Question: Why Not?

"If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified."
1 Peter 4:14

Hello brothers and sisters in the Lord,
I have a question to ask you all:
Is there any reason why a follower of Christ (aka "Christian") should not tell unsaved about the gospel of Christ?

It's so important for us to first of all realize: why we share the gospel. One reason, God told us to in the great commission.
Also, just think of God's amazing love that he showed to us, you and me, in that WHILE we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Rom 5:8)
That is amazing, amen?

Then think about others, and think: Why not share the gospel?
1. What do you have to lose?
a) That relationship; they might not talk to you, they might start yelling at you, they might make fun of you.  But guess what? Jesus said "Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. REJOICE, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven; for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you." (Matt 5:11-12) and 1 Peter 4:14
b) Your physical body; man might kill the body, but he can't take your soul!
Typically this doesn't happen in the U.S; We have it pretty easy here, compared to different countries where people are being martyred every day for the name of Christ. But IF they even physically hurt or kill you and me, it's just like Paul says: "For me to life is Christ and to die is gain." (Philippians 4:21 I believe)
2. What do they have to lose?
They might lose that comfortable feeling that they have in their sin. They might lose pleasure in their sin, as they realize that a Train of Death is about to hit them.
3. What do they have to gain?
Eternal life with Jesus! "He who has the Son has life, he who does not have the Son does not have life." (1 John 5:11-12)
4. What do you have to gain?
Eternal treasures in heaven; whereby rust and moth can't ruin, and thieves can't steal. (Matt 6:20)
And God's approval, so that if we were to die today, God could say "Well done my good and faithful servant!"


So let's love God and people as if we knew today was our last day!
Love in Christ,
Landon

Indonesian Christians are worshiping Jesus, whether anyone likes it or not!

Perspective:
After the missions trip in July 2010, and after feeling so fired up and inspired up for God and coming back to normal life, I realized this: "The country I'm in shouldn't alter my walk with the Lord. My walk with the Lord should alter my country."
