The Urgency of Sharing the Good News
The Urgency of Sharing the Good News
The gospel is not just good advice, it is a matter of life and death. People cannot believe unless they hear, and they cannot hear unless someone tells them. God has entrusted you with the message of hope that can rescue those who are lost. Like lifeboats on a sinking ship, we have what the world desperately needs.
It’s easy to become comfortable or distracted, but eternity is at stake. Every believer has a pulpit; at work, at home, in the community. God calls you to proclaim the good news wherever He has placed you, trusting that your obedience can make an eternal difference.
Proverbs 24:11-12 (KJV): “If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain; If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?”
Reflection: Where has God placed you right now that needs the hope of the gospel? What is one step you can take today to share Christ’s love in that place?

Caveat: Ezekiel 33:8 " When I say to the wicked man, ' O wicked man you shall surely die' & YOU do NOT speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, that wicked man shall surely die in his iniquity BUT his blood I will require from YOUR hand. " ( Ezekiel 33:18 )
