Multiplication...
Assume for the next few minutes that the population of the world is almost 5 billion (it is) and that you are the only Christian on earth (you aren’t). If you led one other person to the Lord during the next 12 months, and the two of you led two other people to the Lord the following year, etc., how many years would it take (statistically, at least) before everyone in the world would be a Christian?The startling fact of multiplication is this: If everyone approached the Great Commission with the attitude, “Each one win one,” the task might well be completed in about 32 years!
Jesus sent out His disciples 2-by-2 but the job of spreading the gospel occurred 1-by-1: one individual with Christ sharing the good news with one individual without Christ. Does that help you see how important one witness – your witness – can be in accomplishing the goal? Write down the names of 3 unsaved friends in your GoFish card (if you haven’t already!), and make them the focus of your praying… and sharing! That’s how the Good News gets around!
“Evangelism is the perpetual task of the whole church and not the peculiar hobby of certain of its members.”
