Depending On You

We are unprofitable servants; see if we are not. A good business contractor would not hire men to carry cement and sand on their backs a hundred miles to build a house when he could ship it on a railroad car to the spot; it would be unprofitable. God could use angels to tell the millions of Earth about Jesus; but He has chosen an unprofitable method and shut Himself up to us to do it. Listen!....They are depending on you. If you do not tell the folks in your circle, who will?

Do you know the Gospel of this great salvation? Do you talk a “DO” religion to people, or do you tell them what has already been done for them by Christ Jesus? Do you tell them that their sin—all of it, even if it were murder—has been paid for by the death of Christ when “He became sin for us”? Do you tell them that His payment becomes good for them, too, when they believe He died for their sin and believe that they were the ones for whom He died, and that when they believe Christ’s death settles forever the sin question, they are ready to receive a new life?

Do you tell them that if they believe Christ died for them, then they are without a life, for He put their old life to death on the cross? They must have life, and God’s Word says, “The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Yes, He loved me and gave Himself for me. Ask them to take Himself as a gift. He will come into their hearts and give them a new life. They will be born again, joint-heirs with Jesus Christ their Lord.

If they really believe, they will know they are born again, for His “Spirit beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.” Do you tell folks all this? This is the good news of salvation, or the Gospel. Do you dare to tell it? If you do, it will spring up like wheat in a field, into newness of life in ready hearts.

Your experience is good, and you should tell it, for it glorifies God; but your experience will not save people. The Gospel will. Tell it. Paul said, “I am not ashamed of the gospel,...for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth.” Oh, go and tell it to the next one to you!
