Powerful words, yes, in the Bible, no. The statement is quoted from Phineas Bresee, founder of the Church of The Nazarene (SNU). These are wise words from the heart of a missionary, to the hearts of believers everywhere.
We are being called to share the gospel with every person we meet, and to be an example of Christ. Just like someone did for us. Whether you were raised in church or not, someone prayed with you that you would be saved and filled with the Holy Spirit. Wouldn’t you like to do that for someone else? Be a leader in sharing the gospel with those you meet.
In Mark 16:15 Jesus says to his disciples, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation (NIV). Don’t we owe it to our God to do His will, to be indebted to those who need the gospel and to reach out to them? After all, we are all called to do something to advance the kingdom of God. Being an example and sharing the gospel is the easiest thing we can do in our day to day lives.
