Page 10 - SoulWinning Crash Course
P. 10
God is "willing" that everyone will get saved. Do you CARE what God
wants? Then tell people how to get saved. When you get to the Judgment

In 1 Corinthians 9:16, Paul described preaching the gospel as a "necessity."
2 Corinthians 4:3 "But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are

presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? For ye are our glory
and joy."
The words "his coming" there refer to the pre-Tribulation rapture when we
meet Jesus in the air, after which is the judgment seat of Christ, where we'll
