A fearless life (John Crysostom)

John Crysostom, a golden mouthed man, one of the great church fathers in Western church, and was declared to be "doctor of the church". I learned from his life, that when you’re determined and when you believed that what you’re doing is good you’ve got to be fearless. You’ve got to stand to what is true no matter what and be bold enough to declare it. Crysostom was known to be a great preacher, offering his listeners impressive sermons. He was not afraid to tell the truth to people.

Likewise, as Christians, we’ve got to be fearless in sharing the truth to all people. We ought not to fear rejection and persecutions. We may not be like Crysostom who was very fluent in public speaking but may our inadequacy lead us to trust God more as we obey His command in telling people about the truth. But we should also recognize that Satan has blinded men from seeing the truth. Our enemy is very active in trying to frustrate our desire to endure in sharing the gospel to people, and this means that we have to be more passionate in telling them the truth. Knowing that our responsibility is to share the gospel, and God’s part is to lift the veil so that they may turn back to God. We should pray persistently then for the salvation of all people with a determined heart to go and proclaim to everyone the salvation in Christ. Not fearing what might happen to us.
