Summary: In the Gospels, when Jesus would call His disciples, He would say, "come follow me and I will make you fishers of men." When God rescues us, He not only rescues us from our past, He also rescues us to something... as soon as you're rescued from death you're moved to a new way of life. You're not just rescued FROM but you are rescued TO. He doesn't want you just to be the receptacle of God's mercy but also the overflow of it to others. In the same sentence where Jesus said, "repent and believe and follow me," He also said, "and I will make you fishers of men." God doesn't just call you to save you. He calls you so He can work in and through you to reach others! He wants to use you to impact others and draw them into the same saving grace.Don't receive God's grace and sit idly by as others go through life not knowing Him. You have received God's grace for the purpose of sharing it with others. Praise God we have eternity with Him- but are you using that knowledge to bring others into eternity with God? Or are you just resting comfortably in your salvation? God has you on earth for a reason and He wants to use you, right now, today, for something amazing. Never forget what God rescued you from- but what is He calling you to?
