If you are a Christian and you don’t win souls its a sin just
like lying, getting drunk, hatred, murder or adultery.it is a wicked and
terrible sin. Every preacher and every Christian ought to win souls. Any Christian
who does not win souls is sinning. Here are some reasons why we must win souls.
Because it is the
great commission (Matthew 28;18-20)
“And Jesus came and
spake unto them ,saying, All power is given unto me in Heaven and in earth.Go
ye therefore ,and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father,and
of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost;teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever I have commanded you;and ,lo, I am with you always, even unto the
end of the world. Amen”
We call this the great commission and it contains three
teachings. First, go and teach all nations the word-that means make disciples
of men in all nations by teaching them how to be saved. Secondly, baptize them.
Third, teach them to observe all things that Jesus commanded us. Soul winning
is the main thing with God. If it isn’t first with the preacher, then the
preacher isn’t right. If souls winning isn’t the first thing with the church,
the church isn’t right . When we fail to win souls we commit the sin of disobedience
to the main command that Jesus Christ ever gave. We have an all-inclusive
command for every Christian in the Great Commission. Not to obey that is not to
obey Jesus on the one thing He died for, the main thing He gave instruction
about.
To Avoid Being Held
Responsible For The Blood Of Others(Ezekiel 3;17-19)
“Son
of man, I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel; so hear the word I
speak and give them warning from me. 18 When
I say to a wicked person, ‘You will surely die,’ and you do not warn them or
speak out to dissuade them from their evil ways in order to save their life,
that wicked person will die for[a] their sin, and I will hold you accountable
for their blood. 19 But
if you do warn the wicked person and they do not turn from their wickedness or
from their evil ways, they will die for their sin; but you will have saved
yourself.”
This passage is perhaps one of the clearest
of all scriptures on the continuous command to evangelize and reach out to the
lost souls. Ezekiel is told that he is
the watchman for the house of Israel and
he need to warn unbelievers of their
evil ways in order to save them from God’s
judgment . God told Ezekiel that He will hold him accountable for those that he
has not evangelized to who die in their sins. Sadly , there are many Christians
who do not care about the warning to the wicked
for them to turn from their evil
ways and telling them about the good news of Jesus. Consequently many Christians
will have bloody hands when they get to heaven and would be judged for their
failed efforts to evangelize. Some claim that unbelievers generally do not
repent after reading tract, or having sermon preached to them as many rather
argue the existence of God, the authority of the Bible and make other attacks against Christian faith ,therefore
there is no need to evangelize. I am convinced and believe that the best way to
evangelize is clearly to “preach the word” and let the Holy Spirit take care of
the rest. You are expected to keep watch over your cell members, your
family,your household, your colleagues at work, your church members etc. This is
because if any of these miss heaven you will answer for their blood.
Soul
Winners Are Wise(Proverbs11;30)
“The
fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he that winneth souls is wise”
The Bible describes a soul winner as a wise
person . what does it mean if we do not win souls? Let us answer this for
ourselves.
To
Deliver Souls From Destruction (1 Timothy 2;4, 2Peter3;9)
It is not in the plan of God that any soul
should get lost. That is why He gave His
only begotten son Jesus Christ to die in
our place so that we shall inherit eternal life. Soul winning should be the
focus of every believer. There should be urgency to reach out to others.
Someone once said,if we really believe in the horror and pain of the fiery
devils in hell, then we will crawl across broken glass to tell one poor,lost
soul about Jesus—who(Jesus) is the only way to escape an eternity in the awful
place called hell.
Because
It Glorified God(John 15;8)
“
herein is my father glorified ,that ye bear much fruit;so shall ye be my
disciples.”
There are those who say that our prime
motivation is not to win people to Christ but to glorify God. I do not disagree
with them, but I must remind them that the Bible clearly says God is glorified
when we bring forth much fruit and one of the fruits we bear is souls. How many
souls have you won since you became born again? Be fruitful. Win a soul today.
How are we responsible for the choice other's make not to believe or say they Believe in a higher power but not necessarily God or i have my beliefs leave me alone I don't believe in God i don't wan't to hear it or talk about it.
