Going to take a strange route to explain.
I want you to go watch the video beginning at 49 seconds and ending at 52 seconds.
Please watch before reading any further.
There is a phrase in the lyrics at this point. The hero is singing to his lover, “I will declare to the world that you are my love.”
Now pause and think for a moment why does he want to declare to the world?
What is his motive? Why? What is compelling him?
You can observe this in children. You give a gift to a child, a watch, a bicycle or anything. What does the child do?
The child runs around showing everyone the gift that was given. He would go to neighborhood kids and show them the new gift.
Why?
The sweet madness of being in love and being a child is that. Nobody has to compel or nobody has to force you, but you want to declare your Love, your Free Gift.
Evangelism is just that. It is me declaring the Love of God and that I belong to Him and declaring His gift of grace.
I am set free from the law. How can I not declare the Love… nobody told me to. Nobody asked me to. But I want to declare from the public square and shout loud, that I belong to HIM Jesus Christ.
