11/17/25 WINNING SOULS IS OUR JOB

When I witness to people, I sometimes ask how many times has a stranger ever told them about Jesus? Now I ask you, "how many times has a stranger shared the gospel with you, with or without a gospel tract?"

Folks almost always tell me, "NEVER."
Very, very seldom do people even remember any stranger witnessing to them, and at best it is less than three times... in a lifetime.

That is a tragic reality. Shame on any believer who has not given his testimony or witnessed (verbally or in written form) to a lost person. In fact, the Holy Spirit said the same thing to the Church at Corinth, through Paul.

ANOTHER TRAGEDY is that so few people have ever heard the FULL GOSPEL message of Heart Purity, which comes through the work of Christ through the cross and the empty tomb, and is accomplished in the believer's life by the filling of the Holy Spirit and the washing of the word of God. This is why there are so many backsliders in the world today; this is why there are so many "dead and fruitless branches" in the church today. This is why there are so many disjointed, dysfunctional, disenchanted folks who have turned from Christ and His church.

Jesus died and rose again to make us holy, pure, righteous, but most people who have gotten saved have never heard of the power of God that saves us from all sin and which, always causes us to triumph in Christ. In fact, most people will ridicule the Biblical truth of full salvation, and they will scorn the believer who proclaims it.

There are plenty of people who have never heard a basic presentation of the gospel.
But whether they have heard before or not, your witness can be part of the process, which God uses to reach a lost person, either now or later.
Those who have heard and have gotten saved also need to hear it again and you can be the one God uses to encourage them to press on in the faith and stir them to share the good news with someone else.
If you are living in the victory of His total deliverance, then you will meet believers who need to be told about God's marvelous grace that saves us to the uttermost.
Also, you should have a church and pastor that is Spirit filled and tells the truth in love. Don't hesitate to invite them to your local church gathering.

Our first concern is telling them the good news.
Then to lead them into a born-again experience with Christ.
And then to incorporate them into a loving body of believers, where they can be nurtured and trained.

Believe it. Love it. Live it. Tell it.
So, go ye.
