There is no doubt that in the times in which we live, the choices we face will get harder. Do we tell others the truth? Do we tell them that they must accept Jesus as their Savior if they wish to go to Heaven? Do we share with others the Truths found in God’s Word? Do we share with others that the Bible is the only real source of God’s Word and Plan for our Lives?
It can be difficult, especially these days. And fear also plays a role. Sometimes for ourselves, but also sometimes for others. We fear God’s Truths may make others run away. “Too much too soon” , has often been said by those who care.
But True Compassion also knows that Jesus may arrive tomorrow. What then? What happens to the person that we failed to be honest with? God’s Word says, “But if you do warn the wicked person to turn from their ways and they do not do so, they will die for their sin, though you yourself will be saved.”
Notice it says, that “if we warn the wicked…we will be saved”. So as Christians, we do have a responsibility to do so.
But here is the comforting part, the effort may belong to us and is our gift to God, but the outcome itself belongs to God :). We can share the Truth with others, but whether they choose to hear it or follow it is not up to us and is not our responsibility.
We need to Trust God to do the “heavy lifting”; we just need to find the courage to share God’s Truth with love.
