Being A Friend To Unbelievers/Rashea@LLO2 Academy
If we fail to fulfill The Great Commission, then we have failed as a Christian empowered by the Holy Spirit to be change agents in the earth. The Great Commission is not an option. The Great Commission is mandatory.
It is God's will that no one be lost. So, why are we as Christian's so comfortable with seeing people live their lives without Jesus and leave this life without fully knowing Jesus? Jesus did not come to save the church. Jesus came to save unbelievers in need of Jesus.
Cast no judgment on those fulfilling The Great Commission. Cast your judgments on those who are not. The Great Commission was given to ALL born again Christian's not just a sect.
WAKE UP CHURCH! Souls are crying out. To ignore them is like ignoring the cry of any infant child.
We are in this world but not of it. However, we still have to show the love of Jesus to all, as God leads. Staying the path and in the Will of God does not communicate hiding from our duties as a Christian. If you are not being a light to those around you... You are in disobedience to the Word of God.
The Pharisees (the religious church) looked down on Jesus for taking the time to have dinner with a group of sinners in Matthew 9. Jesus sternly rebukes them for their shallow and pious judgments. He reminded them that God requires MERCY.
After that dinner... Matthew (Levi) a tax collector under Roman jurisdiction became a disciple of Jesus. He wrote one of the greatest in depth books that accounts for the ministry of Jesus. No one is devalued in the Kingdom of God. Matthew 9 was titled: Jesus; A Friend to Sinners.
Find common ground as you hold your ground as a Christian. Know your limits on reaching out to unbelievers. Ask God to guide you in all things.
Never approach a sinner judgmental. Approach the invitation and conversation leaning on the guidance of God and the Word of God to guide you through the encounter. All of Jesus disciples were Jews, but they all weren't saved when they first encountered Jesus. DID YOU KNOW THAT?👀 Let that sink in.👍🏾💯
Jesus calls us, chooses us and then He changes us from the inside out. We are all prone to sin without Jesus. Introduce others to the Christ within you by how you devotedly live, conduct yourself, communicate and listen.
See beyond the condition of a sinner. See the born again state of a son or daughter of God through salvation and sanctification. We are all a working progress. None of us have arrived. Be the good Samaritan and not the pious educated and religious fools who kept walking pass a person who could not help themself.👀 Let that sink in.
WHOSOEVER WILL LET THEM COME. You may come as you are, but you will not stay as you are. Live from your spirit and gather with your body. For the harvest is ripe, but the laborers are few. Pray that God will send laborers to gather the harvest of souls crying out for Jesus and a better way of life.
