"And we did magnify our office unto the Lord, taking upon us the responsibility, answering the sins of the people upon our own heads if we did not teach them the word of God with all diligence; wherefore, by laboring with our might their blood might not come upon our garments; otherwise their blood would come upon our garments, and we would not be found spotless at the last day." (Jacob 1:19)
One of the things we as members of Christ's church have been asked to do is to proclaim the Gospel. Such a task can be difficult, especially in these days when so many are more interested in the secular than they are in the things of God. Unfortunately, the opinion of the world does not excuse us from our calling. It does not fall to most of us to go door to door trying to find those who are seeking the Gospel, but there are things we can do to share our beliefs.
We can start by living our religion, standing up for those things we believe in and showing others through our example how the Gospel can bring joy into our lives. The Gospel can be shared by showing charity for all in our lives, treating them as Christ would treat them were He here. One of the other things I have done is let people I know that I am a member of the Church, and open the door for discussion if and when they are interested. And yes, there have been those who have taken advantage of that invitation.
These are just a few of many ways that we can share the Gospel with others. I think the important thing, however, is to just do it. That way, when we all face our Father in Heaven again, we can, in good conscience, say that we did everything we could.
