"Why Will I Stand Condemned?"

      Over the past few weeks I have heard at least four thought provoking and I might say . . . convicting . . . lessons. 

     I have heard one speaker tell of the seemingly perfect Christian he was during his early years, yet knowing if he died then he would stand condemned.

     I have heard another preacher repent from the pulpit and tell of the prayers he needed so as not to stand condemned.

     I have heard another young preacher speak of a command which many see as a suggestion given by God.  This command if disobeyed will leave me to stand condemned.

     And last night I heard another speaker paint the picture of the condemned conversing in hell as to why they had received the eternal death sentence.  Oh, some were speaking of acts they had committed: robbery, murder, lying, and so on and so forth.  But many of these condemned drop their heads and speak of the things they did not do that lead to their eternal demise.  Among these one answer stood out:

I DID NOT LOVE MY FELLOW MAN ENOUGH TO TELL HIM OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST!

     You see the words to love thy neighbor as thyself; to love the Lord God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength; and to teach the gospel to every creature are not suggestions

THEY ARE COMMANDS

WHICH IF NOT OBEYED WILL LEAVE ME TO STAND CONDEMNED!!!!

     Each of the men mentioned above were speaking of the same thing: evangelism.  I stood convicted.  What about you?
