“HE THAT WINNETH SOULS IS WISE”

Proverbs 11:30

 

                I know that salvation is altogether the work of God’s free-grace in Christ. The power of God alone can change a man’s heart and give him faith in Christ. But I also know that God is pleased to use men as instruments to accomplish this great work. And the wise man will seek to be useful in the hands of God to win souls to Christ. I hope you are wise. You desire to be used of God in the conversion of sinners. But you don’t know what to do. Let me offer these suggestions:

                TELL MEN WHAT CHRIST HAS DONE FOR YOU. Do not enter into theological debate with those who believe not. But do not be ashamed to tell men what you have experienced. As you have opportunity, tell men what you know to be true. “One thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.”

                DISTRIBUTE GOOD GOSPEL MATERIALS TO YOUR NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS. Don’t load them down with books they will not read. But give them a tape of a good message that has blessed your heart. Or give them a tract that states the gospel clearly and briefly.

                INVITE THEM TO COME WITH YOU TO HEAR THE GOSPEL. When you invite someone to come to church with you, do not try to disguise your motive. Invite them to come with you to hear the servant of God preach the gospel. God might be pleased to use you in the salvation of sinners!
