Do Not Reject The Gospel Message:
This powerful message centers on the danger of delaying or rejecting the gospel. Through the stories of King Agrippa, the rich man Dives, and Nicodemus, we're shown three responses to God's invitation: hesitation, rejection, and acceptance. The core scripture, Acts 26, highlights Agrippa's 'almost' persuasion, serving as a stark warning against procrastination in matters of faith. We're reminded that salvation is urgent – none of us are guaranteed tomorrow. The parable of the rich man and Lazarus further illustrates the eternal consequences of our choices. This teaching challenges us to examine our own response to the gospel. Are we hesitating like Agrippa, rejecting like Dives, or seeking truth like Nicodemus? The message emphasizes that our decision has eternal implications, urging us to move from hesitation or rejection to wholehearted acceptance of Christ.
