“Through Christ, God made peace between us and himself, and God gave us the work of telling everyone about the peace we can have with him.” 2 Corinthians 5:18 (NCV)

You can find me on social media. But you probably won’t see me posting about what flavor latte I had or what I thought of the most recent episode of The Voice.

When I signed up for Twitter and Facebook and Instagram years ago, I decided I was going to use them as a tool to encourage people and teach them how to follow Jesus. That’s a much better use of social media then posting about my favorite coffee. 

“Through Christ, God made peace between us and himself, and God gave us the work of telling everyone about the peace we can have with him” (2 Corinthians 5:18 NCV).

There’s nothing wrong with using Instagram to share photos of your kids or the amazing meal you had at your favorite restaurant. But if you’re not using social media to also tell people about the peace they can have with God, then you’re missing a huge opportunity to fulfill your purpose.

God has given us the most important work on the planet: telling others about salvation through Jesus Christ. When Jesus said to go and make disciples of every nation, he was talking to you! For almost 2,000 years, going to the whole world meant getting on a ship or, more recently, a plane to get to the ends of the earth.

Today you don’t have to leave your home to reach the other side of the globe. You can sit in your bedroom in your pajamas and share a good word about the Lord—and in seconds it can reach people around the world. That’s an incredible blessing that no other generation of Christians has ever had. And with that opportunity comes a great responsibility: to use this tool to take the gospel to the nations.

The Bible says in 1 Chronicles 16:24, “Publish his glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things he does” (NLT).

You have the opportunity today to tell people from all over the world the amazing things God has done for you. It’s right at your fingertips.
