Laboring In Your Field of Harvest

Laboring In Your Field of Harvest

“...The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few...”
Luke 10:2

If you are Christian you, no doubt, have a sense of our Lord’s personal command for you to “make disciples” (Matt 28:19-20). If you live in America, approximately 3/4’s of the population professes to be a disciple of Christ (i.e “a Christian”). Yet, the overwhelming majority of these do not even believe in the existence of Satan and a large portion think Jesus was a sinner! (www.barna.org) Of the few who actually have a firm foundation in Biblical doctrine, few of these possess a tangible, true faith in Jesus. After all, if you truly believe something in your heart, it guides your actions. Right? (James 2:18) The widespread apathy in churches is not evidence of spiritual slumber, it is evidence of no spiritual life. “Faith without works is dead” (James 2:20) So, what is your “field of labor” in America today? It is to reach false converts—those who think they are saved, but are not. To prepare as a laborer in this field, seek to become intimately familiar with Biblical evidence of genuine conversion. Ask “Christians” why they think they are saved. Then, share God’s Word.
