The Greatest Sin
"Someone asked: Will the heathen who have never heard the Gospel be saved? It is more a question with me whether we, who have the Gospel and fail to give it to those who have not, can be saved." - Charles Spurgeon
I can feel nothing but sorrow for the foolishness of men, in days past and days current, and surely in days to come. May we, as the body of Christ, be forgiven for having done so little to reach so many lost in this world over the centuries? If any ought to face the wrath of God, should it not be those who hold the truth of everlasting life, yet feel no need to share it with those who have no hope. I cannot help but feel that the church in it's history and it's current state today throughout much of the world, is guilty of a far greater sin in it's apathy than any ignorant unbeliever could ever commit. I feel as if I must beg forgiveness for the weakness of the body of Christ in days past and present, as I now cry out to Jesus that the future may not be so bleak for His bride.
