Wherever He Leads, I'll Go (1247)
We, as Christians, have been sent on a mission to share the Gospel anywhere and everywhere God calls us to go. Where is anywhere and everywhere for you? Have you ever said in your heart, "Wherever He leads, I'll go"? We should be able to say this and mean it, without fear or hesitation.
God has a plan for us and God will use us if we will let Him. How can we know where God wants us to go?
First, we must perceive the call of God. God has many ways to speak to us, through prayer, the Holy Spirit, angels and others. We must get rid of our selfishness, our pride, our ambitions, and be ready to be filled by God. And what God fills, He uses.
We must preach the Gospel, simply and clearly, as according to Jesus Christ. Adrian Rogers says, “The Gospel is simply glorious and gloriously simple.” The Gospel, simply put, is three statements:
“I am a sinner.”
“Christ died for my sins.”
“I am saved by grace, through faith.”
Finally, we must practice the commands of God. The Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20 says, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.”
Baptism is our way of showing our salvation. A true baptism follows a true salvation. Adrian Rogers says, “If we are real missionaries, we're going to receive the call of God, preach the Christ of God and practice the commands of God.”
Apply it to your life
Are you willing to say to God, “Wherever you lead, I’ll go”? If there was ever a time we ought to say it, it is now.
WHENEVER YOU COME TO A CROSSROADS, YOU ARE FACED WITH A DECISION. Whether you realize it or not, the moment you picked up this book, you were at a crossroads. In this book, you will be asked to consider one of the most important decisions you could ever make. The path you choose has the potential to change your life and even determine where you will spend eternity. It's not a decision that is made lightly or quickly, but it is a decision none of us can avoid. Everyone will be asked to make a decision about Jesus Christ. Whether you have been considering Christianity for a while or have a new curiosity about Jesus, this Bible study walks you through this unavoidable decision. With the Bible as our foundation, we will examine what it says about Heaven and Hell, about who Jesus is, and about what it means to be a Christian. Each study follows Pastor Rogers' guide to studying the Bible: Pray Over It. Ponder It. Put It in Writing. Practice It. Proclaim It.
