Being Bold

Today in my Bible study we discussed the life of John the Baptist and how he was bold for Christ. 

Many times I find that I am not bold for Christ.  Today's discussion reminded me about the topic of salvation.  One pastor broke salvation down into three components.  This has made it easier for me to explain to my children.  The first part is that we must come to the place where we realize that we are sinners and that we need a Saviour.  The second part is that we acknowledge that Jesus paid our debt or our penalty on the Cross.  He was our sacrifice.  The third component involves surrendering our lives for Christ.  Each day we should continue to surrender to Him.  My prayer is that God will continue to give me opportunities for Him.  I pray that I will be bold for Him when I need to be and that I will share His story.
