Daniel and Sarah Alkire About
How long have you known of God’s free gift of salvation?
Are you like Dan and Sarah? For them the message of salvation was passed down from generation to generation. They cannot remember a time when they did not know of God’s free gift. Maybe as a child you went to Sunday school with a friend. Maybe you found out about salvation through a youth program or a campus ministry program. Maybe you came to know the Lord through a co-worker. Maybe you got stuck in a delivery truck for hours on end with a “Jesus Nut” who could not keep to themselves the truth that was in them! However or whenever you got saved, you now know the truth.
The two ladies in the picture live in a remote part of Mexico. They grew up far from church, Sunday school, youth outreach, or other programs. They have never been told about the chance for eternal life upon their deaths. They has never been told that they can escape an agonizing eternity in the fires of Hell because of what their Savior did for them. No one has told them the truth. No one has told them they are lost.
What are we to do about it? Did God give us the gift of salvation only to keep it to ourselves or did he instruct us to go and tell others? The call to take the gospel to “all nations” is non-negotiable. A life of obedience is one of making disciples. Dan and Sarah are excited about sharing the gospel with the Meshicanero people of Mexico who would otherwise not have access to the truth.
