Soul Winning

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life;
and he that winneth souls is wise. 
Proverbs 11:30

I pray that Christians will do our labor - the joyous labor of winning souls, especially now that the harvest is ripe...

The Bible says that those who win souls are wise. Yet it is really the Lord who works through us because we ourselves cannot save anyone, nor could we talk to them in heaven. Salvation is a work of the Holy Spirit as He makes alive God's word to the ones who need to be born again.

Nevertheless the church, I believe, should get back to old fashioned evangelism - door to door, store to store, and house to house. We likewise need to be in the parks, on the streets, and in schools. Plain and simple, people need the Lord. And we must take Jesus to them.

But without those in the body of Christ who are willing to go and tell our neighbors that they're sinners in desperate need of a Savior - and there's not a person alive who has never sinned - they will never know the great truth about Jesus Christ. They will not experience the forgiveness that He alone offers, nor will they know the cleansing power of His blood.

In addition, concerning the ones we were supposed to share the gospel with but did not, their blood will be upon our hands. And I do not want this to happen. Therefore it is time for the church to arise and go. We must seek for the lost, and the Holy Spirit will lead us to them.
