Our bit! Let's do it quickly: the unevangelized world (part 2)

We each must "do our bit" to win souls.

The following is from a booklet by C. T. Studd, a millionaire who gave away all of his money and his life to bring Christ to those who had never heard of Him before.  Are we "playing" church or are we living firebrands of Christ in this cold world such as C. T. Studd and everyone who followed him were?

 The Grim Fact.

"Our character and loyalty are at stake.

"To put the case in a nutshell, unless a serious effort to occupy all the unoccupied fields and to carry the gospel to the uttermost part of every unoccupied field is made, and that at once, our loyalty to Christ is manifestly nothing but a miserable sham. What else did our Saviour mean when He said, 'Why call ye Me Lord, Lord, but do not the things that I say?' ' If a man love Me he will keep My word.' ' He that loveth Me not keepeth not My words.' 

"The shame of being a sham ought to move the most thick-skinned among us. Can we suffer our loyalty to Christ to be questioned? What further incentive do we need? Our faith, honour, courage, loyalty, and gratitude are all at stake.

No Alternative.

"There is no alternative open to us. The effort must be made, and at once. Henceforth this must be the main object of the life of every loyal Christian, as he says, like Martin Luther, ' I can do no other, may God help me. Amen.' Let the devil and his agents do as they please. 

"Should there be as many devils in the way as fish in the sea, we must advance. Let men help or hinder as they will. We must and will march forward, our hearts trusting in God, our eyes upon the Saviour, to death for His sake it may be, to glory it assuredly shall be.

Our Method.

"And how, pray, shall this be done?

(i.) By prayer to God.
(ii.) By faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
(iii.) By the guidance and power of The Holy Ghost.
(iv.) By the consciousness of our own utter impotence and foolishness.
(v.) By supreme sacrifice.

"We will pray for God’s blessing on every existing missionary society, that each, mightily quickened by God, may extend the spheres of its operations. We will seek to help to the utmost of our power every missionary society or individual that loves the Lord sincerely and seeks to 'do his bit' to overthrow the devil’s kingdom and establish that of Jesus Christ."
