My Getting Rebuked by Christ

I'm going to have to appear before Christ after I have died or been raptured at some point in time.

And even though I know well that I don't need to fear hell because I have accepted Jesus as my Lord and personal Savior, my appearance there will not be entirely pleasant for me when I first show up before Him.

Why?

I'm a lousy Christian for one.  I will not have done much for him; I do not now expect to bear much fruit for Christ. 

He's going to want to know why I haven't approached more people and proclaimed the Gospel in person.

I have a rather avoidant personality.  I don't like to gab or approach people because I'm quite shy. I am also not much of a people person.  I am more of a loner.  I tend to keep to myself.

Also, I am the sort of person who is not persuasive so not many people listen to me.  My ability to live up to the Great Commission is practically nonexistent at this time.  So unfortunately, many people I should be talking to about Christ will have to rely on someone more aggressive to reach them to lead them to Christ.

However I function in a time in which there are blogs and the internet and I like writing so I really have no excuse.  If I'm going to have any part in contributing to God's plan to reach people to redeem them, then I guess I'll have to do all of my work through writing alone.

And why do I care about this?

I don't want the blood of other people on my hands.  I don't want to answer for you if you die in your sin.  As you can see, I have a rather negative attitude but it is a duty.  I have to tell you that if you refuse to accept Jesus Christ now, you will likely keep putting it off until it's too late for you to get to Heaven.  I don't want you to go to Hell when you die.  Also, if the Rapture takes place now, I want you to be taken and not left behind.  I believe in the Rapture and I believe that accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Savior is the only way for you to get to God the Father and not dying in your sin.

There, I did it.  That is a lot less blood of other people on my hands that I will have to answer to Jesus Christ for.

Still, I will have to answer for at least some people I could have reached in person but didn't because I'm lousy at talking to people about Jesus Christ.  For this I repent in advance for.  May God forgive me for whatever fruit He expected me to bear but didn't.
