Friday, May 14, 2021 The Best Recommendation "Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin" (James 4:17 NKJV). I'm opinionated about everything. For instance, if you're going to a restaurant that I'm familiar with, I'll have an opinion about what you should order. And if you're like me, when you're thinking about trying out a new restaurant, you'll go online to see whether other people recommend it. A recommendation carries weight, doesn't it? Now let's take that idea and apply it to sharing the gospel. What if you were to say to someone, "Here's the best thing you can do for life and eternity: believe in Jesus Christ"? We're willing to talk about our favorite restaurants, but are we willing to talk about Jesus? To not share the gospel can be a sin because there are sins of commission and sins of omission. Sins of commission include breaking a commandment, crossing a line, or doing a wrong thing. On the other hand, sins of omission involve not doing the right thing. The Bible says, "Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin" (James 4:17 NKJV). So how could failing to share our faith ever be a sin? |
