Sometimes people wonder why I emphasize
soulwinning so much. An evangelist once preached at our church and asked how
many of our folks went soulwinning on a regular basis. When approximately half
of the evening crowd raised their hands, he said, “Look at that amazing sight!”
Another evangelist said to me that it would be ridiculous to preach on
soulwinning at our church because so many people already went. But suppose
about half of the army showed up when it was time to fight? Suppose about half
of the football team was there for the opening kickoff? Suppose that half of
the work force came at their appointed time on a given day? We would not think
that was a success. It is possible for us to be better than average in the area
of soulwinning but to still be far below normal.
 
Reasons Every Christian Should Win Souls1.
Because God Commands ItSoulwinning is not an option. It is not
a spiritual gift. It is not a church growth program. It is a clear,
unequivocal, unavoidable command of God.
2.
Because There Is a Hell
Psalm 9:17 still says, “The wicked shall be turned into Hell and
all the nations that forget God.” Revelation 21:8 still says those without
Christ will have their part in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone.
3.
Because We Know How To Escape HellImagine a man having a cure for cancer
and keeping the news to himself. Imagine seeing someone about to be run over by
a car and not trying to warn him. How much worse it is for those of us who know
the only escape from eternal damnation to keep it from those desperately in
need of this truth.
Because There Is a HeavenWhat a wonderful blessing it will be to
be reunited with loved ones for eternity. What a privilege it will be for us to
see those living forever in Heaven, to whom we have given the Gospel of Christ.
Because Our Hands Will Be Stained with the Blood of the Lost We Don’t Tell“When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely
die; and thou givest him no warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his
wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity;
but his blood will I require at thine hand.” Ezekiel 3:18 Who can have the privilege of leading people to Christ? Any believer!
This is not the work of just a few select people. Every Christian is
called upon to witness for Christ, and every Christian can be a
soul-winner. The Lord Jesus said,
