Title: Responsibility for Evangelism
Text: Romans 10:13-15
The most meaningful words that people leave in this world are wills. Usual

do power. Because the will is such a meaningful word.
When Jesus came to this earth, finished all his work, and ascended to heaven,
There is one last word he left, namely, a will. It spreads the gospel to the ends of the earth
saying to do it. These words are not just words, they are commands. so this
is called a ground command. We are once again new to the Gospel at this time.
We have to recognize it and move on.
What is the Gospel?
First, the gospel is absolute.
The gospel is the only way given to this earth. we go to God
The only way is this gospel. Pluralistic theology is in trouble right now
However, this is a nonsensical claim. Pluralism is easy
In other words, there is salvation not only in Christianity, but also in Buddhism and in Confucianism.
It is the theology that there is salvation, and even the Unification Church can have salvation.
If so, we can insist on and emphasize Christianity and only Jesus.
There is no reason. If there is salvation in all other religions, then do you dare to pray on this earth?
There is no reason to be religious. In this pluralism, even Donghak
Say there is a circle. So Jae-woo Choi is called Messiah Choi. Jaewoo Choi
He is called the Choi Messiah because he liberated the peasants by raising Donghak. this
This is the pluralistic theology that is causing trouble these days, and the
will be
If we say we are Christians, we must have absoluteness only for this gospel.
do. It is the absoluteness that we cannot receive salvation without the Gospel. which
When I was preaching to people, I said, "There are many ghosts in our country, but we must
Do I have to believe in ghosts?” The truth of Christianity is so cheap.
If so, we don't need to be so stubborn. we are in the gospel
You must have absolutes.
Second, the gospel is urgent.
Opportunities for evangelism do not always exist. When the door of the gospel is open
There is. Anytime it's open, anyone is welcome to come in. But this
The time will come when the door that has been so wide open will one day be firmly closed. then
is to no avail, no matter who comes and knocks on the door. so the bible
is speaking of time. That there is a time for everything. man saves
There is a time to receive and a time to perish. the door will be wide open
There is a time and there is a time when the door is firmly shut. These words reflect the urgency of the gospel.
is to say Time matters. It's no use when that time passes
will be
If you read Moody's biography, you will see that he made the biggest mistake of his life.
I regret that there was a time when I did. He held a rally in Daejeon in Chicago.
I did. I was preaching in the playground where a large number of people gathered, and the Holy Spirit kept moving me.
At this time, about judgment, about the end, about the salvation of souls,
I keep getting inspired to preach. The sermon is going to be delivered tomorrow evening.
You keep telling me to do it tonight. Then he said, "Tomorrow is your day
No." He suppressed that and said, "I'll do it tomorrow evening."
After the sermon he was preaching, the meeting ended that day.
But that night, the Chicago Fire that will go down in history occurred. That
At night, the city of Chicago was engulfed in a sea of fire, and thousands of citizens were burned to death
I did. After that happened, Moody gave a sermon the night before about the end of life.
I regret over and over what I didn't do, stating that I lived with a guilty heart
There is. This speaks of the urgency of the gospel. tomorrow is my day
I mean, it's not. No one knows tomorrow. Tomorrow morning I will
There is no guarantee that it will happen again.
In the United States, an elder said that the two of them went to bed as usual.
When I woke up in the morning, the elder who was sleeping on the bed next to me was already dead.
will be He was an elder, so what if he had been an unbeliever?
Is that going to happen? He is none other than my unbelieving Father, and I
If you are my brother and my husband, is this a small matter? so the gospel
is urgent.
Third, the gospel is certain.
Those who evangelize must not have a dim attitude. sure and sure
You have to speak with an attitude. Because the gospel is certain. okay
Those who preach the gospel in the West must be confident in their words. "If you believe in Jesus,
It's the answer." You shouldn't say that.
A communist said to his friend a Christian, "We are lying
With words, we believe and live confidently as if they were the truth, but you
How can you be so powerless even though you believe in the truth of the enemy's resurrection?"
say that. It's because I don't have confidence. The gospel is certain. this sure
It means that we must preach the one gospel with certainty.
Fourth, there must be someone who preaches the gospel.
The gospel needs someone to share it with. So in the text
He wrote, “How shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?
How can they hear? The feet of those who preach the gospel are beautiful.”
You can't just sit around and do it. Of course I have to pray, but I pray
You have to go and tell them. There must also be fertile soil, but someone
It's useless if you don't sow the seeds. Add salt from the stove to taste
Just as evangelism is, someone needs to have someone to share it with.
So it is said that faith comes by hearing. Who preaches the gospel like this
They said Ram's feet were beautiful. God will do well if you go out and do evangelism
As you can see, God will never go out of his way to evangelize on your own.
I did. We are ignorant, weak, and slow, but God does it through people and we
He tells us to evangelize through them.
You too must have had someone's evangelism before you came out here today.
will be Just like you did, you too should evangelize someone.
will be If someone doesn't tell you, you can't hear it. so bless
Well, there must be someone to deliver.
Fifth, the gospel must be preached to those who accept it well.
There is Sarah who accepts the gospel very easily. This person is a believer
Even with a bow, it is very clean and purely good. But some are very strong
There are people who take it. very unacceptable. I prayed for 10 or 20 years.
There are people who show no signs of change at all.
In times like these, you shouldn't be tied to that one person. if you pray
It means that we must make continuous efforts to evangelize, but the listeners must first evangelize. within
If you insist on doing what you want to be, and insist on doing it until the end, you only have time and passion.
waste it So you have to work wisely.
It's like when you take a test, if you have a difficult problem, put it off and try the easy one.
You have to embrace it first and solve difficult problems later when the time is right.
If you cling to one luck problem, you won't be able to solve it and you will ruin the test.
Rigoma is. That is why evangelism takes priority from those who accept it well.
that must be conveyed.
Sixth, evangelism must have a loving heart.
This means that you have to have passion. In evangelism, "to evangelize
If you do, pray first with all your love for people.”
It means that no one can do evangelism without loving people.
Some people say that their father stubbornly refuses to believe, but
I worry a lot about what to do if I just go out of my way. actually then
If one day no one else, "my father, my mother" just died
This is a big deal. But if you don't think much of it after looking at it, this is a bigger deal
That's a problem. What could be greater than this? love people and buy souls
If you don't have a loving heart, you don't have any feelings for such a big deal. so
To love people and to pray for a heart to love the soul first.
All.
A man named Saint Damien fought against the mundane people in Molokai, Hawaii.
So I did evangelism, but because I knew evangelism with a very clean face, it was well received.
Said it didn't matter. So, later, I said to God, "Like those people, I
He prayed, “Give me leprosy.” Then he cut flesh with people.
After living with bibigo, he later became a leper himself and was just like those people.
It is said that they were in the same situation and did evangelism effectively. Paul also preached
So, when I went to a foreign land, I lived like a Gentile, preached, and went to a Jew.
confessed that he lived and preached like a Jew. without doing so
Because there is no conduction. So, how great would your sacrifice be?
So God created various types of poor Christians in this world.
that's what you put it on. Go to the person who had one leg cut off and preach, "Two legs
Wouldn't that be better than losing it all?"
can't evangelize that person. There's something bad about a man's heart
All.
Go to a person who has lost one leg, do evangelism, and come to know the love of God.
In order to do this, a person who has lost both legs must be able to speak. lost both legs
A person with a severed arm must go and seek God to receive it.

If you want to go to the sick and evangelize, you must also visit the sick.
In order to go to the poor and evangelize, the poor must also go and evangelize.
do. So God made sick Christians on this earth, and
There was one Christian, and he sent crippled Christians to this earth.
I lamented why I am so poor, sick and crippled.
However, it is a mission given by God because he has a will. all to people
This is what he did to evangelize effectively.
Everyone, I hope that next week we can all evangelize and come before the Lord together.
wish. Think of this as your last chance and make up your mind to evangelize.
It is. There is an order for evangelism. First of all, it's family. everyone else
If I get saved and my family doesn't get saved, it's sad. Then
is a relative, next is a neighbor, and so on.
The Bible says: "It is beautiful. The feet of those who preach the gospel."
Now all of you listen to this sermon and spend this week thinking about it
you will be There are many people who go around to evangelize while doing gomini like that.
I hope that the footsteps of the people will become beautiful feet in the sight of the Lord.
All.
