Knocking on a stranger’s door to tell them about Jesus our Lord and Savior can be an intimidating proposition for some people (me included). Anyone who has done this type of evangelism before can attest to the anxiety. I guess it’s the element of the unknown, the mystery that waits behind the next door that causes us to fear and doubt. Will they be receptive to our message or will they slam the door in our face? Either way, evangelism is a win-win situation.
When we as Christians proclaim the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ, some may accept the message in faith and repentance. We will gain a brother and rejoice with the Heavenly host because he who turns a sinner from the error of his way saves his soul from death.
Others, however, may harshly reject the gospel message. Yet take heart, for we are truly blessed when people insult us and persecute us and slander us for the sake of Christ. We are to rejoice and be glad because our heavenly reward is great.
Therefore irregardless of what transpires, if salvation is obtained, if seeds are sown, if prayers are answered, or if doors are slammed, hash words thrown, cheeks slapped, and faces spat upon… no matter what happens, we win.
