Our Responsibility — Part 2
Many souls are headed for a lost eternity in hell. Should we as believers be indifferent to the needs of those about us? If a child were to step out into a busy street, certainly we would try to rescue it! If our neighbor’s house were on fire and he were asleep inside, would we not do everything in our power to try to warn him of his danger? Yet many of our neighbors and friends, and perhaps even family members, are in greater danger than that of being on a busy street or in a burning house. They are asleep in their sins, indifferent to where they are going when they leave this world, and are in danger of losing their souls for eternity! It is indeed our responsibility to faithfully and lovingly warn them of their lost condition!
The Apostle Paul could say, “Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men” (2 Corinthians 5:11).
He also stated: “For necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel” (1 Corinthians 9:16).
What are we doing about our responsibility?
