Having personally received the gift of salvation, you must decide what to do with God's life-giving message. Some choose to boldly share the 'good news', while others shy away and keep it to themselves.
But, the Lord ... desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. (1 Timothy 2:4)
Calvary's cross is an unattractive, intimidating, repulsive religious symbol in the mind of today's self-indulgent generation. It exposes man's wickedness, depravity, and undone condition.
Therefore, a common reaction to the Gospel of Jesus Christ is one of disdain toward the one who dares share it ... For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing. (1 Corinthians 1:18)
When an obvious opportunity to present the plan of salvation comes, many prefer to stay quiet for fear of the consequences. Criticism, ridicule, argument, and rejection can prevent believers from witnessing to the unsaved.
Spurgeon encourages us to do it anyway - When we preach Christ crucified, we have no reason to stammer, or stutter, or hesitate, or apologize; there is nothing in the Gospel of which we have any cause to be ashamed.
Paul expressed it this way ... I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth. (Romans 1:16)
Religion is man’s search for God ... the Gospel is God’s search for man. It must be shared with those who are lost.
