And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Thank you for your reply and for posting your favorite KJV Bible verse.

Mark 16:15-16 15
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

One of the things that has been on my heart recently is that as God's people, it's our duty, it's our responsibility, it's our ministry to manifest truth. First the truth of the Gospel in God's preserved word, 'Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature'.

The message of the Church ought to be one of God's grace & mercy on sinners, that believing in Jesus Christ's substituting, sacrificial death on the cross for your sins, and having your sins blotted out by His precious blood, is the only way to heaven. The message of the Church should not be that God tolerates your sinful lifestyle. Those two messages are not the same, God does not tolerate sin, but He will forgive your sin and have grace and mercy on the sinner. The foremost message of the Church today, I'm not talking about the single message of the Church, but the foremost message should be, "Christ died for sinners, of which we are also"

2 Corinthians 4: 3
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

Think about that, we were called to preach the gospel. Preach the gospel and God will straighten out everybody's life. Preach the Gospel and God will save your loved ones, preach the gospel and God will clean up people's lives. We're called to preach the Gospel. Preach the Gospel and that's what will clean up our country, and get our country back to following the narrow path, which lead to eternal life, and off the broad road which leads to destruction. It is God's job to bring souls to salvation, He said, "if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost."

Our duty, our responsibility is to NOT hide the Gospel

May the Lord bless you and yours.
