What we think about the Lord will determine how we live for Him. Unfortunately, many Christians are more afraid of the world, in particular, the Left, then they are the Lord. This is because Jesus Christ has been turned into a mealy-mouthed, Christianized Santa Claus in many churches. Why? Well, because we've become convinced that talking about hell and God's hatred of sin will turn people off. The problem is, Jesus didn't share this opinion, so neither should we. In fact, the most unloving thing in the world to do is to lie to people about the danger of sin and the surety of death. This doesn't mean that we're to be rude and obnoxious, of course, but it is to say that we should be bold in our proclamation of the necessity of faith in Christ for salvation.
And lastly, we need to be reminded that the gospel's goal is never to be popular but to tell the truth of God to sinners. If we fear offending listeners with the gospel then we invariably teach them about a false messiah. To remedy this we must return to the biblical concept of the fear of the Lord, which is the whole duty of man and the most loving thing in all the world. After all, what can be more loving than to tell others about the glory of Jesus Christ?
