"We need more than love and encouragement, information and insight. We need rescue. Anything less will not address what is really wrong with us." -Paul Tripp
We have to understand that what people truly need is rescue. People need God to save them from their sinful state to reconcile them back to Himself through Christ. This helps bring things in proper perspective. At the end of the day, the best thing we can do for others is to beg God to rescue. Yes, it will help as we love and encourage people. Yes, it will help as we teach about who Jesus is and what the gospel is. But at the end of the day God must do His saving work...so pray that He would!
