WHY YOU CARELESS ABOUT PREACHING THE GOSPEL! (Pt 1)
Every christian's MANDATE is to preach the gospel. Bible called us to evangelize. Evangelism is at the heart of the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19–20). Christians are called to be witnesses of their faith to a watching world (Acts 1:8). But many Believers do all church activities but share their fath. Why is it so?
If a believer is not not motivated enough to share his or her faith, the obvious reason could be because that believer is a FAKE convert.
A fake convert is a believer who believed without hearing the Gospel. There are many of such Believers today, expecially in this era where many churches have attempted to make church sermons more marketable for modern sensibilities. The gospel, which is about Jesus Christ , his death, burial and resurrection, what it did for humanity and how everyone can benefit from it ( 1 Cor 15:1-4) ( 2 Jn 1:9-12) is being compromised. Preaching about sin, judgment, hell, and salvation through Jesus alone is not emphasized as much as messages about how Christianity can make our lives better—improve our marriages, help us raise our kids, and assist us in eliminating bad habits. The pragmatic has replaced the theological in many churches. This brand of Christianity may appeal more to a postmodern world, but it fails to confront people with the truth of their sin and their need for salvation available in Jesus alone. Souls are won not through promises of a better life in the here and now but through the power of the gospel as the only solution for our sin.
Could it be your lack of motivation to preach the gospel is because you are a fake convert? Keep a date tomorrow as I write on Features of a fake convert. Remain blessed.
