"Proclaiming this gospel to rebellious mankind can, of course, seem foolish at times. We can be overwhelmed by the difficulty and the size of the task. Yet, thankfully, God has given us only three things to do and then our responsibility is closed.
- The first is to preach the gospel as clearly as possible, answering all questions as clearly as we can to present the truth about the universe, man, and our dilemma.
- The second is to pray for each individual who hears it.
- And the third is, by the grace of God, through faith in the finished work of Christ, to live a life that in some poor fashion will commend the gospel we have preached.
When we have done these three things with compassion, amid this world that has turned away from God and is totally dark and vain, some of them will respond." Francis A. Schaeffer, The Finished Work of Christ, 37.
