"Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal." (Joh 12:24-25)

“Have you no wish for others to be saved? Then you're not saved yourself, be sure of that!”
― Charles H. Spurgeon
So easily we can become entangled in the cares of this world just like the seed that is choked out by the thorns as mentioned by Jesus Christ...
He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. (Mat 13:22)
John 15 makes it clear that we need to bear fruit or be cast into the fire - are we? In just over three minutes you'll know whether you need to get weeding. The eternity of yourselves and others may depend on it...
"Jesus Christ did not say, 'Go into the world and tell the world that it is quite right.'"
