Non-Christians Don't know why Christians share the Gospel, this is why.
Christians share the Gospel so that non believers will know the saving grace of Christ. When they die, they will have the promise of heaven and not be lost to their Creator for all eternity. If you think waiting at the bank or in a check out line at the grocery store takes along time...imagine eternity in a line that goes no where.
My prayer for all who don't yet know Jesus, is that God will put someone in their lives who can tell them of the wonderful mercy and grace our Father has bestowed upon His creation, that they don't have to earn it, it is a gift, freely given by God through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ His son, a perfect sacrifice for the sins of the whole world. God is a loving God and Father. He loves His Creation so much that he sent His son to earth to live as a mortal being and have the same temptations as a human, to rise above these trials and have no sin, to be the perfect sacrifice, as we could never be perfect no matter what we do, to die for our sins and be raised again to the Glory of Our Father. So that when we give our lives and hearts to Christ, by faith, we die in Jesus to be raised again with Him and be in Heaven when we die. He has built us a home in heaven. It is just waiting for us, all we need to do is believe in our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ. In His most precious name I pray. Amen.
The Will- June 20, 2005
A close neighbor passed away rather suddenly not long ago. In the following days, it fell to his children to look through their dad's possessions. It was a difficult experience, because of the circumstances. As they searched through the tools, golf stuff, supplies, magazines, and various other things, they were surprised at some of what he had.
No matter how private a person you are, when you die, possessions are no longer under your control. The Bible warns us of getting too attached to this world's things. Jesus said, (Mark 8:36) "For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?
"Each of us should consider that question. We have to plan ahead, much like someone might make a will to take care of their affairs when they die. In a sense, we make a will when we tell God that we want Jesus Christ to be a part of our lives. In doing so, make the most important plans that can be made, those that affect our eternal destination.
Have you made plans for your eternal future? If not, why not do something about it right now? The Bible says "Now is the time for salvation!" I urge you to plan for your eternal future right now. You don't know if you will have time to plan later.
