Blessings from God’s Word

A bus driver became annoyed with his job because he had to wait seven minutes after every run near an open field which “litterbugs” had made an unofficial dump. He often thought that somebody should do something about the unsightly mess. One day he himself decided to get out and pick op some of the tin cans and other debris which were lying around. This improved things so much that he was eager to complete his route and spend all his free moments in cleaning up the area. When spring came, he was so enthusiastic about his project that he decided to sow some flower seeds. By the end of the summer many were riding to the end of the line just to see what he had accomplished by doing what he and others had only talked about before.
Apathy is a problem among the Lord’s churches today. Too often, too many became too uncaring. People die every day and go to hell, simply because too often, too many become too uncaring. As long as their future is assured, so what if their neighbor does not go to heaven. This is “their” problem. Is it “their” problem? Or is it really “my” problem.
Each person who fails to accept Christ as their Savior will spend eternity in Hell because of their decision to not believe in Christ as Savior. Isn’t that reason enough?
If Christ wanted that person to be saved, He would have provided an opportunity for them to hear the gospel. But, as one who was given that opportunity, is that excuse enough? The apostle Paul truly felt he owed a debt to all the lost who had never accepted Christ as their Savior (Romans 1:14) “I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.” All Christians today must continue to feel they owe a debt to the entire world.
