The Need to Evangelize
Part 2
In a previous article we had begun noting that one rea-
son why we need to be involved in evangelizing our
world is the fact that our time is limited. The Psalmist had
said that “the days of our lives are seventy years;
And if by reason of strength they are eighty years,
Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; For it is
soon cut off, and we fly away” (Psa. 90:10). But there
are many other passages that emphasize the same
thing. Job declared that “Man who is born of woman is
of few days and full of trouble. 2 He comes forth like
a flower and fades away; He flees like a shadow and
does not continue” (Job 14:1, 2). Not only are our
years limited, Job also tells us that they are gone all too
quickly. “My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle,
And are spent without hope” (Job 7:6). “Now my
days are swifter than a runner; They flee away, they
see no good” (Job 9:25). The time will come if it hasn’t
already, when each of us will look back over our life and
wonder, “How could it all be gone so soon?” Seventy
years will seem to have past faster than a weaver’s shut-
tle. It will seem to have vanished as smoke or vapor or
wind. A few more years and we will have no more oppor-
tunity to warn, to tell the good news and to encourage
people to obey. A few more days and those we had the
opportunity to teach will be gone! I remember Dan Jen-
kins showing my wife Donna and I some slides from his
years working in Fiji. One was of an old priest and an-
other of a young child. The priest was part of a pagan
religion. “In all likelihood,” Dan told us, “this man has al-
ready gone out into eternity unprepared and if something
isn’t done, if someone doesn’t go and teach them that
young child will suffer the same fate.”
Secondly, we need to evangelize now because
eternity is long! Eternity, infinity, everlasting are all con-
cepts that are extremely hard to grasp. Our mind is lim-
ited by experience to things that are limited by time.
Every person, every object is finite in this world. There is
an end to it all. Thus it is hard to understand eternity.
Think in terms of a prison sentence. How long is a long
prison sentence? Ten years? 20 years? 50 years? Life?
Whichever they all have an end. Think of the Jews in
captivity in Babylon. They were there for 70 years. That
may sound long but it ended. Egyptian bondage lasted
more than 400 years. That sounds like a long time, but it
ended! We measure things by time but eternity is an ab-
sence of time. There is no end to eternity. There is no
end to the joy of the righteous in heaven or to the suffer-
ing of the wicked in hell.
Thirdly, we need to be evangelizing our world be-
cause sin is so horrible. Sin is the only inherent evil in the
world. We talk about the horror of physical catastrophes
such as tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes,
fires, famines and pestilence. Such things as this may be
instrumentally evil (that is they may lead to real evil, sin).
