All Christians if they are following Christ have that "want to" to tell others of Christ’s Salvation. Because at one point in time they were there were you are at. If the spirit hasn’t reached you yet. Nothing will make sense until you read the word of God or someone tells you of his Salvation. Christ does save soles and I will put a short verse for you. I would encourage the Reading of the whole Bible. A good place to start would be John.
JOHN 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. ROMANS 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. |

I am an extremely openminded Christian that was raised in the bible belt. My annoyance with Christians to demanding others to read or hear the word of Christ from those you don't even follow Christ's teaching.
I don't know you and I am sure you aren't one of these individuals but my theory is to lead others to Christ through example and actions rather than Gospel and preaching. Sometimes the time is right and sometimes it isn't right. Presonally I think you will bring more to Christ be living a life devoted to him and only talking to those who truly want to listen. When you preach to a person not willing to hear you you are only pushing them further away from him or your spiritaul Beleifs. Hence why I am so personal with my beleifs. Besides is extremely arrogant to to assume everyone will listen and be saved regardless if they can or not. Be people to your faith through living your beleifs and speak with only those who are ready to listen. Just a suggestion! |

otherwise you'll only get part of the story and some of it will be backwards |

Because of what Jesus did for us...
christians can't help but want to tell others , too...  Like the song below, says :  Go tell it on the mountain, Over the hills and everywhere, Go tell it on the mountain, Our Jesus Christ is born. When I was a seeker I sought both night and day, I asked the Lord to help me, And he showed me the way. Go tell it on the mountain, Over the hills and everywhere, Go tell it on the mountain, Our Jesus Christ is born. He made me a watchman Upon a city wall, And if I am a Christian, I am the least of all. Go tell it on the mountain, Over the hills and everywhere, Go tell it on the mountain, Our Jesus Christ is born. The words and lyrics by John W. Work, Jr. (1872-1925) |

You don't know that the OP doesn't live the life of Christ. You also are assuming that someone is shoving something down another's throat. That's absurd. He was making a suggestion. I think you have an angst without cause. Just saying... |

But I don’t Think you’re going to lead anyone to salvation unless there told. Jesus did not tell us to keep it to ourselves. MARK 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. |

I would but there are a lot of lost souls out there. Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. |

I was simply making a suggestion because I don't see enough people in my area do this... Bring others to Christ by example and only speak to those who are ready to listen. When you speak to people who aren't ready to listen or haven't seent he positive effects of living a life devoted to Christ it only pushes them further away from Christ. I hope you see my comments weren't of anger or resentment but suggestion and hope that others may heed my suggestions because I have seen to many people refuse Christ because they don't see the positive effects of him only people preaching a life style they don't show themselves. |

If the spirit hasn’t reached you yet. Nothing will make sense until you read the word of God or someone tells you of his Salvation. Christ does save soles and I will put a short verse for you.

JOHN 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. ROMANS 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Amen! It is a desire to share His grace and love. Discerning the time and way depends upon the leading of the Holy Spirit and the anointing. It can be shared through prayer, in thought, word or deed. Even a smile or encouraging word can be used by the Lord. Daily Bible reading is a very good suggestion and I also like to add a Proverb corresponding to the day. I read in a book once that if we would get as serious about God as we are about food then we would start maturing. Just as we need proper nutrition to grow when we are children, to grow as Christians we need to feed off the manna from heaven and eventually start partaking of the meat. The book encourages us to read the Word of God before eating any food in the morning and to not eat until you have done your reading. I for the most part try to apply that to my life and have missed some meals...lol Ephesians 2:8-10 (New International Version) 8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9not by works, so that no one can boast. 10For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. |

I second that emotion from the wise sage called David each and all is only the total sum of all words heard, these either being recieved thru love of self more, or love of others more....... |

I second that emotion from the wise sage called David There are lost souls to be saved. I suggest that you read the whole bible for all I can put here is a few verses. MATTHEW 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. MARK 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. JOHN 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. JOHN 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. ACTS 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. ROMANS 3:3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? 1CORINTHIANS 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; HEBREWS 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him ; |
