This is the mission Jesus gave us (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8). Shouldn’t we do everything we can to help them know his grace and call them to repent and follow Jesus as Lord? “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9.
