I think one of the greatest motivations for sharing the gospel is that there is a place called Hell. I say to people, “if there is a Heaven, then there must be a Hell.” Warning people of the terror and wrath of God to come is to me a great motivation to tell people, not only of the wrath of God, but His great love for them in sending His Son. I think 2 Corinthians 5:11 says it best, “ Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men….”  In Romans 2:5 we read, “But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God.”  The last verse I read before I came to faith in Christ was Hebrews 10:31 that says, “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” Knowing that God is Holy, and Righteous, and would one day judge me, I repented of my sins and came to faith in Christ. The bible tells us why men do not come to Christ. Romans 3:18 says, “ There is no fear of God before their eyes.” I think people must know of the “wrath to come” before they will ever flee to the safety of the Savior. Without the fear of the Lord, the “good news” of the gospel is just news to them.

I hope everyone is having a good New Year so far. If you have not chosen a devotional book to read this year, I would like to suggest the one I will be using. The book that I’ve chosen is At the Throne of Grace A Book of Prayers by John MacArthur. This is a great book not only on prayer, but a good study of the Word of God. Please pray for the ministry as we start a new year serving the Lord and your possible involvement with the ministry. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to go out and share the gospel this year. We will also be starting a new class to teach people how to share the gospel in a non-threatening way, and to know what you believe and why you believe it. I am excited about this coming year and look forward to all that God is going to do!
