Go into all the World

"How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!" Romans 10:14-15


There are many people who have never heard the gospel of Jesus Christ and will die and go to hell because we Christians are staying in our comfort zone and not preaching the Good News! It is a commandment to preach the Gospel and yet we ignore the Word of God. It says "And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the
whole creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned." Mark 16:15-16. See, it is not our job to saved people, that's the Holy Spirit's job. Our job is just to present the Gospel to them. If they turn away from your teaching, don't look at it like they're rejecting you because they're not. They're rejecting Christ who is knocking on their door. Here is a question for you, How much do you have to hate someone, to not tell them the Good News? Think about it, if they never hear the Gospel and turn to Jesus, they will spend all eterity in Hell! Don't say to yourself "I don't hate people" when you won't pick up your Bible and tell them the best news they'll ever hear which is able to save their soul. I speak for myself as well. Please take in what I am trying to get across and practice getting out of your comfort zone, because the things of this world is not worth or what we should look forward to, but the gifts of God are. "preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry." 2 Timothy 4:2-5
To God be the Glory!

Be a doer not a hearer!

"Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the Word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves." James 1:19-22


There's a lot of Christians out there that keep their Religious laws and go to church, but are hearers of the Word and not doers. Don't deceive yourself, don't be a hearer of the Word who just hearers the Words of God and then goes about their own business, but be a doer. Be someone who does something for Christ, Christ bought us when He died for our sins, so we're supposed to be slaves to Him. We ought to pour our lives out for the one who gave His life for us. Like it says in James 2:17 "So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead." Our faith by itself isn't going to get us any closer to God, we must put works behind our faith otherwise our faith is no good. When i mean no good i mean that God isn't going to be saying to you "well done my good and faithful servant." Do you know why?... Because you were not a servant at all!! You sat comfortably in this world and said to yourself "I'm going to heaven because I believe in God." Yeah Right! I don't think so! If you can sit comfortably in this world and not be persecuted in some kind of way then most likely your not saved, because in 2 Timothy 3:12 it says "Indeed, all who desire to live a Godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted" There you go, right from the Word of God, if you're a true believer and live like a true believer then you will be persecuted for your faith in God. A true sold out Christian is to be looked on by the world as a fool, because if the world does not look at you as a fool then you look like the world and are not serving Christ. You can only serve one master which will it be, the world which will pass away or God Himself the Creator of Heaven and earth, the One who sent His Son for our sins, and the One who is coming back as a judge, to judge the sins of all mankind. The choice is yours! Don't play with your soul!
To God be the Glory!
