The Pressure Is Off
“No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
John 6:44 CSB
Sometimes we feel pressure that we are responsible for a person becoming a Christian. We may place an overemphasis on saying the right words or finding the right time to share the gospel. Like trying to enter a game of double-dutch, we strategically rock back and forth while attempting to figure out when to jump in with the big news. Rest assured, God will give wisdom how and when to share. But if you’re a Christian, find joy in the fact that you’re already in the game, and the pressure of performance is off. It is not in our ability to save people, but we are called to deliver the message, and God gives us the privilege to be used by Him. As you share the best news with your one, leave the results of salvation up to the God who draws people to Himself, and enjoy the joy of joining God in His mission as He makes all things new.
Pray that as you share the gospel with your one, you would be reminded that only the Father can draw people to Himself. (From “Who’s Your One?” Devotional, NAMB)
