What is our job concerning those who do not yet know Christ? Certainly we are to be in the “disciple-making” business (Matthew 28:18-20), but it’s very helpful for us to clarify what is our part, and what is God’s part . . . Here is a helpful answer from Carl Kerby in the latest Answers magazine (July-September 2010):
Our job is not to convict or convert. That is the Holy Spirit’s job. Our job is to converse (Mark 16:15). Christians must become more visible in the culture. We’ve been hiding our light under a basket far too long.
If we say we love Jesus with our mouths, our actions should also reflect that love. To quote a friend, “Jesus paid much too high a price for us to pick and choose who should hear the gospel” (Romans 10:14-15).
