When those who are saved, just sit back and do nothing to bring lost souls to the kingdom of GOD; in essence, it could be likened to the person of the Elder Son in the parable of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-32), who, in spite of all he had, seemed never to be bothered about his lost brother, whilst his loving father, though apparently keeping quiet, was constantly crying within his heart and always on the lookout for a time or day when he would see his lost son again. No wonder when he finally turned up, he had to do everything in jubilation for the lost-but-found, whilst shutting his ears to the mourning of the seemingly selfish elder son.

Indeed there is nothing pleasing to do for our loving Father than win souls. It gives Him great joy, honor, and glory. No wonder the Bible calls such people wise. (Proverbs 11:30) Our Lord affirmed this truth too in John 4:34 when he said, "My meat is to do the will of my father and to finish his work." Therefore, what else on earth can supersede this act of evangelism then? Perhaps there is nothing.

Also, knowing that whatever we do for God does not go unnoticed and it shall certainly be rewarded by the Lord himself, here on earth as well as in heaven (1 Corinthians 15:58), every one according to his measure (Matthew 16:27-28), it is vital that every Christian takes this mantle seriously, if indeed S/he is to be truly called Christlike. “If you are my disciples, you will obey my words" (John 15:14), and those who truly love God keep His commandments. (1 John 5:3) Remember one of His final commands before ascension? This Gospel must be preached to all the nations. Go into the world and preach the gospel to every creature. (Mark 13:10 / Mark 16:15)

Here at FOUNTAIN OF LIFE, BRAINTREE, we like to emulate our Lord Jesus Christ in evangelism, as well as honor his love for us, as He did to the Father, love unto death on the cross, so we could be saved. Hence, since we have been saved to serve, we believe necessity has been laid upon us (1 Corinthians 9:16) to reach out to others too with the same Gospel of Jesus Christ, through outreaches on the streets of our local towns, home/house visits when necessary, and tracts handing out on a regular basis, i.e., Saturdays, in addition to other forms of witnessing at home or places of work with our lifestyle. We believe everyone deserves to be saved, regardless of his/her past, for God loved the world that he gave his best—his son, Jesus Christ—and that whoever believes in him must be saved and not perish. (John 3:16)

May the Lord, Almighty, bless you mightily as you labor in His vineyard. If you haven’t started yet, start today, for tomorrow might be too late.
