Sometimes we feel like someone's spiritual growth hinges on how well we speak to them, but it's a mistake to confuse our role in someone's faith in Christ with God's.

Key Points:

  • Your role is to speak the truth in love.
  • Their role is to respond to truth.
  • God’s role is to work within people’s hearts.

Quote This:

Ephesians 4:15 Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church.
