WHO ARE YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS: Luke 10:27
Your family includes your immediate and extended family members: spouse, children, parents, siblings, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, in-laws, and relatives by marriage. Your friends include your colleagues at work, classmates, neighbours, business associates, social media contacts, and anyone you interact with regularly. These are people God has strategically placed in your life - people you have influence over and regular contact with.
Jesus is the Ultimate Source of Life No Jesus, no life, no hope, no eternity with God. Everybody on earth needs Jesus now and for eternity.
I. WHY PEOPLE NEED JESUS
He is the only way, the truth, and giver of life now and in eternity. John 14:6Jesus is the only source of living and enjoying life in abundance. John 10:10Anyone without Jesus will go to Hell and spend eternity in the lake of fire. John 3:16-18, Revelation 20:14-15
II. WHAT IS THE CHRISTIAN'S (YOUR) RESPONSIBILITY TO BRING PEOPLE TO CHRIST JESUS
Have compassion and burden for them to be saved. Matt 9:36, Rom 9:1-3Pray for them consistently and continuously to be saved. Rom. 10:1-3, 1 Timothy 2:1-4Be an epistle to them; live the Christ-like life before them. Matthew 5:14-16Witness Jesus to them continuously with strong persuasion. 2 Timothy 4:1-2, John 1:40-42Invite them to your church activities: Sunday Service, Bible Study, House Fellowship, Breakthrough Services, etc. John 1:43-46, John 4:28-30
CONCLUSION
We must do everything we can to win our family members, friends, neighbours, and associates to Christ. This is the greatest task before all of us. No Jesus, no life. Without Jesus in a person's life, they will suffer forever in eternity. You need Jesus, people need Jesus. Ezekiel 22:30, Isaiah 6:8
