✝️ Sharing Your Faith is Not an Option

🎯 A Guarantee You Can Count On

Here’s a guarantee no one can afford to ignore. Do you like guarantees? Well, this one’s etched in eternity:

If your loved one, friend, or co-worker dies in their sins without knowing Jesus, they will spend forever in hell.

Eternity isn’t just a long time.
It’s forever, my friend.
There are no do-overs. No second chances. No parole. No appeals.

It’s a done deal.
You didn’t warn them. And now they’re in hell.
Separated from God forever. That’s it. That’s the outcome.

Let that sink in—forever really means forever.

And you can’t pray them out. You can’t light a candle or buy an indulgence.

Their chance came and went. 

Don’t blame yourself. They still made their choice.
They knew rebellion carried consequences.
But here’s the real question:

What if you could’ve changed the outcome? Would you?

Because if you’re a Christian, you do have that kind of influence.
God entrusted you with the message that can rescue them.
You carry eternity in your mouth. 

🔥 The Sobering Reality of Eternity

The Reverend Jonathan Edwards (1703–1758), one of the leading voices of America’s Great Awakening, didn’t water down this reality. In his legendary sermon, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, he warned of judgment with haunting clarity:

💬 "The wrath of God burns against them, their damnation does not slumber; the pit is prepared, the fire is made ready, the furnace is now hot, ready to receive them... and the pit hath opened its mouth under them."

Terrifying? Yes. But also biblical. And true.

Edwards wasn’t trying to manipulate emotion—he was trying to awaken a spiritually dead generation to the eternal consequences of sin. The fear he stirred wasn’t theatrical—it was the trembling response of hearts exposed to divine holiness.

Imagine someone you deeply care about—your spouse, a close friend, or a neighbor—dies without ever hearing about Jesus. You had opportunities. But maybe you stayed silent. Maybe you were embarrassed... didn’t know what to say... or thought, “That’s the pastor’s job.”

Now imagine this in eternity:

💬 “Why didn’t you tell me? You knew! You knew about hell…
You knew Jesus loved me…
You knew He died to save me…
And you didn’t say a word?”

Hell is real. And as the late Reverend Billy Graham warned:

💬 "Hell is a place of sorrow and unrest, a place of wailing and a furnace of fire; a place of torment, outer darkness, and everlasting punishment. Don’t ask comedians for truth. The Bible tells you the truth."

❤️ The Biblical Mandate: Love Your Neighbor to Heaven

Jesus made it simple:

📖 “Love the Lord your God... and love your neighbor as yourself.” —Matthew 22:37–39

If you truly love your neighbor, you won’t keep the truth from them.
Real love doesn’t turn a blind eye to someone’s eternal destiny—it reaches out, even when it’s inconvenient or uncomfortable.

Sharing the Gospel is not just a duty; it’s the ultimate expression of compassion.

King David declared:

📖 “Each day proclaim the good news that He saves. Publish His glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things He does.” —Psalm 96:2–4

The Apostle Paul put it plainly:

📖 “Preaching the Good News is not something I can boast about. I am compelled by God to do it. How terrible for me if I didn’t!” —1 Corinthians 9:16

Jesus Himself commanded us:

📖 “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.” —Mark 16:15

💔 Silence Isn’t Love… It’s Tragedy 😢🕊️

You may be their only chance to hear.

If you know the truth—share it boldly. 

This isn’t optional. It’s a divine assignment.
But it’s more than that—it’s an honor.

☁️ Why Share the Gospel? Because Heaven Is Real—And It’s Worth It

Why share the gospel? Because living forever in the joy of heaven is a whole lot better than suffering forever in the torment of hell. It really is that simple.

Listen, my friend—everyone already knows that heaven will be amazing. By now, you’ve probably heard the descriptions: the new heavens and new earth… the dwelling place of God… the wall made of jasper… a city of pure gold, like clear glass. Twelve gates—each one a single pearl. Streets of gold that reflect His glory. And there's no need for sun or moon, because the radiant presence of God Himself lights up the whole place.

You’ve heard these things, right? Because we want to live in a place like that. And more than that—we want our family, our friends, and our neighbors there with us. Let's get 'em there. Let’s love our neighbor to heaven.

But there’s even more.

Heaven won’t just be glorious because of what’s there—it’ll be glorious because of what’s not. There will be no more evil. No more death. No more pain or suffering. Revelation 21:4 says:

📖 “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

Do you realize what that means? No more funerals. No more divorce. No more jail cells. No more wheelchairs or chemotherapy. No more suicide hotlines. No more broken hearts. All of it—gone forever.

And even that isn’t the best part.

The greatest joy of heaven will be perfect, unhindered fellowship with God. We will finally see Him face to face. We will worship without distraction. We’ll live in perfect peace, forever united with the One who saved us.

So yes—share your story. Because the hope of heaven is too beautiful to keep to yourself.

💬 Practical Ways to Share Your Story

You don’t need to be a Bible scholar.
You don’t need to memorize a script.
You just need to share your story—how Jesus changed your life.

Here are simple, Spirit-filled ways to share your faith:

✅ Live a Godly Life
Let your actions preach louder than your words. People notice transformed lives.

👂 Be a Listener
Jesus was a friend of sinners. Listen with compassion. When you understand someone’s heart, you can better reach it.

💊 Offer the Cure
People are desperate for peace, love, and healing. You know the cure: Jesus.

🧒 Keep It Simple
The Gospel is simple:
Jesus died for our sins.
He rose again.
Anyone who believes in Him will be saved.

❤️ Stress God's Love
John 3:16 still works:

📖 “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (NIV)

It’s not about fear. It’s about love.

👉 When people truly grasp the depth of God’s love, it disarms their defenses and awakens their hearts. You’re not pushing religion—you’re offering restoration. As D.L. Moody once said, “The world does not understand theology or dogma, but it understands love and sympathy.”
