4 Reasons Why We Need to Tell People About Jesus

These reasons were provided during a talk given at the Christianity Explored conference in Edinburgh on Saturday 21st February 2009.
  1. Grace - We know the awesome good news of the grace of Jesus and our desire is to share it (Romans 1: 5-6).
  2. Gehenna (the Jewish equivalent to the concept of Hell. The name derived from the burning garbage dump near Jerusalem) - We know he is the only way to salvation (Romans 1: 16-17). Imagine knowing there was a bomb on a plane before it takes off, disembarking unnoticed and watching the plane take off loaded with passengers destined to die.
  3. Glory - because like the apostle Paul our motivation is to see God alone glorified and we all know the chief end of man is 'to glorify God by enjoying him forever'.
  4. Godliness - because being Godly is not suppressing, but proclaiming the truth of Jesus (Matthew 28:19)
