For me, sharing gospel is like a privilege. It is fully by the grace of God. Not everytime will the opportunity comes. I know that sometimes, I can't just share in a direct way. However, I want to learn to grab every opportunity given. I cannot do this by my own, I need God's grace. If only one soul is to be saved, it is better than none. I MUST say this: Jesus loves you.
Let me share about some of my feelings and anxieties before I accepted Christ. I often thought to myself: "Who am I?", "Why am I here?", "Why am I so weird?", "What can I do?", and one particular thought haunted me when I was a kid: "What is the taste of death? What will I see after I breathe my last?" and "Why do I live when I need to die someday?"
Like many, I went through many falling downs and some brokenness. They made me admit that I'm just a human being. They made me admit that I've done countless of wrongs and sins. Sins creep in when we don't realize it. Then, it begins to build up until at one point we mess up our lives. Wait, it doesn't mean that only stealing, robbing, killing, raping are called sin. Usually, when we say, "You've sinned!" to a person, we're expecting a furious stare, then a reply, "Neither did I kill nor hurt nor rob. You @#$%^&..."
Well, I remember I stole my classmate's colour pencils when I was in primary 1. I began to lie when I was like 3 or younger and continued to lie. People say that sometimes we lie for the benefit of others. But, lie is lie. Lying have brought me troubles and many broken relationships. The truth is, most people would not admit that things messed up because they themselves have sinned. Divorce, addictions, children running away from homes, sexual issues (adulteries, homosexuality etc), wars and yadda yadda... And so, people are in for a game called "The Blame Game". We hear, "It's not my fault, my husband has got a mistress", "My wife did not take care of my children", "She shouldn't have dressed up sexily"...
Don't we sometimes feel tired of a disorder world? What is sin? Why do we continue to sin and make mistakes eventhough we know that doing this and that is not right? And ultimately, what is the end or consequence of sin and what does it has to do with knowing God?
"...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,"- Romans 3:23
