What have we really got to lose? We know that we have a relationship with God and what a difference He has made in our lives and we see all these people desperately searching for answers in life and we still don’t tell them about God. What are we afraid of are we afraid people won’t like us anymore? Well that hasn’t always been my experience. We sort of skirt around things sometimes in the fear of treading on peoples toes. We may tell them a little bit about church and how good it is, and that we have lots of great friends there. We might even tell them that we pray, but do we tell them that they too can have an experience of, and a relationship with God? Do we tell them that we were created to worship and have a relationship with Him and that He can forgive us ALL of the wrong things we have done, take away the guilt and give us a brand new life? We need to tell people the gospel pure and simple, with no added extras and with nothing taken away. It’s not easy I know because people lives are at stake, but don’t we really want people to become followers of a loving Jesus who cares so much for us that He died for us and longs to have and relationship with us. He has a plan for each one of us and so many people are missing out on that plan just because we Christians don’t tell. Don’t be afraid, be bold, I struggle too to come straight out with it, but I really wish I would be more honest with people, and God will do the rest, all we have to do it tell.
