I think it honestly goes hand and foot for us all. So, we know some truths of the Truth which is Christ. We should, when the Lord lets us know, be testifying to everyone around us (everyone being the Christian world) of the things we have "seen".
I can see such justice in the Lord letting the "bent-on-hellers" know what they've condemned too many to. What if were ressurrected into a judgment that was our own. What if we thought lots of folks were going to hell for this or that, but we ended up there.
Why does this go hand and foot for all? Well, the Lord knows all of our hearts at every given moment of our God given breath. So, if it is His will that I believe in Hell , at this moment of time in my life, and I think it is the Lord who sent me out on this Great commission to tell all sinners, Why am I not doing that with all my TIME? Most Christians can not, RATHER WILL NOT give you an answer. They just stare me down.
Always show them how physical they really are. Use a physical burning house as your example.
"So, this house is burning as you are walking past it. There are people yelling in and out of the windows to help them escape this fiery hell hole they are in. Would you help them in ANY WAY possible?" Most folks always say something like, "Yes, I'd help if I had a way."
"So, if you would help that person physically out of that physical house, why don't/won't you help all those sinners you see who are going to spend all ETERNITY burning and yelling and suffering, with just a little of your time, and WARN them of the incoming dangers to their lives?" It is amazing but most folks will then say something like, "Well, I can't know who is saved or not already just by looking at them, and that's a lot of work, I"VE DONE IT, and the Lord already knows their condition, so he'll send those who need help to me." I tend to think that's gonna be hard sitting on the sofa at home watching T.V.
I think it is hand and foot for us though too. We learn some Truths and are MORE accountable to tell folks of those truths. Others are there for our benefit so that we know who is who. We are to testify against, not witness to, those who the Lord has placed in front of us who speak those lies. It all comes down to if we are believing our Father is in control of all or not. Many stripes and few stripes. How many stripes you get is up to what YOU choose to do with what YOU'VE been given as truth.
I don't think the Lord wants any of us on our behinds doing nothing, and for me, that is the worst "Christian" of all, the ones who are doing NOTHING at all. At least hell-thumpers who are active in what they believe to be true, are much more respectable to me, than those who go into a service every set number of days, pay a tithe, and leave cause their "duty" is done. We need to be producing fruit of the spirit, and I do not believe that just happens reading the scripture on your own in a closet. We should be testifying to those in the Church of her ways, and letting the Lord put more of the elect in our paths to help along their way on their walk. Of course, that's all just my opinion.
Later all.
