What Are You Advertising?
“To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”

Ponder This
I read somewhere years ago about a little boy who got saved in the children’s church. One of the adults instructed him to go to the adult service and to tell the pastor he needed to get saved and baptized. Well, he didn’t quite understand, so he told the pastor, “I’ve been saved, and I need to get advertised.” That’s very true. Once you get saved, you get advertised. You’re saying, “I belong to Jesus Christ. I want everybody who sees me to know I have been buried with Him by baptism into death and raised to walk in newness of life. I am identifying myself with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.”
What is the evangelization of the sinner? It is conviction from the Lord; it is conversion to the Lord; it is confession of the Lord; and it is control by the Lord. The Holy Spirit takes possession now of the person who has been bought with the precious blood of Jesus Christ.
Real salvation is not just to believe something or to achieve something, but to receive Someone. The Holy Spirit of God comes into you. Real salvation is not just going to Heaven when you die—that’s a byproduct. Salvation is not getting Man out of Earth into Heaven; it is getting God out of Heaven into Man. That is what we are advertising. That is what we are showing to the world.
- What does it look like for the Holy Spirit to control your life?
- What does your life advertise right now?
