Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes and to all the people, saying, The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard. Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your GOD; and the LORD will repent Him of the evil that He hath pronounced against you. As for me, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as seemeth good and meet unto you. But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth the LORD hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears. (Jeremiah 26:12-15)
But we in the Church, just as Jeremiah did, are to take no thought for ourselves but trust GOD and obey His command to tell everyone we meet as we go the Good News that Jesus loves them and died in their place so they could have a new abundant life in Christ and forgiveness with GOD through the blood He shed on the Cross of Calvary. Unless we share this message of Hope, we have nothing of any eternal value to share. We can't be good enough, we can't do enough, we can't give enough to pay our sIn debt because we are sinful fallen humans who are separated from a Holy GOD because of our sIn. Jesus is the only Way, the Truth, and the Life, and there truly is no other way to the Father but by Him. Without Jesus Christ we are nothing, and destined to a devil's Hell.
But GOD is not willing that you should perish, and wants you to come to the knowledge of the truth through His Word. He desires a love relationship with you that is real and personal. He wants you to believe and receive Him by faith and be born again to a new life of discipleship and fellowship that is abundant and everlasting. He calls you to repent, that is surrender to Him on His terms and let Him live His live in you.
Be obedient to His Word and share Him with those you meet.
In Christ,
