The Sin of Silence

Why are we so silent about our faith in Jesus Christ? Why is it that vast numbers of believers have never shared their faith in Christ with anyone?

Silence can be golden, but not when it comes to sharing our faith in Christ with a lost and dying world. In fact, silence in this matter of evangelism is downright sin. If Jesus has commanded us to be a witness (Acts 1:8) and we don't obey, it is sin. "For he that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him it is sin." Isn't it a good thing to share our faith in Jesus with others? Isn't it a good thing to show someone how they can have their sins forgiven by the blood of Jesus? Well, if we don't do it, then it is a sin unto us! The sin of silence!

Be silent no more!
David
