Which is more important, living like a Christian or telling others what I believe about God?
Try to remember the best gift you ever received. What did you do after you opened it? More than likely, you called your best friend to tell him or her about it.
Forgiveness from sin is the greatest gift you will ever receive! It is impossible to keep quiet about it if you truly recognize how important this free gift really is.
Check out the story of the four men with leprosy who discovered the empty camp (2 Kings 7:3-15). All of their enemies were gone! They couldn't wait to share the good news with everyone.
The choice for the four men with leprosy--keeping their discovery a secret or telling others about it--probably was tough to make because their disease separated them from other people. But they didn't hesitate to make their choice.
Our sin is like leprosy. We cannot always tell its effects, but left unchecked, the 'disease' gets progressively worse. But forgiveness is the antidote for this disease. Our response in thankfulness to God could cause us to tell all who will listen!
