Mark 16:15-16 (KJV) And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Engaging in soul winning is very vital because, it initiates the process of reconciling the lost souls to Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:18-19 (KJV) And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Soul winning is not just for Pastors and Evangelists but for every (born again) Christian. Soul winning is our general assignment as children of God.
2 Corinthians 5:20 (KJV) Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.
An ambassador is someone appointed by the government of a given nation and sent to represent the nation in a foreign land; he upholds the interest of his nation.
In this light, as a believer, you are here for the interests of our home country — heaven; which is reconciling sinners to God. God has placed upon man a high level of value because man is the only creature that replicates the image of God and because of this value, He took upon Him the form of man; came down to deliver man.
John 1: 14 (KJV) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Your value for human life is an expression of your love for God and this can be clearly shown when you engage in soul winning. Soul winning should be your top priority and value; when you make it your delight, you will become a delightsome personality. Soul winning is the heartbeat of God and a responsibility of every Christian as an ambassador of Christ. The ministry and lesson of Jesus should be your focus.
God Bless You
