I had to call a customer service representative and hadn't had a chance to share the gospel. I wasn't actually thinking of sharing when I called. But, when he told his name was Joshua, that immediately reminded me that I needed to share the gospel with him at the conclusion of my call. Joshua means salvation.
I asked him if he knew what his name meant. He didn't. I told him it meant salvation and asked him if he died today did he know if he was saved and going to heaven. He said his "preacher told him he was going to heaven." I asked him if he knew what the bible says about how to get to heaven. He didn't, so I explained to him the gospel from Mark 1:15, where Jesus said to repent and believe because the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
I asked Joshua if he had ever repented and trusted in Christ as his savior. He said he had. I explained to him what genuine repentance means--to not only cry out for forgiveness of sins, but also to turn to Jesus, turn from the broad road that leads to destruction to the narrow road that leads to life, to Jesus.
He thanked me. I thanked him for his service. Hopefully, I will see Joshua there one day!
