Speak up

“We love [Him] because he first loved us.”

1 John 4:19

Everyone has a Voice; it’s how they use it that makes a difference.

• The Voice of the Holy Spirit
• The Non-Believers
• The Believers

• The Passionate Believers

• If you ask: Why do I need to speak up and announce my Love for Jesus?

BECAUSE he first loved you

Some reasons people give for not talking more about their Love for Christ

• Afraid of being laughed at
• Afraid of being criticized
• They do not want any trouble

“If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.”? John 15:19

1. Jesus deserve to be acknowledged

2. He was not ashamed of his love for us.

“If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels” Mark 8:38

1. Because it puts you among the most blessed company.

And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying,“This is My beloved (LOVED) Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Matthew 3:17

If you look through History you will see some of the Bravest Men and Women all who publicly and loudly proclaimed “I LOVE HIM”

1. Your Public declaration of Jesus has the power to influence others around you.

By your example you lead others to Jesus.

1. Speaking up and out loud about your Love for Jesus will be of benefit to yourself.

When we speak of Jesus others might listen, But for sure YOU WILL LISTEN, Because you are with you all the time.
