—Luke 13:1-5

As Christians we must be careful that we don’t water down the salvation message so that it will be more palatable to unbelievers. We must be clear to them what God says in his Word: “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23) and “Without the shedding of blood there can be no forgiveness of sins” (Hebrews 9:22b). If God’s word is rejected, that is not our responsibility. Our responsibility is to speak God’s word in love, clearly and wholly, so that we may not be held responsible on the Day of Judgment for watering down the gospel message.
