Obligation!

1 Corinthians 9:16 " For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea woe is unto me if I preach not the gospel!

As Christians,we have made a commitment to work on growing in our walk with God. The mission is ongoing, it doesn't stop after we have attended church a certain number of Sundays or read through the entire Bible a certain number of times. Of course, those things are important to being a disciple, but a bigger charge is that we not only believe in the Lord, but also believe the Lord and have unwavering faith in Him.  

Once we learn the Gospel, it is our responsibility to share it with all we see.We will want to share it, because it is such good news to us and everyone else. The Gospel is bigger than our failures, even when we fall short of perfection, we must remain steadfast and determined to believe the gospel and share it. To a dying world we might be the only glimpse of Christ they will see. We are ambassadors for Christ, there are no days off and there is no lunch break. Once you have been born you cannot be unborn, so we are to be a living witness for Christ at all times. When we minister to non-believers, we will sometimes be met with resistance, as Jesus and the apostles were. This should not discourage us from our unwavering loyalty.

With the weekend now upon us what  will we show the world?Will our weekend life bear witness to the Savior, or will we give in to the lust ,will and desires of the flesh? will we be a lighthouse or a stumbling block to a lost and dying world. Regardless of what challenges we are met with, or what failures occur, we cannot save others, only God can do that.We are only responsible for remaining true to our commitment to the gospel, and sharing it with all that we see.
