Recently, there's been a lot of talk about universalism. While many believers have taken their intellectual stance against universalism, saying that all people who do not repent and believe in Christ alone will spend an eternity apart from God, I think there are many of us who fall into something worse, as David Platt has proposed in this video. While we say that we believe the Bible teaches that all people who do not repent and believe in Christ alone will spend eternity apart from God suffering His wrath, our lives don't look like we believe that. We go through our daily lives, completely ignoring the lost people all around us. We focus on our to-do lists, our schedules, our families, our church bubbles, and totally lose sight of those who are lost. God has entrusted--ENTRUSTED--us with the gospel. What are we doing with it? His desire is for us to worship Him and to make His name known among the nations. How are we doing? Have we fallen into the trap of universalism in the way we live our lives?
