Why is it important for Christians to understand that Jesus cannot be hawked?

Answered in 1 source

Understanding that Jesus cannot be hawked preserves the integrity of the Gospel and affirms His saving power, not relying on human will.

The concept of 'hawking' Jesus suggests a conditional offer of salvation that is dependent on human willingness. However, this undermines the biblical narrative that emphasizes sovereign grace, where salvation is entirely the work of God. Ephesians 2:8-10 clarifies that salvation is by grace through faith, not of works or man's choice. Recognizing that Jesus must be preached as the all-powerful Savior who acts in accordance with God's will ensures that believers comprehend the fullness of His saving work and the assurance of their salvation. Presenting Jesus in a way that relies on human effort diminishes His glory and capacity to save, misleading many about the true nature of grace.
