First

“I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word, that they may all be one, just as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that you have sent Me.”  John 17:20-21

Jesus gives us two ways that people come to believe in Him, through our words and through the unity of the church.  You and I have to be able to clearly explain who Jesus is, how to trust Him, and what that means for eternal life.  That means we need words to express our faith to others.  But words without meaning are pointless.  The unity of the church indicates that a faith in Jesus does change our lives.  The unity of the church speaks louder than the words and it gives our words a deep meaning.

Pray: Pray for your Gospel presentation.  Pray for clarity in talking about your faith in Jesus.  Pray that the peace and unity in your life will give credibility to the words you share.
