Why do think so many who claim the name of Christian shy away from any sort of evanglism ?
I’ve got my own thoughts on the subject. I think it has to do with our relationship with Jesus and maybe some questions below.
– Do I really have a relationship with Jesus ?
– Am I concerned that people will go to a place God calls Hell ?
– Am I convinced that Jesus has the answers to sin & death ?
– Am I ashamed of the Gospel ?
– Am I afraid of what people will think ?
– Do I even know how to share the Gospel with my friends and neighbors ?
– Do I know and have real friends who may not know Jesus ? or am I just around church people all the time ?
– Have I taken the time it takes for preperation ?
– Does the Gospel flow from my life ?
– Won’t God get all “his” people in heaven without me anyway ?
Maybe it is a question of priorities — people these days are so busy, but being busy still involves choice. Let us choose obedience to Christ’s commission.
