21 00:01:54,120 --> 00:02:01,200 No, because when we become saved and receive the free gift of salvation, we are made evangelists. 22 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,360 And an evangelist is someone who spreads the word of God to others. 23 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:10,440 And we can spread the word of God starting with our friends at school, our family members 24 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,320 even, and anyone we meet or reach. 25 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:20,840 We are special because God has chosen us to do his work. 26 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,200 In 1 Peter chapter 2 verse 9, it says, 27 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,880 But you are his chosen people, the king's priests. 28 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,920 You are a holy nation, people who belong to God. 29 00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:34,160 He chose you to tell about the wonderful things he has done. 30 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:39,120 He brought you out of the darkness of sin into his wonderful light. 31 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,800 So yes, we are chosen to spread his word. 32 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,560 In fact, when we don't spread his word, we're living in disobedience. 33 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:51,160 But first, before we can spread his word to others, we need to make sure we know his word 34 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:57,080 and know that we are made with his intention and his special purpose. 35 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,600 So Zi, what are some ways we can use our talents and abilities for God's purpose?
