The book of life - Share the gospel to others - Mark 16:15-16; Luke 10:20; Daniel 12:1; Revelation 20:15/3:5

 Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO COMPLAIN!!!

  I have written about "love our neighbors" and that this does not mean love as in a spouse, child, or relative.  It means to do for them as you would want to have done to you. 

   It is vitally important that we share the GOOD NEWS of salvation through JESUS CHRIST.  Why?  One, we need to share as told in the good book. Mark 16:15-16  And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe shall be damned".  And who said this?  JESUS said this.  

   And just why would we want to share the gospel with others?  So, they may be included in the "BOOK OF LIFE" which Daniel in the Old Testament mentions as well as this being mentioned in the New Testament.

    Luke 10:20 Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven.”   Daniel in the Old Testament wrote in 12:1 “Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued.

   Revelation 20:15 And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

  Revelation 3:5 He who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

  So, is it necessary to share and spread the gospel with others?  Indeed!!!  If we do not share with friends, family, and strangers (aka neighbors) then in essence we are telling them they can go to hell.

   Do not ask anyone if they know God or Jesus.  Most people do.  The important question to ask is "do you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ"?  Hindus, Muslims, African natives as well as other religions, all are aware of God or a god.  Share the good news, ask the relevant question, but so importantly LET THE HOLY SPIRIT LEAD YOU.  You cannot save anyone, but the Holy Spirit can open the door(s) and then just follow the lead the Spirit gives you. 

   So, is it important to share the gospel?  Yes, Jesus came not to condemn the world but to offer salvation to all.  This is done by sharing the Good News with others.

   Thank you for reading today.  May the LORD keep and bless you beyond your wildest dreams. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
