Summary
When we do the work of evangelism, when we think of our family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers who are not believers, we must recognize that there is no state of indifference. If they are not lovers of God, then they are haters of God. And it is important that we love them, but at the same time, strip them of their lies and their tactics to hide and suppress the truth.

Hey guys, real quick, before we get started, I have a small request.
00:00:03.340
If you've been blessed by our content and you like this show,
00:00:06.440
would you take just a brief moment and leave us a five-star review?
00:00:09.760
This is quite possibly the most effective thing that you can do
00:00:12.880
to ensure that this content gets out to as many people as possible.
00:00:20.820
Man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:30.000
It's important that when we do the work of an evangelist, when we think of our family members and friends and neighbors and co-workers who are unbelievers, who are not worshipers of God, we must recognize that there is no state of indifference.
00:00:56.840
If they're not lovers of God, then the word teaches that they are haters of God, that they hate him.
00:01:06.280
And it is important that we love them, but at the same time, we strip them of their lies and their tactics to hide and suppress the truth.
00:01:23.200
That's one of the best ways that we can love people,
00:01:25.940
is to not let them continue and get away with lies,
00:01:35.800
We must help them realize that they are responsible
00:01:39.860
and that right now they are actively, currently, presently
00:01:49.740
and that if they do not repent and believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ,
00:01:58.920
and they will stand before the great judgment seat of God
00:02:15.380
see on the one hand we must love our neighbor and the best way to love our neighbor is to give to
00:02:24.820
them the most precious thing we possess which is the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ but in our
00:02:30.660
love for our neighbor we must also remember that as we do the work of preaching and evangelism
00:02:36.280
we must also first and foremost love our God I remember that Stacey Craft once said in a sermon
00:02:44.020
that the gospel is not only the means of salvation for the lost,
00:02:56.080
That people are constantly and continually lying about our God.
00:03:03.760
We're saying, here's the free offer of salvation.
00:03:08.300
And we're saying, shut your mouth and stop lying about my God.

You say that he has a low standard, that he's not holy and perfectly righteous,
00:03:33.560
And there's a sense in which we must love the unbeliever,

00:03:36.600
And we must preach the gospel so that if God would be gracious,
00:03:41.740
And there's another sense in which we must perform the ministry of David
00:03:48.700
how dare you, you uncircumcised Philistine.

00:03:52.600
Today I will use your own sword and cut off your head
1.00
00:03:55.800
and I will feed your carcass to the birds.

00:03:58.840
You have defied the armies of the living God.

In a few moments, your flesh will be excrement on the windshields of people driving by.
00:04:20.880
We can talk about this, and I will present for you the gospel as a means, the only means
00:04:27.620
of salvation, but I will not tolerate your lies.
00:04:34.320
And I will not pretend to come down to some neutral plane where we reason with one another.
00:04:48.180
He must be granted by grace, resurrection, life.
00:04:50.860
And the gospel, not reason, but the gospel is the only power of God for salvation.
00:05:01.380
But real quick, before you go, do us a small favor, take a moment, and leave us a five-star review if you enjoyed the show.
00:05:08.880
This is undoubtedly the best way that you can help us get this biblically faithful content to as many people as possible.
