FOOD FOR THOUGHT (OR TO PROVOKE THOUGHT)
Why are churches, pastors, evangelists, members, saints and friends spending so much time trying to preach the gospel and win souls to Christ? According to the bible, there is no longer a need for that!!!
Hebrews 8:10-11 clearly states, Now, this is the covenant that I will make with the people of Israel in the days to come, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. None of them will have to teach their friends or tell their neighbors, ‘Know the Lord.’ For they will all know me, from the least to the greatest.
So (according to this passage), we understand the following 3 things:
1. God will put his laws (i.e., precepts, ways, guide, etc.) in people's minds and write them in their hearts.
2. That the relationship will be personal (not corporate or congregational).
3. No one will have to teach others about God or about getting to "know the Lord" because EVERYONE will know him regardless of who you are.
So, if you believe the bible to be true, and you follow what it says, then why are churches, pastors, evangelists, members, saints and friends still trying to do what their bible says there is no longer a need to do?
