Deceived
And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment. – Hebrews 9:27
Just looking at the exterior of those around us it would appear that they
have little concern about what will happen when they die. By the way many are
living their lives it would appear they could care less about what comes after
life. Because of that, it is difficult for many of us to witness to the
apparently unconcerned. We know that the lost have been deceived but could it
be that the saved are being deceived as well?
Before you pass up your next opportunity to witness to someone there is
something you need to know. In a poll conducted for the Time Mirror Company it
was found, “More than four out of every five Americans
agree that we all will be called before God at Judgment Day to answer for our
sins.”
What does this mean? It means that those around us are much more open to
hearing about the Gospel than we have thought. It means that we should be more
aggressive in sharing the Gospel with others. It means that more can be saved
if someone shares with them the truth of eternity.
Are you the someone?
