Sometimes we never know how God will use the little things we do to reach someone with the Gospel.
Stephanie, Tom’s daughter was driving along one day when her phone rang. She didn’t recognize the number, so she didn’t answer.
A few moments later, it rang again. Again, she didn’t answer.
Then it rang a third time. Finally, she decided she had better answer.
On the other end of the phone was a man named Mario. He had seen the sign on the back of her car that asked:
“Do you know the 3 things God cannot do?”
Her phone number was on the sign, so Mario called because he wanted to know the answer.
She explained:
God cannot lie.
God cannot change.
God cannot let anyone into Heaven unless they are born again.
Then she shared the simple plan of salvation with him:
A — All have sinned.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” — Romans 3:23
B — Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” — Acts 16:31
C — Call upon the name of the Lord.
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” — Romans 10:13
That day, Mario accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior!
Think about that. A man saw a sign on the back of a car, made a phone call, heard the Gospel, and trusted Jesus as his Savior.
We may never know how God will use a sign, a Gospel tract, a conversation, an invitation, or even something as simple as driving down the road.
Our responsibility is to make the Gospel available. God will bring the people who need to hear it.
“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Romans 10:17 KJV
What a wonderful reminder to always be ready to share Jesus. You never know who may be looking for the answer—and God may use you to give it to them.
