Listening to a talk about the misconception of evangelism today made want to post it on this blog however I am not finding a way to do so. So I until I am able to post it will summarize...... and well add my own little words in too. The gospel is not "love". Love is a COMMAND. Thus we are called to love, but there are many different ways. The non-believer loves also, so what is the difference between you loving on the people around you and a Buddhist or Atheist loving the people around him? Nothing if it is anything like the liberal Christian who was talking to Todd from way of the master. Are we under the impression that all we are called to do is live our lives being happy Christian people who are supposed to rub off on those around us? Do we think that somehow osmosis occurs and people get saved? Or does the Bible, the very Word of God demand something better and bolder of us? We need to be specific and we need to open our mouths. When we share the gospel, especially by using the Ten Commandments to help one understand what Sin is and to whom it is against (a Righteous and Holy Just God) and that His mercy and grace alone through the Death and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ justifies us to himself then we are truly expressing our concern for others through a compassionate love that says I care for your eternal soul......... and in sharing the gospel God gets glorified and we are obedient.
"In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins." -1 John 4:10
I like this Tract:
What happens to your facebook when you die? Who knows! Here's another question; what will happen to you when you die? What if entry to Heaven were based on how many friends you had on facebook? What if you needed 200 friends? What about 1000? The Bible says it's appointed once for man to die, then comes Judgment. Will you be innocent or guilty? The way to find out is to ask yourself if you've kept the 10 Commandments. Have you ever lied? (9th Commandment) Have you ever stolen? (8th) Using God's name casually or to swear is blasphemy & breaks the 3rd commandment. Sin is breaking God's Law - How'd you do? Are you a sinner? Heaven or Hell? The Bible warns that if we die in our sins, we'll end up in Hell. But God doesn't want that. God demonstrates His love towards us in that while we were yet sinners Jesus Christ suffered & died on the Cross, then He rose from the dead. You broke the Law & Jesus paid the fine. You can't earn your way to Heaven by doing good things (Ephesians 2:8-9) but if you repent (confess & give up your sins) and trust in Jesus alone, God will forgive you & grant you the gift of eternal life. God's offer is similar to a 'friend request' in that you can accept or reject it. -- You received this card from someone that wants you to go to Heaven. Please seriously consider your eternal destiny. Start reading the Bible every day & obey what you read. Thank you for reading this. Visit: www.YouGotOurTract.com
