Share the Gospel

Once I worked with a young woman that took a week off to go to an “evangelism” training workshop. When she told me about this I asked her. “So what did they teach you?”
To which she explained, “To ask things like, If you were to die tonight where would you be tomorrow?.”
“I see”, I said, “Where did they get that from scripture?”
She thought about it for a moment. “ I don’t know.”
The answer of course is that it doesn’t come from scripture. No Biblical evangelist ever asked that question. After explaining that to her I told her, “The fact that a sinner is going to hell is a great motivator for you to share the gospel, but it is simply foolishness to them.”

In fact the Bible says:

1Cr 2:14
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned.

That was the end of that conversation.
Sharing the Gospel can be a scary thing, but the sinner already faces something much more frightening, and much more real. Let your knowledge of the sinner’s fate motivate you to share the good news with them. Don’t worry so much about messing up. The sinner is already hell bound, any seed that you plant or fail to plant cannot make his condition any worse. However even the smallest seed you plant can be used by God.

Go out and share the Gospel

God Bless,
