Blood guilt

If I say to the wicked, O wicked one, you shall surely die, and you do no speak to warn the wicked to turn from his way, that wicked person shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, that person shall die in his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul.

I sometimes like to avoid verses like this because it provides a lot of conviction...

I can just hear Ray Comfort on "Way of the Master Minute" telling me to go share my faith while I still have time. I think on a whole, most Christians struggle here. Especially Christians who grew up in the Church. We don't see the power or necessity of evangelism. Those who came to Christ late in life from a life o complete darkness are much more eager to share the light. They know that one witness can save souls.

But we "lifers" are much more complacent. We don't know that power first-hand. Yes we know that power of God's grace. Yes we know that Christ changes lives. And deep down, we also know that the lost need us. But we still go about our days more or less in fear.

Maybe it's just me. I hope it is. But I reckon you feel it too...

Lord, help me to be bold. Give me urgency. Give me words to speak and places to speak them. Let me not shy away from opportunity, but let me boldly approach those in need of You. Let Your words be ever on my lips and Your Truth ever on my heart. Let me not forget the lost.

Amen. Amen. Amen.
