Soul-Winning

Proverbs 11:30 says that “he who wins souls is wise”. In the original language of this text, the Hebrew, the meaning is even more vivid: the word “wins” is translated “rescue” in Proverbs 24:11. This word can also be translated as “to lead”. When God uses us to lead someone to faith in Christ, we are winning them to forgiveness and eternal life. We are also rescuing them from death and hell. Are you wise? “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life” (Proverbs 11:30) Jesus said, “Follow me and I will make you fishers of men”. When you go out to witness for Christ with a burdened heart, depending on the Lord, you will return rejoicing, bringing lost souls to Christ. God will use you in soul-winning if you tell Him you can’t do it in yourself and ask and trust Him to do it through you. You will be amazed at the opportunities God will open for you if you are ready to give an answer for the hope that is in you. So put on the preparation of the gospel of peace and share the gospel with someone today. Do it in faith and God will give you joy. He is with us as we live our lives evangelistically.
