What’s the Point of Faith If You Never Step Out?
It’s one thing to believe in Jesus—it’s another to actually live like He’s King.
Think about this: If someone signs up for a gym, buys all the gear, learns the routines, and watches motivational videos but never actually works out... are they really committed to change?
Faith can look a lot like that sometimes. Believers know the Great Commission—“go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19). They agree that Jesus is Lord and that sharing His love matters. Yet many stay silent, stuck in spiritual prep mode, waiting for the “right” moment to live it out.
But what if the right moment is now?
Jesus didn’t just leave His followers with a mission. He gave them a promise: “Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:20). That means every fear, every doubt, every excuse we carry—He’s already made provision for it through His presence.
This isn’t about being perfect or knowing all the answers. It’s about responding to the authority of Jesus (“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me” – Matthew 28:18) and trusting that the Holy Spirit goes with us. He equips us to do what we could never do alone.
Because the world isn’t changed by people who just believe in the mission. It’s changed by those who live it.
So what’s holding you back?
