"The people to whom I am sending you are obstinate and stubborn. Say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says.' And whether they listen or fail to listen - for they are a rebellious house - they will know that a prophet has been among them."
Ezekiel 2: 4 & 5
Before Jesus ascended into heaven, he gave his disciples the Great Commission: "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature." (Mark 16:15) As a Christian, it's my mission to tell others what God has said and done. Will the hearers listen? That's not up to me, but at least they'll know they have been told.
In the next verse, in Mark, Jesus said, "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned." That is very plain, easy to understand. Will people listen?
As sinners, we are under a curse, a disease, called sin. We need a savior. God sent his Son, Jesus, as a baby in Bethlehem, to live among us and show us the way. He was without sin, able to sacrifice himself as the spotless Lamb of God, thereby breaking the bondage of sin and death.
Christ died for you. He rose again. He ascended into heaven where he sits at the right hand of God, the Father. He will come again to judge both the living and the dead. Repent of your sins today. Believe and be baptized in the name of Jesus and you will be saved.
