Faithful Servants for the Gospel – Share Jesus
Colossians 1:7 NLT
You learned about the Good News from Epaphras, our beloved co-worker. He is Christ’s faithful servant, and he is helping us on your behalf.

Series: Share Jesus
We have all inherited a life of sin and emptiness from our ancestors, and so we need the gospel to receive it ourselves and to share it with others.
Epaphras shared the gospel and was a faithful servant of Christ. As ministers of the gospel, we have to be faithful to the message of the gospel. The message of the gospel is diluted by many people.
Salvation comes when we repent, accept Jesus and commit our lives to Him and not by just signing out names on some card.
Genuine, sincere, faithful, humble and true people of God are required who would minister the gospel in its completeness and not in parts.
Peter preached on the day of the Pentecost to repent from sin, be baptized and turn to Jesus, who will fill us with the Holy Spirit.
The repentance involves the soul, baptism involves the body and being filled with the Holy Spirit involves the spirit; we then become alive and a new person.
To convey the complete gospel, we should open our Bibles to see what it says about the gospel, about Jesus, about the blood of Christ, etc.
When we are faithful in these little things, God will entrust us with greater things and we will be able to teach people who put their faith in Jesus.
If you have not been faithful till now, repent and decide to be faithful to the complete gospel message.
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
