Evangelism should include more teaching of the Bible and of truth. This should help those who accept the faith in college not to give up. They were only told part of the truth. They thought the Bible was only saying that Jesus is love. There is a lot of grace and acceptance – but they also need to obey God, deal with their sins, and repent.
I imagine there are days when you feel like giving up. There must be days of anger and frustration as you endure separation from those you love. There must be days of isolation, and of loneliness. There must be temptation, at times, for hatred and revenge. So, I call you, and remind myself, that we must remember Jesus.
I’m praying they will stay the course. I pray they will realize that “in repentance and rest you shall be saved.” I pray they will not think the difficulties they face give them merit; that they will not be prideful in what they see the Lord do among them; that they will not lose hope when circumstances appear insurmountable.
