Here’s a question worth sitting with for a moment: Why did Jesus save you?

The answer might surprise you. He saved you — so you could save others.

The late, great evangelist Reinhard Bonnke said it as well as anyone ever has: “Jesus saves sinners to save sinners.”

The Apostle Paul couldn’t agree more:
“He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them… This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him. For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation. So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, ‘Come back to God!'” — 2 Corinthians 5:15-20 NLT

That passage is breathtaking. We are no longer living for ourselves — we are living for Christ and His mission. We are His ambassadors. His appeal to the world comes through us.

This means we are called to live dead — dead to ourselves, and fully alive to Christ and everything He’s called us to do.

That’s our daily challenge. That’s why we must die to our flesh every single day. That’s why we must be filled fresh with His Spirit every morning. And that’s why we daily, intentionally share our faith — because a life surrendered to Him is a life that naturally overflows into others.

And here’s the adventure of it: when we die to ourselves and invite His Spirit to fill us, incredible — even supernatural — things begin to happen. Things we could never manufacture on our own.Go ahead and try it. He actually dares you. A whole new world of Spirit-led adventure is waiting just on the other side of surrender.
