Our job as Christians is to help each other – not only when we are having hard times financially or emotionally – but also when we are sinning. We don’t take sin seriously enough. Sin, though, is the great enemy of humanity. It is what hurts us and destroys our relationships and separates us from the Lord.
So when we see someone walking away from God, it is our job to go after them. They will not always listen, but it is still our job to try. This is why it is so important to be in church and live our faith in community with others. We may not want others to come after us, but we need to. And we may not want to go after others, but God calls us to care so deeply for others that we are willing to obey Him this deeply.
