as promised.

So, there is no way to put this gently so I'm just going to say it:

Christianity isn't fire insurance.

There's more to being saved than just going to heaven when you die. If that's all being saved is then why are we still here? If being saved just saves you from hell then why didn't God reach down and pull you up to heaven the second you were saved? We are here for a reason. We are here to show the lost and dying world the hope we have. We are here to witness to others and make disciples of all nations.

Acts 1:8 says:

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Okay, so Jesus said that we will recieve power when the Holy Spirit comes on us. So when God says we need His power (not when we think we do) He will give us the strength so we don't do it on our own but He does it through us because if this was somethig that we could do on our own we would get the praise for it. But it's not, so all the glory goes to God. He goes on to say that we WILL be His witnesses. Not the few I've called or this group right here but everyone will be a witness for Christ. Now He may call some to different places but everyone is called to witness.

"in Jerusalem, in all Judea, and Samaria and to the ends of the earth" That means everywhere. Not just the places that are convienient but to the ends of the earth.

We have been called to tell everyone the good news of Jesus Christ. Answer that call.
