Oswald Smith (a famous Evangelical Preacher & Missionary) once said:
“Oh, to realize that souls, precious, never dying souls, are perishing all around us…”
He continues on from there. But what he is speaking of is that some of us lack genuine, heart-wrenching, compassion for those who reject Jesus Christ. Too many human beings are lost to an eternity in Hell simply because we don’t take the time to share the Good News of Salvation through Jesus Christ.
Whether it’s peer pressure, or busyness or fear, we (and I include myself in this) hesitate just a second too long sometimes, and the moment in which we could share the Good News is gone! And that person is lost, perhaps forever.
However, if we truly love our Lord and love our “neighbor”, our hearts should break for those who are lost and for the suffering they will endure. So for today and for all of the tomorrows, let’s not miss our chance to share the Good News of Salvation through Jesus Christ. Let’s help as many as we can spend eternity in Heaven.
Curtis Zachary who wrote Converge Bible Studies had something really helpful to say about sharing the Gospel: “We don’t make choices for other individuals. We share the Joy & Hope we have found in the God of the Gospel”
Remember, it’s not our responsibility to convince another-that’s the Holy Spirit’s job. It’s just our job to plant the seed ?
