“If our gospel is hid, it is hid to those who are lost” (2 Cor 4:3). Procrastination is very often a main reason why we don’t evangelize as we should. Urgent things push out important things. If we delay for months or years, then tell someone that they are in danger of hell fire, they might well ask, “You’ve known this all the time you’ve known me, and you never told me? What kind of a friend are you?” This is a situation that must be corrected and demands a good dose of honesty. Something like, “There is something very important to me that I should have told you before. But I was afraid of losing your friendship. Please forgive me. Can I tell you now?” Interestingly, in the context of evangelism, Paul quotes to believers what we think is a gospel verse: “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Cor 6:2). Why? Well, if today is the day of salvation, what day should we tell people that today is the day of salvation? Tomorrow? Or today? — J.B.N.
