(1 Corinthians 9:16)
To the Apostle Paul, it was a privilege to preach the Gospel. Whether he was paid to do it, or not, it was his main responsibility It is the same with us as Christians. We are to share the Gospel message to those who are spiritually dying. Because Jesus has all authority in heaven and earth, He commissions us to "go and make disciples in all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. To teach them to obey all the commands I have given you..." (Matthew 28:19-20) The main call upon our lives as Christians, is to share the Gospel. Which in essence is the message that the sin debt for man-kind has been paid, by Jesus' death on the cross.
We have the hope of eternal life, because Jesus arose from the dead, and made a way for us to follow that same path. As we journey though this life, so many things become important. But those things can never be as important, as this call upon our lives. So many people are needing this message.
If they don't hear it from us, who will they hear it from? To have people leave this life without hearing the Gospel, is like a doctor, knowing what medicine will help, but never making the patient aware that it exists. How important was the Gospel message to you? Did it change your life? It must be the main thing, or lives will perish forever.
It is a call to share, because we care,
That those who are lost, will come to Jesus.
It is a privilege to bear, a priority to wear,
To share the Gospel to all who are lost among us. ---GP
