AN ETERNAL FLAME: SPREAD IT!
It is easy to determine when something is aflame.
It ignites other materials. Any fire that does not
spread will eventually go out. A
church without evangelism is a
contradiction in terms, just as a fire
that does not burn is a contradiction.
In Romans 1:14-15, Paul speaks of an obligation
and an eagerness he has to teach the Gospel to
Rome. Paul had a faith that was so powerful and so
on fire that he could not hold it in. Why are we not
like that today?
When I was a young boy, I always wanted to
play in my uncle’s pond. However, whenever I
would get in it, I would feel disgusted and want to
get out of it right away. It was because the water
was stagnate and algae grew all over the surface and
on the bottom. When the church no longer has the
fire to reach out and bring others in, it becomes like
that stagnate pond. John 7:37-38 says, “On the last
day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and
cried out, If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and
drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has
said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living
water.’” Jesus explains here that he is the source of
living water, not a stagnate pond.
As Christians we need to follow Christ and his
example that he has given us. We need to bring
others to that living water. If we do not evangelize
to the lost, they will never want to get in the water.
They will see us as nothing more than a dirty pond.
We cannot be scared to share the Gospel to
everyone we see. Romans 1: 16-17 says, “For I am
not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God
for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew
first and also to the Greek. For in it the
righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith
as it is written, 'The righteous shall live by faith.'”
As we press on, throughout the time, with which
God has blessed us on this earth, let us remember to
share that living water and branch out, like a river,
to all who are lost. As Paul says in 2 Corinthians
4:1, “Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy
of God, we do not lose heart.” Let us continue to
work every day for Christ and have a faith that is so
on fire that it ignites all around us.
