Luke
16:24 "And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and
send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool
my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame."
We
need to be shouting "FIRE!!" We need to be telling others of the fire
that is awaiting them if they don't know Jesus Christ as their personal
Saviour. We need to tell them of a beautiful place in Heaven that
awaits each one who accepts Christ as their Saviour...but they also
need to know of the terrible place that awaits those who don't.
There
is a literal Lake of Fire that God is going to cast the devil....his
angels...and each person who rejects the salvation that Christ is
offering them. Revelation
19:20 "And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that
wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had
received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image.
These both were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with
brimstone." Revelation 20:10 "And the devil that deceived them was cast
into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false
prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever." Revelation 20:15 "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."
If
our neighbor's house was on fire and there was any way we could go in
and rescue those still in the house we would do it. I don't think there
is a person reading this right now that wouldn't do all they could to
get to them and get them out of the fire.
There are millions of
people who are in that dangerous place in their own lives. There is a
fire that is getting closer and closer each day that goes by. We need
to yell "FIRE!!" and try to rescue them from that fire. We can't do the
saving...only God can do that with the water of His Word. That fire can
be extinguished for them in their lives and they won't burn forever if
they will simply believe what Jesus did for them when He died on
Calvary...repent of their sins and allow Him to come into their heart
and lives. But how will they hear if we don't tell them?
So get
out there and yell "FIRE!!" and give the gospel so they too can escape
that fire that awaits them if they don't get saved!! Someone yelled
"FIRE!!" to you when they shared the gospel with you didn't they?
