After the famous preacher, Dwight Moody came to salvation, the prolific evangelist resolved not to let a day pass without sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with at least one person.
Moody was determined to share how God saves us from the consequences of our sins by faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross. He obeyed God’s instructions to proclaim His name and “make known among the nations what He has done” (Isaiah 12:4). Today, our call remains the same – to tell the wonders of Jesus becoming a man, dying on the cross for our sins, and rising again.
As Moody did, we must be ready to leave our comfort zones to tell others about Jesus.
In His book, “Proclaim the Good News,” evangelist Luis Joseph Castle, teaches you how to easily reach out to those who are in need of Christ and plant the seeds of salvation. He writes, “We are ALL called to be missionaries and evangelists regarding the gospel. It’s as simple as asking someone you meet, ‘Do you know Jesus as your Savior and Lord?”
Are you willing to obey God and tell others about Jesus? This book will teach you how to do it! “Proclaim the Good News” book is now available free of charge for a limited time. Get your free copy while supplies last.
I was invited to be a guest speaker at a recent evangelistic meeting, “Men of Wisdom,” featuring various pastors and Bible teachers. Here is the message I preached, where lives were impacted and souls were saved, for the glory of God.

What is true wisdom?
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom…” – Psalms 111:10
A truly wise man or woman, regardless of their education or lack thereof, no matter if they’re rich or poor, can be wise because they fear and respect God. It is true that God is a god of love, but He is also a god of judgment. Therefore, we always need to live our lives mindful of this fact. Because we are sinful people who, knowingly or unknowingly, commit sin every day of our lives, we need to make sure that we confess our sins daily and be cleansed by the precious blood of Jesus.
Who is a foolish person?
A foolish person says there is no God, and no sin, and no judgment day. They reject the grace of God and His free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. But although they are in denial, and have allowed Satan to blind them to the reality of God, they will one day stand before almighty God at the Great White Throne Judgment.
“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. “ – Revelation 20:11-15
Either you name will be found written in the Book of Life – where your sins have been atoned for by the blood of Jesus on the cross, or your name will be written in the Book of Death and Judgment. In these books of judgment, God has kept a very detailed record of your life. Every evil word you have spoken, every wicked deed you have committed, and every shameful thought that has crossed your mind will be listed there. No one whose names appear in the Books of Death and Judgment will escape the wrath of God. They will be cast into the Lake of Fire for eternity.
In which book is your name written?
Is your name written in the Book of Life, or the Book of Judgment? If your name is written in the Book of Life you don’t need to fear God’s judgment anymore. All those who have their names written in the Book of Life will be saved by grace through faith. They will not be judged by their works, but by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His imputed righteousness. They have been forgiven of all their sins and cleansed by His blood. God will never remember their sins again!
Romans 8:1-2 assures us that “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus…For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made us free from the law of sin and death.”
We are saved by grace through faith, not of our own works, lest anyone should boast (Ephesians 2:8-9).
No matter what type of life you’ve lived in the past, no matter what sins you have committed, your name can be written in the Lamb’s Book of Life today – if you repent and receive Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord. That is the greatest and wisest decision you can ever make. Unfortunately, too many people are fools to the very end of their lives. They never believe, and never repent, and they reject God’s free gift of salvation.
I admonish you today, to become the wisest person in the world, and receive Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord. Be saved before it’s too late!
2 Corinthians 6:2, in the New Living Translation reads, “For God says, “At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you.” Indeed, the “right time” is now. Today is the day of salvation.”
Today is the day of salvation…Won’t you receive Jesus right now?
Bow your head and pray this prayer out loud, and mean it with all your heart:
“Dear Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God who died on the cross for my sins. I ask you to forgive me of my sins and become the Savior and Lord of my life. Amen.”
If you just prayed this prayer, write us and let us know so we can rejoice with you!
