Paul let the ignorance of the lost move his heart and motivate his prayer life. His prayer was simple, "God, please save people who don't know you yet." After he prayed, he made it his mission to be a tool in God's hands so that others would be saved.
It is a great thing to pray for others to be saved! In fact, it is probably the best thing. It is ALSO a great thing to actually share the gospel with someone who does not know Christ yet. I suggest we all try that as well.
The Romans road mines again for us gold.
ReplyDeleteOur actions do not motivate God's grace.
God's grace to us motivates our actions.
The end of ourselves is the beginning of the Gospel.
