Let unbelieving families hear the gospel
Romans 10:13-14

I. Text Commentary
It is self-regression and self-awakening to turn back on the path of human beings and change the direction to God. People who grow well in faith are usually meek and meek in their hearts and yield to the Word of God. Life is a gift of God's grace, and that gift flows well to the meek. One day, the wife realizes and the husband realizes, the husband realizes it and the wife, the parents realize it to the child, and the child realizes it and is good to the parents. This personal breakage becomes the driving force for change.
II. two gospel channels
A. Visible Gospel
1. Beautiful deeds of saints
This is a beautiful deed of the saints. Unbelievers are not moved by the holy deeds of believers, and their hearts are not easily opened to Jesus. Conversely, if the conduct of believers is not good and righteous, unbelievers become a major obstacle to believing in Jesus. That is why those who believe in Jesus must appear good and happy to many. In order to do that, you have to live with the fullness of the Holy Spirit on the inside and the joy on the outside. When a believer is in the Lord, even if the pain is severe on the outside, the joy is full on the inside. Unbelievers see the secret of that wonderful joy and wonder about the source.
2. The life of love of saints
Another is a life of love. When a person believes in Jesus and is changed, the change in his life is marvelously perceived by others and family members. Seeing the change, they think, “There really is a God!” Seeing believers who had lived a life of trials and tribulations live a life of joy and tolerance, they are moved and open their hearts to the Lord. So we must show the love of Christ Jesus for them through our lives.
When we fail to deliver it properly and live inconsistent lives, it is difficult for unbelievers to come back to the gospel after seeing it. When we believe in the Lord and strive to serve more unbelieving families, we are laying the groundwork for the gospel to reach them through our actions. So we should better serve and love our unbelieving families. If you are good to your family ten times and do one wrong, you will immediately hear the phrase, “Are you the only person who believes in Jesus?” They have high expectations for those who believe in Jesus, so they should be people who spread the gospel that they can see.
B. Hearing Gospel
No matter how good they are and how good they are, they do not realize that they themselves are terrible sinners. So, no matter how important the visible gospel is, it cannot offset the need for the heard gospel. You have to share the gospel with your family and bring them to the church where the gospel is heard. Therefore, we must help them to hear, understand, and repent in the church where the gospel is preached. We must love them first and serve them, and at some point we must tell with our lips that God loves them and that they are sinners and that Jesus is the way to their salvation. For this you must first pray. Family evangelism may be difficult to accomplish at once, so you need to make continuous efforts.
III. preach the gospel
The gospel must be heard in words that are well understood by them. Whether it's a letter, a recording, or a spoken word, we must preach the gospel to them. Some parents often regret why their children were not able to hear the gospel of Christ Jesus by sacrificing more, weeping, and preaching more when they were young. The same is true for the same period. They must hear the gospel. If not heard, they will never be born again. A person's soul cannot be regenerated by the perishable things of this world, and can only be regenerated by the living Word of God. First, you must have pity on their souls and pray with all your might. Then you have to dedicate yourself to them. While carrying out the work, you should take the opportunity to share the gospel with them.
IV. Conclusion and application
Even though time seems to last forever, it is like the wind that passes quickly. Set up your will again to evangelize unbelieving families. Even if we serve them and preach the gospel, it is God who transforms them. No matter how foolish our evangelism method may seem, doing it is the mission that God has placed us here, and it is a beautiful mission that even angels will admire. Time does not wait for us. If you do not preach the gospel today, if your elderly parents die without accepting the Lord, you may lose your chances and shed painful tears. You should actually listen to them and pray earnestly. Then God's wonderful grace will reach your home. 2006-06-21
