Bible Verses About Rescuing The Lost
The Call to Evangelize
As believers, we have a shared mission to reach the lost. Evangelism is not just an idea; it is a command that Jesus gave us. We are called to share the good news of salvation to those who do not yet know Him. Every encounter we have can be an opportunity to shine His light and invite others into a relationship with our Savior. This calling empowers us to step out of our comfort zones and actively engage with those around us. We are reminded that every soul matters, and God desires that none should perish. Sharing our faith can change lives, so let us be bold and joyful in this great commission.

The Heart of God for the Lost
God’s heart beats for the lost and broken. When we look at the stories of Jesus, we see a love that is unyielding toward those who are far from Him. God is not willing that any should perish; instead, He seeks everyone to turn to Him. This heart of compassion calls us to reflect His love to those around us who may feel hopeless. In our efforts to rescue the lost, we should always remember that we are sharing a message of grace, love, and redemption. Our hearts should mirror God’s – filled with pity, mercy, and a desire for reconciliation.
