Verses:

Isa 6:8

Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send? Who will go for Us? And I said, Here am I; send me.

Dan 11:32

And with his smooth words he will cause those who act wickedly toward the covenant to be profane. But the people who know their God will show strength and take action.

First, we need to live a life in resurrection under the cross. To live in resurrection is to live in the Spirit of Christ, who is the reality of the resurrection of Christ, and to live under the cross is to experience the death of Christ in our union with Him in His Spirit for the denying of ourselves and our flesh and for the rejection of the world and its influence.

We also need to work by contacting people in preaching the high gospel, in teaching the deeper truths, and in testifying the Christian experience. We should always practice to contact people one by one. We should not try to preach to a group. We may speak to fifty persons at one time, but eventually we may gain none of these fifty. The most effective way is to contact people one by one. We need to preach the high gospel. We should not be influenced by the old concept that people will not understand us if we share things that are deep and high. The thoughtful people want to hear the deeper truths concerning the real meaning of human life.

It is possible that we could share with someone about Genesis 1 in the deepest way. We could ask them to read this chapter with us. Then we could say, “Here it says that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The first thing God did was to call light into being, and then God made the air. Later, God caused the dry land to appear for the existence of the plants, the animals, and man. He created man in His image according to His likeness. In Genesis 1 we see the plant life, the animal life, and the human life, but this is not the highest life. The highest life is seen in the next chapter, and that is the tree of life. For our existence we need the light, the air, and the land, but we are also human beings in God’s image according to God’s likeness. God’s intention is for us to have His life.” We can then grasp the opportunity to ask them to pray with us and call on the Lord’s name.
