QuickThoughts: Hear and Understand

📘 After Jesus called the crowd to Him, He said to them, “Hear and understand.”

Matthew 15:10

Throughout Scripture, we are told that men must both hear and understand the Gospel.

It is our job, as ambassadors of Christ, to provide the hearing through the preaching of the Gospel. Only God Himself can provide the understanding.

📘 I am Your slave; give me understanding, that I may know Your testimonies.

Psalm 119:125

Go and tell someone of God’s love for them, how He moved to provide a means of salvation and forgiveness in Christ.

Then pray for the Spirit to open their hearts and minds to understand the word of truth.

Rest then in knowing you are not responsible for their salvation. God can use even the most flawed presentation of the Gospel to call His sheep unto Himself.

Be faithful, go and make disciples today.

Soli deo gloria!
