The Power of Influence (Paul) (Acts 16:10; Luke 1: 1-4; Acts 1: 1-3; 2 Tim 4: 11) ------------------------------------------------------- Every choice we make moves us closer to or away from Christ, and we influence those around us. Within our own self (whether introvert, extrovert, etc), we can all affect the world for Jesus. In fact, our different ways let us influence more people to Christ. Paul was not perfect, but he understood that he represented Christ every day. We never really know when God will use us to change someone’s eternity because they see Jesus in us. God knows what He made us to be. As we become more like Jesus, we will discover our true self as God made us to be. We need to influence everyone we can for Christ … we never know what they’ll do. Application points: -- Keep a “come and see” attitude. It is beautiful to see people living out their faith. Be who we are in Christ. -- Disciple who we can and influence people to Jesus. -- Remember that God is at work. We don’t know and see everything. We might influence people and never know it.
