It Takes All Kinds to Reach All Kinds
The first and primary job of all of us is to introduce people to Jesus by making them aware of their need for salvation. Once they become saved, we need to encourage them to begin the process of being and remaining in fellowship with God in Christ because of our salvation, but we cannot force that upon them like we cannot force salvation on them. We also need to remember that the Holy Spirit indwells each and every believer and is very capable of teaching, guiding, and chastising each believer in a way that proves God’s love repeatedly. At best, my acts of “encouragement” might come across as very condemning and that is something I need to be extremely careful about, don’t it? There are times I need to step aside and give room to those who speak another person’s language and can relate to where they are right then and there.
