We are responsible
Jesus said,
"Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:18-20
Charles H. Spurgeon said,
"We are not responsible to God for the soul that are saved, but we are responsible for the Gospel that is preached, and for the way in which we preach it" Charles H. Spurgeon.
As true believers in Christ we are responsible to present the gospel of Christ Jesus in word and in deed.
Francis of Assisi noted,
“Preach the Gospel at all times
and
when necessary use words.”
Francis of Assisi.
Whether you like it or not. If you claim to be a Christian, people are not just listening to your words but looking at your life.
You are Christ’s representative on this earth and it is through the lense of your words and deeds that people will see Christ.
To quote Francis of Assisi again,
"The deeds you do
may be the only sermon some persons will hear today"
Francis of Assisi.
Thus the question becomes, If you claim to be a true follower of Christ Jesus, what are your words and deeds telling people about God?
Please think about it.
