#71 - If God is soverign, why do I need to share the gospel with others?
In this episode of Gospel Talks, George Binoka and Jeff Musgrave wrestle with a tension many Christians feel but rarely articulate: how do we take personal responsibility for evangelism without undermining God’s sovereignty? Building on the previous episode, they explore the danger of passivity in relational evangelism and why refusing to engage the lost is not humility—but a neglect of moral agency.Using biblical examples like Esther, Acts 1:8, and Jesus’ own ministry model, this conversation brings clarity to the balance between trust and obedience. The gospel is a treasure entrusted to fragile vessels, and God calls each believer to faithfully steward it right where they are.This episode challenges listeners to stop waiting for the “perfect moment,” embrace urgency rooted in love, and confidently step into the role God has already given them.Key Topics CoveredWhy passivity in evangelism dishonors our responsibility before GodThe difference between God’s sovereign will and His moral willHow relational evangelism avoids both pressure and negligenceWhy love and truth must always go togetherSeeing people—not numbers—as eternal treasureLearning contentment in being used by God as He choosesEpisode Chapters00:00 Introduction to Relational Evangelism01:43 Moral Agency in Evangelism04:12 Balancing Urgency and Passivity07:29 Understanding Our Responsibility11:09 Navigating God’s Sovereignty and Moral Will14:08 The Importance of Love in Evangelism17:50 The Treasure of the Gospel21:16 Being Used as Vessels for GodTakeawayGod is sovereign—but He has chosen to work through willing, obedient people. You don’t need to reach the whole world. You need to be faithful in your Jerusalem. Trust Him fully. Obey Him faithfully. And steward the treasure you’ve been given.If this episode encouraged you, share it with someone you’re praying for—and join us next time on Gospel Talks.
