Do all you can to save a soul
Exodus 3:14
…..I AM that I AM. Tell the people I AM sent you (paraphrased)
Moses was a fugitive who killed an Egyptian to save a Jew. He had run away from justice in Egypt. But God found him in his hiding place and sent him back to Egypt to save the Israelites from bondage.
So he asked God, what do I tell them when I go? Who sent me? They will not believe me. God said, tell them “I AM” sent you.
I was, I am and will forever be.
That is our point of reference when we go out for soul winning. “I AM”, Jehovah, God, Almighty has sent all of us to help save souls.
Matthew 9:37-38 and John 4:35 says (summarized) the fields are white and the harvest is ready, pray for the Lord of the harvest to send laborers..
All Christians are supposed to labor in the vineyard of God winning souls.
1 Corinthians 9:22
…….I am made all things to all men, that I might save some by all means
If we are supposed to labor in the vineyard of God winning souls, then as the Apostle Paul says in the passage above, we should do all we can or make ourselves all things so that some will be saved by all means.
To the weak become weak, and to those under the law, be as though you are also under the law ( we are no longer under the law because Christ saved us and we are under grace), just so that we can win them over.
However, do not do anything against the principles in the bible to win someone over. Operate within the laws of the bible.
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
Prayer
Meditate on the words of this hymn
Brightly beams our
Father’s mercy
From His lighthouse evermore
But to us He gives the keeping
Of the lights along the shore
Let the lower lights be burning
Send a gleam
Across the wave
Some poor fainting
Struggling seaman
You may rescue
You may save
Amen
