Our job as believers is not to rescue anyone. It’s to show people where they can go to be rescued. To introduce them to the One who can save them. Our job is to present the gospel in truth to people. It’s our own story of how He saved us. Some times it’s with our mouth, and some times with our actions; the way we live. It’s up to God and it’s up to hearer to respond. When they don’t respond, we can’t take that as a personal failure. The Bible tells us, when people reject the truth, we are to shake the dust off of our feet and move on. We have to learn, that not all souls will be in Heaven. God is sovereign, and we must learn to trust Him in that.
Then Jesus went from village to village, teaching the people. 7 And He called His twelve disciples together and began sending them out two by two, giving them authority to cast out evil spirits. 8 He told them to take nothing for their journey except a walking stick–no food, no traveler’s bag, no money. 9 He allowed them to wear sandals but not to take a change of clothes.10 “Wherever you go,” He said, “stay in the same house until you leave town.11 But if any place refuses to welcome you or listen to you, shake its dust from your feet as you leave to show that you have abandoned those people to their fate.”12 So the disciples went out, telling everyone they met to repent of their sins and turn to God. 13 And they cast out many demons and healed many sick people, anointing them with olive oil.
Mark 6:6c-13
