Let's Go Back to the Bible

The next person you see is lost!

With very few exceptions, every one of us is surrounded on a daily basis by individuals whose souls are lost in sin and separated from God! Take a moment to look around you right now — the next person you see is lost! It’s not only true that he was lost and that he will be lost, but the truth is that he IS lost…right this very moment! Does that create in you any concern for that person? Do you feel any sense of obligation to take  what you know and share it with him?

The gospel is for “every creature” (Mark 16:15), because God wants “every creature” to be saved (1 Tim. 2:4) and sent Jesus to give His life as a ransom for “every creature” (1 Tim. 2:6). The Lord could have chosen any method He desired to convey and spread the message of salvation to the lost, and the method He chose exclusively was to entrust the saving gospel into the hands of His children to willingly and joyfully and unashamedly tell to others.

The next person you see is lost! What will you do?
