be rewarded for the souls we've won. (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17)
WHEN AND HOW OFTEN TO DO SOULWINNING
Acts 5:42 says of the apostles: "And daily in the temple, and in every
house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ." (And that was
right after the Jewish priests BEAT them and commanded them NOT to teach
in Jesus' name! What's our excuse?!) Soulwinning should be a way of life,
not just a "chore" or a "special event" that you do every once in a while. We
should "be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you
a reason of the hope that is in you..." (1 Peter 3:15)
Look for opportunities to witness to people everywhere you go. Be
proactive. If you will be creative and think on your feet, you can CREATE
opportunities to share the gospel. If someone asks "How you doing?" you
can say "I'm doing GREAT; I'm SAVED! How 'bout you?" There's a
window to witness. (If there's no time, give them a gospel tract.) If
someone asks "Where are you going?" say "I'm going to heaven! Where are
you going?" If someone says "What's your name?" say "Who cares? I've
got a NEW name written down in glory according to Revelation 2:17 cuz I've
been born again! How 'bout you?"
Be "soul conscious." Think of people, not as irrelevant strangers, but as
SOULS that Jesus wants.
PREPARATION FOR SOULWINNING
BE SAVED YOURSELF!
Know your own testimony of salvation. If you can't remember how you got
saved, how can you tell others how to be saved? If you remember it well,
your own testimony can be used at times to make a gospel presentation more
personal and heartfelt.
