- Welcome to the Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.
- 00:12
- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. A thing that many people when it comes to evangelism have trouble with is staying encouraged.
- 00:21
- Because it can be awful discouraging when you're handing out a gospel tract and someone rejects it.
- 00:27
- And you go to hand another one, and they reject that one too. And a third person, and they reject that one also.
- 00:33
- See, it can be greatly discouraging. But remember this, that it is
- 00:38
- God that we are being faithful to. Not someone taking a gospel tract. Not someone receiving
- 00:44
- Christ. We are not responsible for their obedience to God. We're not responsible for their repentance.
- 00:52
- We are responsible to be faithful to Jesus Christ and do what he's called us to do in making disciples.
- 00:58
- We make disciples of all people, everybody, teaching them all things that Christ has taught us.
- 01:03
- Now to the unbeliever who doesn't know Jesus Christ, the only and first thing we must teach them is how to get right with God.
- 01:10
- Once they become right with God, then we disciple them onto all other things. But we are faithful.
- 01:17
- We have to be faithful. That's all. We are faithful to going out and sharing the gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ, having died on a cross, buried, and risen again three days later for our sins.
- 01:31
- We share that with people, even though they may not want to hear it. And it can be discouraging, but there is hope.
- 01:38
- Because there is that one time that you have somebody who comes to know Christ, and that is so encouraging.
- 01:44
- You're on a spiritual high, maybe even for days. But then you get the privilege of discipling them and teaching them all things that Christ has taught you.
