Why Won’t You Witness For Jesus Christ?
I recently heard a statistic that only 5-10% of those in America who profess Christ as their Savior actually share their faith with others. As to the validity of the stat, I do not know, but my personal conviction is that it is very close to accurate. There are many Christians who do share their faith and I thank my God for you!
I would be willing to bet that if the other 90-95% were to win the lottery, they would tell everyone they knew and even some that they did not know. Yet if you take all the lotteries, all the riches, all the wonders, all the heavens, and gift wrap them in a box and present them to one who truly knows Jesus Christ as their Lord, they would toss that box to the side as if it were a lump of coal, because Jesus outweighs all of the riches and wonders and heavens wrapped up, rolled up, and put together.
The true Christian has already found his treasure!
Why is it so hard to speak about something so wonderful? Think about it, when was the last time something so wonderful, beyond belief, has happened to you, and you didn’t tell a soul?
And what about hell? Have you ever walked with spiritual eyes and seen the vast majority of people are on the broad road to hell?
Imagine you woke up one day and looked over at your neighbors house and saw a raging fire in their back yard and you knew the family was inside and would fall victim to the blaze if you didn’t say anything. You would dash to their door with urgency and plead with them, with all that is in you, to see the same fire that you can plainly see and plead with them to flee the death that is to come.
So I am asking you to look at the home of your unregenerated neighbor with spiritual eyes. Do you see it? Do you see the very fires of hell raging even as you read; satan crouching and waiting to devour! Why won’t you do anything?
For those of you who do share your faith…MAY GOD BLESS YOU!
“Have you no wish for others to be saved? Then you are not saved yourself. Be sure of that.”
“Answering a student’s question, ‘Will the heathen who have not heard the Gospel be saved?’ thus, ‘It is more a question with me whether we, who have the Gospel and fail to give it to those who have not, can be saved.”
~Charles Spurgeon

hi wesley,
i was actually moved to tears as i read this article of yours, about 9yrs ago the Lord showed me a revelation about hell and gave me a warning to the world,I shared it in my church at the time, but now that God has enabled me to blog, i ll share it in my blog for He who is ready and willing to listen to what the Spirit of God is saying.
it really mindboggling how each day passes by and the world does not take notice of how time flies. and all we are concerned about is ourselves and what we can get from life, who is fit to be our friend, where we can and cannot go to and race issues. in the end God ll not ask our souls whether we are from America, europe, asia, Africa etcor wether we were rich or poor, sick or healthy, But a simple WHAT DID YOU DO WITH JESUS MY SON WHOM I SENT TO YOU?
Am also happy to know that there are real Christians out there who are really doing exploits for the Lord…what can i say!
just carry on the good work of the Lord that you are doing, your reward is in Heaven.
cheers and Godbless
