Christ Covenant Church

Reaching people for Christ requires: 1) the efforts/labor of more than just the church’s pastors (10:1-2 w/6:12-16 w/9:1-6), 2) realizing you will meet many people whose motives for listening to you/following Christ wb selfish/nefarious (10:3), 3) only spending time w/those people who are teachable and truly seeking God’s truth (10:4-6), 4) staying committed to those who are teachable though the conditions may be less than ideal (10:7-9; e.g. the person doesn’t have a sense of urgency/puts little effort into learning or moving forward).We are to warn people that when we share the gospel w/them they wb under God‘s most severe wrath if they reject it since God takes such rejection personally (10:10-16).Like Jesus, those Jesus gives His authority to, have power over the devil and the demons (10:17-19).Being good w/God is far more important than gaining power over the demonic realm (10:20).Jesus knows that the truth about the Father or Himself is too good to be given to anyone who is not willing to totally submit
