9th OF 9 REASONS WHY MEN DON'T SHARE THE GOSPEL
Seeing it is a duty that the King
has laid upon every man according to his ability to exhort and reprove in the
Great Commission work (Matt. 28:19-20), and with all possible diligence to labor
after the salvation of all about him, judge then whether this work be reasonably
performed. Where shall we find the man almost among us, that sets himself to it
with all his might, and that has set his heart upon the souls of his fellow man,
that they may be saved? Let us here, therefore, question what may be the causes
of the gross neglect of this duty, that the hindrances being
discovered may more easily be overcome.
Lastly; with some also their ignorance of the
duty hinders them from performing it. Either they know it not to be a duty,
or at least not to be their duty. Perhaps they have not considered much of it,
nor have been pressed to it by their teachers, as they have been to hearing, and
praying, and other duties. If this be your case who reads this, that mere
ignorance or inconsiderateness has kept you from it, then I am in hope now you
are acquainted with your duty, you will set upon this work given by Him with all authority in heaven and earth. (Matt. 28:18-20). For He is with us to the end of this work. And obviously this work is not finished for we are still here!!!
