We often don't live out the great commission because we don't realize what is as stake when we don't. If we believe that there are people in the world who do not know Jesus, then we also know that their life will end in a physical and eternally spiritual death.

We can keep being nice to people and helping with their needs—and this is good and valuable—but it does not compare to helping someone recognize their spiritual need for Jesus and pointing them to salvation and eternal life.

Reaching the lost with the gospel can put us in uncomfortable situations, but these are the circumstances that are used by God to teach, challenge, and grow us. We are not guaranteed tomorrow—and neither are they—let's trust God and obey Him by sharing that Jesus loves them and has offered forgiveness and eternal life to everyone who believes.
