Burdened: For Others
from The Trailside Church Channel · host Trailside Church
Many Christians have lost their passion for sharing faith not because they've lost faith itself, but because they've lost the burden for others. The apostle Paul demonstrates how deep Gospel security actually increases our anguish for the lost. He felt such intense sorrow for his unsaved kinsmen that he would willingly take their hell so they could have his heaven. This burden isn't guilt - it's love awakened in someone who truly knows Jesus. God has entrusted the Gospel message to us, making our role in salvation clear: we invite, build relationships, and point others to Jesus while the Holy Spirit does the converting. The empty chairs in our churches and at God's table don't have to stay empty forever.
