Something massive and eternal is at stake in our labors. The work of preaching and teaching is God’s chosen means to secure and preserve the final salvation of his Church. That’s all. In so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers—not that you will justify them, but that these will be the means that God will use to secure and preserve the final salvation of Christians. So teach, preach, give yourself, persist, and devote yourself. This is no time for “sleeping and snoring.” As pastors, we are not special. But we are called to be specialists! We have a specialized call, we have specialized labor, and it involves this Book.
