How urgent is the Gospel
Of the 7 billion people in the world
°105 die every minute
° 6,316 die every hour
° 151,600 die everyday, majority of them die without knowing Christ our saviour
° 44,000 die everyday without hearing the gospel.
What's is Jesus' command to me?
That go and make disciples of all nations not selected ones to be noted and preach the gospel to all creation. Matthew 28:19 and Mark 16:15
How should I lead others to accept Christ?
° All have sinned and failed short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23
° The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus, Romans 6:23
° God gave us his Son Jesus to be crucified for our sins. He resurrected to give us new life.
° Whosoever shall confess and accept Jesus into their heart and call upon Jesus shall be saved. Romans 10:9-10
° There is no more condemnation for those who are in Jesus Christ. Romans 8:1
° You can give a short personal testimony of how you were saved
This is my testimony
The challenges in life led us astray to fall into a deep mess, disgrace and mocking in community I found myself fellow steemians, in fact things were very hard for me but now I'm saved by the blood of Jesus
Someone will ask what was actual wrong? In fact I can't even open my mouth to say it cause I hate it but I hope one day I will let it out.
