"Yet, if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul." - Ezekiel 3:19 NKJV
This is a powerful message the Church needs to hear. We as believers need to warn people that do not have a personal relationship with Jesus as their Lord and Savior, to repent with asking for forgiveness and trust in Jesus or the will be eternally separated from God.
"Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man that the righteous should not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; also you will have delivered your soul." - Ezekiel 3:21 NKJV
I went downtown on St. Patrick's Day to do just that, and warn sinners about the judgment to come on my lunch break. I felt so nervous and prayed the whole way there, just knowing that there would be divine encounters. As I proceeded to hand out ice breakers (gospel tracts are for people not places) to people I could feel the Lord really helping me get out of my comfort zone. As mobs of people dressed in green approached it was interesting in the different responses I got. One group would say "thanks", another would yell out"what the heck is this"?
"Him [Jesus] we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus." - Colossians 1:28 NKJV
I got into a conversion with a man who wanted to know what I was handing out, and as I gave him one he asked what it was. Well I told him what I tell people when they ask, its a Gospel tract sir. He didn't what what that was, so I told him the Gospel is good news on how you can get to Heaven. He smiled but still wanted to know that a tract was.
That made me laugh a little bit because I don't think I had ever been asked that question before. I explained to him that it's information, and information on how he can get to Heaven. Then he said he already knew of a way to get to Heaven, but was open to another. (There is only one way... Jesus said it in John 14:6) How interesting, he took the ice breaker (gospel tracts are for people not places) and as he turned to walk away he told me that he would read it and thanked me. And here I was really hoping it would be pouring rain just to keep everyone away from the bars and got to plant a seed.
"Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears." - Acts 20:31 NKJV
A man who was wearing a green top hat walked by me and it looked like he was carrying a Bible with one of those Bible cases enclosing it. Before he could step off the street and into a coffee joint I handed him a ice breaker (gospel tracts are for people not places) and as he start to read it he put his head down into a sluggish stance. I could tell something wasn't right, and as he walked away not even going into the coffee shop I begin to pray for him too. Lets keep praying for the Gospel to radically impact this town for Jesus Christ.
"I do not write these things to shame you, but as my beloved children I warn you." - 1 Corinthians 4:14 NKJV
Check out this awesome poster, it is to remind us of our sobering task to "save others by snatching them from the fire," as written in Jude 1:22-24.
