Why I Am Still Here On Earth
On the 15th of next month, we are going to invite our friends to a musical where the good news of Jesus Christ will be shared to them.
We have had many outreach events in the past, but before we move into the next, let's pause and ask ourselves some questions:
. Do I sincerely believe...that hell and heaven are real places?
. Am I utterly convinced...that hell and NOT heaven is where my unsaved friend is heading, and he or she can leave this world ANYTIME?
. Is it frankly my responsibility...that my friend does not know Jesus Christ?
I'm convicted that you and I are still here on planet Earth, not primarily because we have to take our O/N/A levels or Diploma or Degree, nor is it because we have a job to work for...nor is it because of good music, movies or any forms of relationships in our lives now.
Let's get real with life. Let's be honest.
There are few things in life which has eternal value. There are many which does not.
We only have a LIMITED amount of time here on Earth, and I am convinced that no normal Christian who knows the truth of these matters, will want to commit to live for things which has no eternal value. Why would you? Why would I?
When Jesus left the world, He left with the last words of commanding you and me to live for the one big eternal purpose: to reach out to the lost. And I sincerely believe that is the one reason why you and I are still here breathing on Earth, even though we are saved by Jesus Christ.
I'm going to bring a friend to this upcoming musical, and I'm going to be UTTERLY convinced when I pray that God will speak to my friend about Himself.
My friend's eternity may be changed because of this.
How about yours?
