Many Christians just scratch the surface of all the benefits Jesus provided in salvation. This cheats them and keeps others from seeing how great Christianity can be. Receiving the good news message, that tells us how to BECOME a Christian, is just the beginning. The good news message is much bigger and greater than just entering the door to it. There is a whole new life we can live.

It is true Jesus died for our sins; but, He didn’t die and stay dead. He rose from that death so as to bring us a whole new way of living. Jesus is alive and ready to provide us with the good news life. The good news message isn’t just a message that makes us feel good. It isn’t just words of comfort and encouragement; it is a message of abundant living here and in eternity.

We have been examining the good news message and seeing just how great and wonderful it is. As we move into the life it provides, we go beyond just OBSERVING how great it can be.

We take the process of using our tongue and mouth and begin steering our life into this full and abundant life. We have learned what it provides and we have learned how to take advantage of those provisions.

But, knowing WHAT and knowing HOW aren’t the same as APPLYING these things. Let’s start USING them to move into this good news life. Let’s not just talk about it, let’s take advantage of it. Prayer is our main process of moving into the actual life. Talking the good news words is our next tool for steering into it. And, acting in faith is our third step into the good news life.

Ask Jesus to lead you through these three steps, as you move toward the good news life. Pray that He will show you how to allow Him to influence your tongue and mouth each moment of the day. Ask Him to notify you, when your mouth gets off track. Tell Him you want His attitudes of faith and action to pour through your mouth and body. Let Him train you in thinking the good news words, speaking them, and living them.
