  Welcome back. This is Kimmy Miller of Woman at the Well Ministries,
• 0:04
  bringing you another Bible bit for you to enjoy.
• 0:07
  Everyone must hear the gospel. Today, as we journey through the scriptures,
• 0:12
  we are faced with a sobering question.
• 0:15
  What are we doing to help those we know who are lost hear about Jesus?
• 0:21
  Are we actively pursuing their soul, or are we sitting back and waiting,
• 0:26
  maybe even praying that someone else would reach out to our loved ones?
• 0:30
  Yes, we should pray for others to enlist in this charge to bring salvation to
• 0:35
  our lost loved ones, but we can't sit back, twiddling our thumbs and remaining
• 0:39
  idle while our loved ones plunge further and further down the road to destruction.
• 0:45
  Romans 10, 13-14 says, For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
• 0:51
  How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?
• 0:56
  And how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard?
• 1:00
  And how shall they hear without a preacher?
• 1:02
  Don't let the devil confuse you into believing only the called of God are preachers.
• 1:07
  Only the called of God are pastors, but all of us have been called to preach
• 1:12
  the gospel and to tell others about who God is and declare his saving power to all.
• 1:18
  Jesus said, and he said unto them, Go you into all the world and preach the
• 1:23
  gospel to every creature.
• 1:26
  He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not
• 1:30
  shall be damned, Mark 16, 15 through 16.
• 1:34
  Here we read two incredible truths. First, we have all been commissioned to
• 1:39
  tell the great story that God is the power and the glory, the Savior of the world.
• 1:46
  It is up to us to let all we know and all we can that Jesus saves and there
• 1:53
  is a heaven to gain and a hell to shun.
• 1:57
  Secondly, Jesus explains why we must tell others about him.
• 2:01
  He explains that without someone letting others know that Jesus loves them,
• 2:06
  died for them, is coming back for those who believe, and that Jesus wants them
• 2:11
  to believe, then all unbelievers will go to hell.
• 2:15
  Heaven is real and hell is just as real. When our feeble minds fully understand
• 2:20
  this truth, then we must be motivated to let others know about Jesus.
• 2:25
  There is no way that we could be okay with our loved ones spending eternity in hell.
• 2:32
  You can be sure your loved one is going to spend eternity somewhere.
• 2:36
  The question is, will it be heaven or will it be hell?
• 2:40
  For those in your circle of influence, you may be the difference.
• 2:44
  Your testimony and your witness may be exactly what they need to hear and see so they can believe.
• 2:52
  Most people don't read the Bible, especially those who don't know God or who
• 2:57
  haven't been exposed to a personal account of God's wonder-working power. So how will they know?
• 3:03
  You may be the bridge spanning the gulf between heaven and hell for the lost in your world.
• 3:10
  What are you doing to shine the light of Jesus into their lost lives and dark heart?
• 3:16
  We have been instructed to live our lives in such a way as to lead others to
• 3:20
  Christ by our actions, deeds, attitude, and our words.
• 3:25
  Friends, let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works
• 3:31
  and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
• 3:33
  Matthew 5.16 Jesus is coming back to receive those who believe and to take them
• 3:40
  to heaven to live eternally with him, John 14, 1 through 6.
• 3:45
  Those who do not believe will be cast into hell, Revelations 21, 8.
• 3:51
  Oh, my friend, make sure that everyone with whom you come into contact know
• 3:57
  of the saving grace of Jesus.
• 3:59
  Speak the name of Jesus and live the wonder-working power of Jesus with every breath you take.
• 4:07
  Make it a point to ask your friends, family, and those with whom you interact if they know Jesus.
• 4:15
  Lovingly introduce Jesus into all your conversations and purposely make sure
• 4:20
  that all you know are informed that they are sinners, Romans 3.23,
• 4:26
  in need of a Savior, John 3.16.
• 4:30
  And if they believe, truly believe, and ask him to save them, he will.
• 4:36
  Romans 10.13 Make sure they know that the wages of sin are death,
• 4:41
  but the gift of God, Jesus, is eternal life.
• 4:45
  Romans 6.23 Let them know, but God commendeth his love toward us,
• 4:51
  and that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
• 4:54
  Romans 5.8 Remember you are loved. Jesus loves you.
