1. This lesson retaught me the importance of evangelism. God can use me to be His vessel to lead others to Christ. Evangelism should be a burning desire in my heart so that others can know personally Jesus Christ.
2. When I was a teenager, I was addicted to hockey. I would spend everyday playing a hockey game for hours. When I became a Christian, I realized that I had to put hockey on the shelf for awhile. Hockey in itself is not evil. An obsession with hockey is a sin. When I gave hockey for awhile, I felt relieve from the Holy Spirit. I felt His presence and was glad to regain a proper perspective of sports in my life.
3. The characteristic that I felt spoke to me the loudest was to have a burning passion to evangelize to lost sinners. When you have a burning passion, it is not an obsession, but rather a spiritual zeal to proclaim the Gospel to your lost family member or neighbor. If you believe that when a person dies he or she will leave his or her body, and spend an eternity somewhere. With this perspective eternity can motivate you to try to win others to Christ, so that they will experience the presence of Jesus in heaven.
