What if you found out that there was going to be an attack against your town?\u00a0 In one week, missiles and bombs would begin to fall.\u00a0 And you were the only one in town who knew about it.\u00a0 So the only way to save all those people would be to evacuate everybody to bomb shelters or get them out of town.\u00a0 Would you bother trying to tell anybody?\u00a0 How about family or friends?\u00a0 Or would you leave all by yourself, and let everybody in town die?<\/p>\n
What if you tried telling people, and nobody believed you?\u00a0 Why should they believe you?\u00a0 How hard would you try to convince them?\u00a0 How easily would you give up?<\/p>\n
This is the dilemma that faces every Christian.\u00a0 All believers are commanded by their Lord and Savior to make disciples and to teach people to obey the commands of Jesus.\u00a0 In other words, they are to save lives by making Christ followers out of sinners, who are otherwise doomed to Hell.\u00a0 Missiles and bombs might kill people’s bodies, but people who die with their backs to God suffer an eternal death that is described as a lake of fire.\u00a0 So, obviously that would be worse than any kind of death we could imagine on Earth–and since our soul is eternal the torment would never end.<\/p>\n
So, knowing that, how hard do you try to tell the world what Jesus commanded?\u00a0 Do you share the message of salvation with anybody–friends, family, neighbors?\u00a0 What if they don’t believe you?\u00a0 How hard to you try to convince them?\u00a0 How easily would you give up?<\/p>\n
