Jesus never gave the disciples a method, strategy or medium to spread the gospel. He just told them to go and make disciples of all nations. That means that for them, and now to us to reach the ends of the world, we have been given the liberty to be creative and innovative.
Joy is in God’s presence. So living according to His dictates would make you live as how your life had been programmed in Christ, long before you came to Him in godly repentance, which led to your salvation. Go and live as such.

Have you ever thought of the difference between freedom and liberty in Christ? Min. Obed Aning shares his thoughts on this salient theme of scripture.
You’re redeemed in Christ Jesus by His blood so that you’ll live the life you ought to – that life filled with good works which God foreordained for you to live in Christ (Ephesians 2:10).

And since you live out what’s in you, you’ll begin to manifest the ways of Jesus physically.
