Today we are witnessing a dramatic “falling away”, beloved; the church is slipping into apostasy at such a rapid rate and it is truly alarming! Not only are people letting go of the truth (in terms of proclaiming God’s morality), but they are actually denying and contesting the foundational tenant of the Christian faith: that Jesus is the only way to God and eternal life. Many are being deceived; thinking, “What about that innocent person in Africa that never heard the gospel? Is God really going to send that person to Hell?” Here is my answer: God is not going to send any innocent person to Hell. The man in Africa that has never heard the gospel is not innocent. It is not his rejection of Jesus (whom he had never heard of) that’s sending him to Hell; it’s his sin. You must get this; he knew right from wrong. He is without excuse because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them (Romans 1:19). Beloved, this is why God sent His only begotten Son. Without Jesus there is no hope, without Jesus there is no salvation; that is the whole foundation of the gospel. We are all without excuse.

Paul says in Romans 10:14: How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? Beloved, we need to recognize that it is not just a small benefit for those living in the countries that we are preparing to go to in boldness; proclaiming the “Good News” (see Crusade Report). Please hear me: these are dire consequences, truly life or death situations; without Jesus, people go to hell.

There is no way to Heaven but through the Lamb of God, there is no one who is worthy (Acts 4:12). We need to realize that it is our mission to bring the gospel of light and salvation to the utter most parts of the earth. Jesus’ last words to the church are called “The Great Commission”: And He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. These signs will accompany those who have believed…’ (Mark 16: 15-17). Miracles! Let’s pray for miracles, for salvations, and for the preaching of the gospel to be followed by signs and wonders!
