Where is the fear of God in this generation? When sharing the gospel we should have no fear except the fear of disobedience that commands us to proclaim it. The proclamation of the gospel is a simple task. “Jesus is the way to eternal life and He is the answer.” Nothing else needs to be elaborated, discussed, or defended. Jesus said if they receive the message then bless them and discipleship begins. However, if they refuse to accept the message “shake the dust off your feet and move on.” Again, no discussion or defense is necessary. Move on!
Too many times we believe we have something to do with the process of salvation in a lost person’s life. Jesus handled that task two thousand years ago. He said “if I be lifted up, I will draw men unto me.” The Holy Spirit is already at work on our Lord’s people. Our job is to lift Him up and witness His amazing work.
