We can win every theological debate and seem religious, but can we win souls?
When we first became believers, most of us were excited to spend time with God and tell everyone we knew about the new life we now have in Jesus. Our chains are gone, we’ve been set free! Yet as the years have gone by, many of us have become more enamored with knowing “about” God without also continuing to get to KNOW God. While we are to “study ourselves approved” (2 Tim 2:15), some of us have exchanged intimacy with God for head-knowledge, and our relationship with the Father has suffered.
We can win every theological debate, but can we win souls? The only way to walk out the Great Commission, to win the hearts of others for God’s Kingdom, is by first surrendering our hearts to the Father. Will you return to your First Love?
