Seek TRUTH - Choose LIFE
Evangelism
How many of us will see ourselves come to this conclusion in heaven? Knowing we could have sacrificed some of our possessions and comfort to deliver the gospel for the salvation of the lost and deceived mankind. Reality is worse than the one depicted. Those who perished only lost their mortal bodies and the temporary lives were cut short. The destiny of the souls have eternal consequences. How earnestly do we seek to find the lost in this world?
God doesn’t only provide comfort in our daily lives but a hope for an eternal life with Him. You can’t save the world but you can be a part of the ones who change the world and eternity for at least one more person. You can’t repent for them, you can’t force them to love God, you can’t do many more things. But you can reach out and show God’s love for them as He has for you. BE THAT PERSON for that “ONE MORE PERSON” !
How many have we led to Jesus Christ? How many have we interceded for to be saved? How much do we really care about the lost? Or do we only care that we are saved? How we do not seek to reach the lost and face the awkward, uncomfortable, out of place, spontaneous moments when God is urging us to share the gospel with those who may not know or stumbled from the right path? How much effort do we invest in educating ourselves to be able to share the gospel with those who resist God? Are we equipped? Do we love them as Christ loved them. We are the feet of the church to carry the gospel to the lost, we are the hands of the church to help those in need and embrace them with love, we are the mouth of the church to share the truth that set us free from condemnation.
We are equipped with the word of God and driven by His Holy Spirit to share the message of: mankind’s sin and condemnation, God’s grace and forgiveness, mankind’s salvation through faith for salvation. This faith will produce good fruit and pleasant aroma for the edification and sanctification of others.
This scene does not fully represent the regret and guilt we will feel before God and those who could have been saved if we have reached out to them with God’s truth in love and compassion. The moment we realize that momentary death is a like a drop in the ocean of eternal death- we shall truly realize the urgency of the danger that the world is in. May this be an encouragement to those who share the gospel and a warning to those who don’t. If you do not wish for others to be saved - are you really saved yourself?
