Responsibility for Evangelism
(Romans 10:9-15)
It is a command to the salvation of souls that strictly tells us to always exert ourselves, in season and out of season. When the Lord came to this earth, finished all his work, and ascended to heaven, the last will (command will) to the disciples is to preach the gospel to the ends of the earth. (Greater Commandment) What is the gospel?
① The gospel is absolute.
This gospel is the only way for us to come to God. If we are Christians, we must have a firm belief in the gospel. We must believe that no one can come to the Father except through Christ.
② The gospel is urgent.
Opportunities for evangelism do not always exist. Everything has a time and a deadline. Moody was having an evangelism meeting in Chicago, and the Holy Spirit strongly said, “Today’s sermon is about judgment.” But Moody did not listen and the meeting ended as planned. That night, the Chicago Fire broke out. The city became a sea of fire, and countless people were burned to death. Moody regretted it all his life and repented.
③ The gospel is certain.
Those who evangelize must have a clear attitude. You have to have a strong attitude and say what you believe.
④ There must be someone who preaches the gospel.
The gospel needs someone to share it with. Of course we must pray. But after praying, you must go out! It's an unreasonable and foolish method, but God wants to save people in such a way. Even when we are here today, there was someone's battleship.
⑤ The gospel must be preached to those who accept it well.
There are people who accept the gospel too easily. On the other hand, it is very difficult for some. In that case, don't be tied to that person. Start with someone who listens to you. Do not discuss. But keep praying for that person. Just like when writing test answers, you have to start with the easy ones.
⑥ Those who preach the gospel must have a heart of love.
Love radiates passion. “If you want to do evangelism, first pray for love for people.” This means that no one can evangelize without loving people.
Today, December 4th, is the day to make a decision for a big feast for inviting neighbors. Let's declare Think of this as your last chance. Make up your mind and invite your neighbors. “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel…” Amen.
