We are to share God’s Word

The word “forebear” means to hold back, refrain, or abstain from doing or saying something.
As Christians, we don’t want to allow any of those things when it comes to speaking God’s Word.
We desire for the Word to have free course in us and through us.
God wants us to share His Word with others. Somebody shared it with us, and it made all the difference.
Satan has attempted to suppress God’s Word in His people for quite some time. It happened in the early church, and his attempts are still evident today.
Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. The devil doesn’t want God’s Word to go forth because it has potential to free people from his grasp.
The gospel has power to translate humans from darkness into the Kingdom of God and His light.
That’s why Satan fights it tooth and nail. He doesn’t want the captives set free.
But God says to His people to preach the word, be instant in season and out of season.
God has placed on us the responsibility of warning others about the pending doom without repentance and a born again experience in God.
Thank God for His grace that came by Jesus Christ.
When we’ve experienced it, we desire to go tell it on the mountain and proclaim it from the rooftops. Jesus saves; Jesus saves.
We use wisdom and are led by the Holy Ghost in proclaiming every bit of God’s truth.
Obviously, the devil doesn’t like it.
The devil used the Jewish leaders of the day to try to hinder the early church’s progression. That comes as no surprise.
“And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto more than unto God, judge ye. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.” – Acts 4:18-20.
Similar efforts to suppress God’s Word occur today. It is so dark in the world today that more and more limitations are coming into effect.
But we still must be able to say that we ought to obey God rather than men.
Regardless of the devil’s tactics, men’s souls hang in the balance.
God will require of us what we’ve done with His Word. Will we be obedient or cave to societal pressures that will likely increase with time?
The warning must be sounded in this sinful and adulterous generation.
Surely we would try to stop someone from driving off a cliff if we could. We can.
“If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain; If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?” – Proverbs 24:11-12.
God will render to every man according to what he has done. That’s why we don’t want anyone’s blood on our hands. It is a huge responsibility in our service to God. Our hearts should desire to warn out of concern for the soul.
“When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.”
Paul said it this way in Acts 20:26-27: “Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.”
Paul kept nothing back from God’s Word that was profitable for the people.
Joy and rewards await those who win souls through God, and the rejoicing exists between them.
“And he that reapeth receives wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.” – John 4:36.
