I reckon the best sort of advertising is personal recommendation. If I’ve been pleased with a good or service and the opportunity comes up, I’ll spout the benefits of it, to whoever might take time to listen to me. Personal recommendations work best when we have an established and credible relationship in which mutual trust is a feature of that relationship.
God wants everyone everywhere to have a relationship with Him, through Jesus. He has, “advertised His willingness to be our friend”, through the pages of the Bible. Some people come to believe and accept God’s plan through reading the Bible but, many times God uses those of us who have come to trust and believe in His promises to be sales representatives for Him.
God wants everyone to experience the best He has for us. It’s the privilege of those of us who have found a relationship with Him to be just what we all need, to share this good news with the people we meet.
Let’s keep experiencing the wonder of God’s care for us all and look for chances to advertise this to those we meet.
