A Word From Our Associational Missionary:
There are over 10 million people living in Georgia and 7 million or more do not attend church. Some say there are more than 8 million people who are lost that are living right here in Georgia. Yes, these are our friends, relatives, neighbors, and co-workers. That means that 8 out of 10 people we meet have no relationship with Jesus Christ. Prayerfully consider and think about that for a moment.
Now let’s look at what God tells us in II Peter 3:3 that He is …“Not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance:” In the context of Jesus’ return Peter reveals God’s heart for people to repent. The reason Jesus’ return is not sooner is so that all should come to repentance, because God is not willing that any should perish.
The bottom line is that God loves people and wants them to be saved. John 3:17 echoes that same thought. “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” So, if God wants people to come to faith in Him why are we not seeing more people trust Jesus as their Savior? We know it is God’s will for people to be saved! The fault is not in God it lies within us.
Would you join me in praying that the Lord would open our eyes to the spiritual condition of our area? That the Lord would help us to see people the way He sees them? That we would open our hearts to Him and that we would have ears to hear the Word of God? Invite someone today to come and attend your church or better yet invite them to Jesus.
Jesus said in Luke 19:10 “…for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” If Jesus came to seek and to save the lost shouldn’t we as His followers also be seeking and pointing the lost to Him? We exist to bring people to faith in Jesus Christ. There is nothing more important for us to do than to be about our Father’s business of bringing people to Him.
