That Crawford back on top means he sues large chemi- cal corporations who’ve hurt everyday people by neglecting to take proper safety precautions, often winning settlements of mil- lions of dollars for his clients. He was a very sharp-minded and eloquent orator who also happened to be a Christian. We got to talking about sharing the gospel, and he mentioned how he had recently taught his Sunday school class a very impor- tant lesson. He told them, “When I’m speaking to the lost, I must remember that I am not selling them a ‘fire insurance’ policy but a ‘new life’ policy.” He made a good point. As Christians, we know there is new life in Christ if a person genuinely repents and trusts in the Savior. But I immediately remembered the Scripture that instructs us to “save with fear, pulling them out of the fire” (Jude 23) and the words of Jesus: “Do not fear those who kill the body but can- not kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matthew 10:28). So which is it? Do we tell sinners to “flee from the wrath to come” or to “come to Christ for a new and improved life?” Several days earlier, I asked a friend what he thought would happen to him when he died. He believed he was going to heaven.
