Will I Have To Tell?

February 11, 2011

Jim was sharing the gospel with Kerri. He told her she was separated from a holy God because of her sin, and that Jesus had died and risen for her salvation. She kept coming up with one reason not to believe: “But if I do receive Him, I won’t have to tell other people about it, will I? I don’t want to do that.” She said that didn’t fit her personality; she didn’t want to have to tell others about Jesus.

Jim explained that promising to witness about Jesus wasn’t a requirement before receiving Him. But he also said that once she came to know the Lord, Kerri would become His ambassador to the world (2 Cor. 5:20).

After talking a little longer, Kerri acknowledged her need for salvation through Christ. She went home excited and at peace. Funny thing happened—within 24 hours she told three people about what God had done in her life.

Because we have been reconciled to God through Jesus, we now have “the ministry of reconciliation,” according to the apostle Paul (v.18). We are His ambassadors, and therefore we implore people “on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God” (v.20).

When we’re thankful, we want to share what God has done.

I love to tell the story,
For some have never heard
The message of salvation
From God’s own holy Word. —Hankey

There’s no better news than the gospel— spread the word! Read: 2 Corinthians 5:12-21

If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. —2 Corinthians 5:17

Bible in a year:
Leviticus 11-12; Matthew 26:1-25

Through the Bible, it tells us of our names are written>in the Book of Life. Later it says Jesus will blot the names from the book of Life.
___________________________________________________________
"Revelation 3:5
KJV He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels."
__________________________________________________________

It was explained, that all of us have our names written in the Book of Life, unbelief is the only unforgivable sin, thus those who do not believe, will have their name blotted out of the Book of Life.

It is a way to approach others with the idea their name is already written in the Book Of Life (thus to have eternal life) and it will be blotted out for all that do not believe God.

Sorry. I am not expressing this as well as I heard it expressed.
