Christians, is there anything more important?

anything more important than sharing the simple gospel, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and believe with your heart that God has raised Him from the dead you will be saved.

Paul said he was not ashamed of the gospel for it was the power of God for salvation.

Do you think Christians rely on God's power to make the gospel effective or do they tend to put their trust in the power of persuasion instead?

    Love.

    Mark 12:33-34

    1 Corinthians 13:13

    For an example of love see the story of the good Samaritan. And there are many other passages like this. To help orphans, the hungry and even as a test of salvation. Because while love might not lead to salvation, salvation and genuine belief leads to love. God is love, and who can claim to know God without it? Likewise for the hypocrites with false belief they go over land and sea to win a single convert, and only make him twice the hellspawn that they are. (Matthew 23:15). So evangelism is useless without love.

    ~~~ That is all vanity!

    It is more important, the real 'sharing' to actually LIVE Jesus' teachings, then to spew ignorant words!

    Knowledge = experience!

    Share the Love, or you have nothing to share that anyone needs!

    And that can be done with your mouth shut!

    Yeah, the sinful ego does not agree, does it? Hahahah!

    KNOW what you are talking about, find the Love!;

    “Your task is not to seek for Love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” - Rumi

    "Wage Love, practice Compassion!"

    Yes, more powerful and important is living the life... If you are living the life, those seeing the differnce in your life will come to you, already prepared to hear the gospel.

    All we can do is present the gospel the rest is up to God.

    You can't win over anyone to Christ unless it is his spirit in you calling them, they will see Christ in you that is what will draw them. That is why we can not be like this world.

    I'd prefer you not to share, thanks. Keep the idiocy to yourself.
