Acts 4:12 (KJV)
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
In the world today, there are several millions of Muslims, Buddhists, Hinduists and others in false religions, who are unsaved and heading to hell. There are also those in the occult or satanism and others who call themselves atheists. What does this piece of information tell you as a believer? It shows that several millions of people on earth have either not heard the gospel or have heard but not responded to it and are on their ways to hell fire, except the Church (you and I) do something tangible about their fate. We are God’s co-labourers and partners. Our mission is to preach the gospel to all creatures and to the whole world. Have we done that wholeheartedly and fully? If we have, why have so many souls perished and why are so many on their way to doom and damnation because they are not saved?
Evangelism is the heartbeat of God. One message these people need is that ONLY JESUS CAN SAVE. That truth is what they lack and that is what we need to preach to them and demonstrate to them. Often, people in this category have asked, “Tell me why I need your Jesus?” They believe they are fine where they are. You must approach them as Jesus did Nicodemus. Life does not end here. There is heaven and there is hell. Everyone will spend eternity in heaven or hell; there is no other place. Death is the key that opens the palace door of eternity, but death does not guarantee where you spend your eternity. It is who you serve truly and wholeheartedly while you are alive that determines that. Except you are born again (accept and serve Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour), you will not see the kingdom of God. Anyone who serves another God or being, outside Jehovah will have his or her portion in the lake of fire. No one (Muhammad, Bahai or any angel) can save you and me from eternal damnation, except Jesus Christ. The hundred years or more any mortal will spend on earth is an infinitesimal speck of what eternity stands for. Will you like to spend eternity in heaven? Accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour today. ONLY JESUS CAN SAVE.
Beloved, God saved you so that you can save others. The Great Commission is dear to His heart. You must win souls all over the world and make disciples of all nations. Until we successfully and satisfactorily accomplish the task of end time harvest, the Lord will not come. He is waiting for us to carry out the Great Commission fully and His return will happen. Can the Lord count on you?
