A Call to All God's People
The Bible speaks of a ministry which is given to every born again believer. This ministry consist of a child of God bringing a lost person to Christ. It also includes bringing a person who may have slipped away from God back into relationship with Jesus.
This ministry of which I speak is the “Ministry of Reconciliation”.
18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committedc unto us the word of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:18-19
Once we are saved then Gods spirit lives inside of us reconciling us to God. 6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Galatians 4:6
Knowing this the same spirit that works in us will also work through us reaching out to whoever we come in contact with.
This generation is our responsibility. Yes God does the work but he uses holy men and woman as vessels. Who will answer this call? God is calling his people to bring this generation into fellowship with him.
It is also true we can not win everyone over to the Lord. We can though yield to the Holy Ghost and his promptings to use every opportunity to let God flow through us.
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Mark 16:15-18
