As “gone” as they might look, nobody is too far gone for God’s love and reach. Gang leaders turning into pastors, addicts becoming clean for life, headstrong atheists seeing the Light, … and all of us making a 180 turn away from who we were and become filled with His Spirit that is stronger than anything in the world.
“Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
We just supplied a street evangelism team in Hungary with ten thousand tracts. They engage people by performing short skits, then telling them the Gospel, giving them the tracts, and answering their questions. These teams distribute Gospel tracts in parks, in front of universities, events, anywhere they can. They are the ones who spoke with these two guys also. You can see the tract in the hand of one of them. Sometimes street evangelism is not easy. But we are called to tell EVERYONE about Christ.
