Are your hands bloody?

My Pastor shared a great message from God yesterday and I want to share a portion of it with you this morning. Most followers of Christ realize how important it is to share the gospel message with others. The Lord makes it clear to us that for the unbeliever they will go to hell for their lack of faith. This should be our driving force to get the good news of Jesus to all we can for the Lord desires that none should perish. But have you ever considered what not sharing our faith will cost us? Read theses verses:



Ezekiel 3:16-19

A Watchman for Israel

16 And at the end of seven days, the word of the LORD came to me: 17 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. 18 If I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person shall die for his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. 19 But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul.



WOW! Ezekiel was the watchmen and spokes person for God. We are the spokes people of Jesus Christ. God would give a Word from His mouth and Ezekiel was to proclaim it and give warning. We have the Bible we are to proclaim it and warn others about hell! God told Ezekiel if he did not warn them to try and save their life their blood will be on his hands. God expects us to warn people to give them a chance to turn from their sin, if we do not we will be accountable for their blood. If Ezekiel did what he was told then his soul was delivered! If we do what we are told blessings await us in heaven!



Let me be clear here. For the believer today, if you don't share Jesus you won't lose your soul to hell. God assures us that once you call on Jesus you are His for eternity. But His Word also makes it clear we will lose blessings when we are not obedient in sharing the gospel and loving others!



So this morning, is there any blood dripping from your hands? Souls are hanging in the balance. That should give you something to chew on today, it sure has made me do some thinking!
