Evangelism: Only 10 Percent of World Born Again?


"Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" - 1 Corinthians 3:16


How many temples of false gods does the world have - can you hazard a guess? Less than 700 million I'm sure. And how many temples of the Living God does the world have? More than 700 million people in the world are born again - actually, close to a billion of us are born again. So who should call the shots? Of course, born again Christians.

Then why has this not happened till the time of writing this? Because of ignorance, theological differences, lethargy, lukewarm hearts, fleshly nature (not dying to self), unwillingness to unite and coordinate, etc. Basically, because of not using the mind of Christ that God has given to us at our new birth.

Our Saviour (and Lord) Jesus Christ has given us the following command in Mark 16:15...
"Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."

If every year, each born again person leads only 1 person to Christ, in 3.5 years, everyone will have been savedOn average, each Christian has to lead only 3.5 people to Christ. That's it! Maybe you need to preach the good news to many more.  You can sow the seed and someone else may reap the harvest. Your loved one might not believe your preaching but may receive the words of an unknown believer. Never mind - you got your loved one into God's Kingdom, right? That's what matters.

So let's go and evangelize - whether face to face, on Facebook or by sharing your personal testimony. Lead people to Christ by using this sample sinner's prayer.
