ONE HEARTBEAT AWAY - PART 122

                                          ONE HEARTBEAT             AWAY

      PART 122


(copied from Mark Cahill's Book)

Now that you are a follower of Jesus Christ, it 
is time to fish for men. 

"And He saith unto them, 'Follow Me and I
will make you fishers of men,' "
(Matthew 4:19)

Someone once told me that if you are not fishing, you are not following. Let me repeat that: If you are not fishing for the souls of men you are not following Jesus the way He commands you to follow Him. It is time for us to reach the lost. It is time to make sure that no one dies and goes to hell for all eternity. It is time to take your light to a very dark world and let it shine very brightly.

Jesus said that we are the salt of the earth. Salt makes people thirsty. People should see our lives and hear our voices and be thirsty for Jesus and Jesus alone. 

"For the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost."
(Luke 19:10)

Jesus said  that we are to seek and save that which was lost. If it is important to Jesus to reach the lost, it ought to be important to us to do the same. There can't be a simpler command than that. We are to preach the gospel to every person God leads us to. We are here to make disciples.    We are to plant seeds in hearts that God has prepared and then He can make the seed grow. We are here to plunder hell and populate heaven. 

Charles Spurgeon said:

"The saving of souls, if a man has once gained love to perishing sinners and His blessed Master, will be an all absorbing passion to him. It will so carry him away, that he will almost forget himself in the saving of others. He will be like the brave fireman, who cares not for the scorch of the heat, so that he may rescue the poor creature on whom true humanity has set his heart."
