christians, we need to be watchful and ready to be the voice helping them come "home" to Jesus.
  • It is said that most people need to hear the Gospel numerous times before they respond to the call of Jesus. This stresses the importance of  'planting seeds' of faith. Each time we share stories of our faith walk or the Gospel in love, God uses it... "Faith comes from listening to this message of Good News... the Good News about Christ" (Romans 10:17 NLT). Like giving directions to one far away from home, it points them in the right direction. For those in the neighborhood it's a perfect way to call them home. Helping them step across the threshold of faith  into relationship with Jesus.  
  • Those we share with who are keenly skeptical of a relationship with Jesus will likely need more time and/or 'information' than J316 alone will provide. However God can use it to draw them a bit closer. Planting seeds of faith from a genuine heart of love is key. 
  • And for those who are 'close to home'... J316 is a great tool to assist friends ready to enter into relationship with Jesus and experience His love, forgiveness and acceptance.
