Speak Up
Speak Up! Report Hazards!
So said the poster in a high risk area of a student workshop I was visiting. It got me thinking about our responsibility as believers to speak up when it comes to warning those around us as to the awfulness of leaving this world without Christ.
When it comes to eternity, hell is not just a hazard, but a dreadful reality. What are we doing to speak the gospel and warn souls as to what is ahead? John the Baptist on one occasion said, “Who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?” (Matthew 3:7).
When the Lord Jesus was here on earth He was constantly warning those within hearing of His voice. For example, He said, “I tell you…except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3). And near the end of His ministry He announced: “Now is the judgment of this world” (John 12:31).
Not only do we have the warning, but we have the remedy as well; the work of Calvary. Let’s speak up today!
