Many Christians in churches have fallen in sleep, thinking that becoming born again is the final stage. Wake up friends! The Incorruptable Crown is prepared for you. Men and women who, without hesitation, would risk their own lives by running into a burning house to save someone are often so intimidated by the fear of rejection, or the uncomfortable feeling of not knowing exactly what to say, that they will not talk to people about Jesus. Yet the end of someone who is not saved is exactly the same as a person trapped in a burning house—death by fire. Although not everyone is called to be an evangelist, everyone is called to “tell the Good News.” Witnessing to others can be challenging, intimidating, and occasionally risky because the hearer is not always appreciative. God knows this and rewards those who make the effort to win others to Christ by giving them the crown of rejoicing. The crown of righteousness is given to those who “love his appearing”. There are Christians who are so well adjusted to this world that it really does not make much of a difference to them when Christ comes back. They are usually healthy and have comfortable lives, and they do not see how the Lord coming back would really help them. There are also Christians who do not have a strong desire to live a godly and obedient lifestyle, perhaps because doing so will bring them persecution (“In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will bepersecuted”—2 Tim. May the Lord send His angels before you to prepare your way and behind you, to be your rear guard, in Jesus name. Amen
