remember this: Whoever
turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover
over a multitude of sins. James 5:20
What a wonderful thought- that I may save a sinner from
everlasting death. This can happen if I bring that person back to the truth.
This is the calling of every Christian.
When Christ and His love took possession of our hearts,
He gave us this love that we might bring others to Him. This is how Christ's
kingdom is extended. Everyone who has the love of Christ is constrained to tell
others. In the early Christian Church people went out and shared the love of
Christ. Secular writers have told us that the rapid spread of Christianity in
the first century was because each convert tried to bring the good news to
others.
What a change has come over the Church! Many Christians
never try to bring others to Christ. May the time soon come when Christians
will feel constrained to share the love of Christ.
In a revival in Korea the converts were filled with such
a burning love for Christ that they felt bound to tell others of His love. It
was even taken as a test of membership that each one should have brought
another to the Lord before being admitted to the church.
