If they never heard,
If they have never heard of Jesus, why tell them? We will just make their lives worse if they don’t accept Him as their Lord and Savior. Is it true?
We have all heard this or maybe believe it ourselves. I’ve also heard “I’m a good person and I do what is right”. Let’s say that a person had a vision of a being dressed in bright white. This same person lived a good honest life and worshiped an “unknown god”. Would this person be saved? No.
In God’s creation we can see that we are not here by chance. God is revealed in all He has divinely made.
“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities- His eternal power and divine nature- have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.”
Romans 1:20 clearly states that there is no excuse for not acknowledging God. Job 38:1-41 expounds on this more. And Acts 17: 22-34 describes religious men worshiping idols and having an altar to an “unknown god”, all of which, Paul warns, are futile. God’s creation was made so that men would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him. By grace and through faith, the only way to be saved is through accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
But God chose His people to GO tell them about who it is they are seeking! The Great Commission is repeated five different times in Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Acts. God is telling Christians how He wants His secret revealed. Jesus said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, GO and make disciples of all nations (people groups), baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20.
“…I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.” Acts 26:17-18.
It is our duty to share the message of God. He has called all believers to spread His Word to all people. We have received the command. It is now a matter of choice to be obedient. Do we share with the lost the peace and grace that we have now or do we let them suffer now and forever? This is why we go.
