Faithful in Evangelism

Was the wisest thing we as Christians can do to honor God. Listen to Adrian Rogers.

Consider yourself a wise person.

Let me put another way, does God consider you a wise person I want to tell you something very frankly, if you are not endeavoring to win souls you circulated hard not wise. The Bible says in Proverbs chapter 11 verse 30. He that souls is wise. Did that get into your heart. He that when it souls is why is this true to the word finding teaching the dynamic teaching and insights of Adrian Rogers, the wisest thing we could do in the eyes of God is to remain faithful in evangelism. Our souls are of great worth every so has the potential to be transformed into the likeness of Jesus Christ orchestrate furthering further from you. That's why the Lord has commanded us to win souls for his glory.

Psalm 126 reveals the soul winner's promise.

If you have your Bible turn there now as Adrian Rogers reveals how to be faithful in evangelism God's word and find Psalm 126 Psalm 126 look in verses five and six Psalm 126 verses five and six is one of the great promises in the word of God.

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and we very precious.

See, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. That is the soul winner's promise.

Do you consider yourself a wise person. I let me put another way, does God consider you a wise person I want to take something very frankly, if you are not endeavoring to win souls you serve.

You ladies are not wise. The Bible says in Proverbs chapter 11 in verse 30 P that Gwyneth souls his wives. He that women souls is why it's hey did that get into your heart. Mass ABA. He that when it souls is why why is this true. First of all because of the great worth of soul is a safe you get wealthier.

Why it says he that when it souls is why Jesus when he spoke of the great worth of the soul said watch it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul.

What was he saying there that one soul is worth more than all the world, all the stocks and bonds. The rubies, the diamines, the banks, the schools sports emporiums put together one soul. Why is a soul so valuable. What makes anything valuable. First of all, it is it desirable to someone wanting what you say. How can we tell whether someone wants something a price to pay for any appraiser will tell you that in making an appraisal of a piece of property.

The prime question is what is someone willing to pay for in that group. What is someone willing to pay for what was the Lord Jesus willing to pay for you.

First Peter one verses 18 and 19 for as much as you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things such as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ as a lamb without blemish and without spot, Jesus with his lad in agony and blood died upon that cross because that's how much he valued a soul soul is valuable not only because of desirability, but it's valuable because of durability. What is going to last forever. These buildings and again the last forever. Close you. Where are going to disintegrate your gold and silver will turn to canker what will last forever, so when God made the human soul, God made it in his own image, and your soul could never cease to exist anymore than God could cease to exist. Your soul will go nameless, timeless, dateless, measureless when the sun, moon and stars have grown cold.

Your soul will still be in existence. There was a time when you were not and never will be a time when you are not your soul will exist forever either in heaven or in hell. You said you believe in everlasting punishment in hell.

Indeed, I do Revelation chapter 20 in verse 10 and the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever beast and the false prophet are human beings who will be tormented day and night forever and ever. You see, desirability, durability outing. Another thing that makes a soul so valuable is possibility. Possibility what your soul can become occupying the sea that you're in this morning a really three-person you say will no longer so crowded that Free Press is there.

There's the person you are now there's a person you could VMware will be if you give your heart to Jesus Christ. Ultimately, and there is a person of vileness and wickedness that you will ultimately be. If you turn from the Lord Jesus Christ.

The person sitting next to you is the most sacred thing you will ever see on this earth apart from the face of Jesus when he comes the person sitting next to you is the most sacred thing you will ever see is nothing more sacred than a soul made in the image and the likeness of God think that that person next to you has the potential of being transformed into the likeness of Jesus Christ horrible potential of spending and eternity in the very pits of hell it wise to win a soul because of the valuable soul. We are wise to win a soul because of the command of Christ. You see, soul winning is a command of our Lord is not a suggestion, it is a command.

Matthew 28 verse 18 and Jesus came and spake of them saying, all power is given unto me in heaven and enter the word power literally means authority, go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and of the son and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. And below I am with you always, even to the end of the world and you can put all the Bible of the two words come and go, come to Jesus and then go tell others is what it is he that when it souls is wise. Now go back to the verse that we read and were going to look today at the soul winner's promise, and therefore, things I want to see in this passage of Scripture. First of all I want you to see what I'm going to call the soul winners program in verse six he that go with full he that goeth for you will never be a soul winner until you get here you go.

Nothing will take the place of knowing you say well I I don't necessarily go out to be a soul when I but I do want to live a good life.

The people see my life and come to Jesus day I got news for you are not saved by your life, but by his bed and if you do not tell them how you live the life that you live your taking praise under false pretenses.

You will never be a soul winner until you start to put this verse in the margin. March 16 verse 15 and he said under them, go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. And when he gave the great commission. He said to go and make disciples. It literally means as you go back.

Here's the second thing I want you to see it is the soul winners passion look at it again. He that goeth forth, and what is the next word and we back up to verse five they that sow in tears shall reap in joy what is wrong today. We have lost our passion look around you and see the confusion, the heartache, the despair, the marching mailing multitude who do not know your heart will be moved with compassion very thing I want to see not only the soul winners program in the soul winners passion but the soul winners power. Where is the power look in verse six he that goeth forth and we picked bearing precious seed. What is that, see the seed is the word of God.

The parable of the sower.

Jesus plainly said the seed is the word and is power in that seed. Hebrews 4 verse 12 says for the word of God is quick and powerful the word quick is the word Zola the word powerful is the word in our day's so on is the word we get our word zoo from our life. Zoology, there's life in the seed and because his life in the sea there is incredible power word of God is quick, and powerful, and that is the power that the soul when I ask there is power in the word of God. I preached it long enough to know that if you keep scattering the seed it will sprout and give life and sometimes the hardest part will crack. I've seen people come in here with parts like concrete with steel bands around seen the word of God is just see just to see all the so how are our job, but now listen what is a C. If you don't select it is not what you know it is what you so that It is not what you know is what you so that counts.

Here are 10 hand spell in the heart and soul and were that is the soul winners power only read if you so Galatians chapter 6 verse seven whatsoever a man so that shall he also reap. If you want people to believe you got to give them something to believe the powers in the seed, the powers in the sea there is a soul in this program he that goeth forth as the soul winners passion and wait for business owners power and Gareth precious seed. I want you to see the soul winner's promise. What is the soul winner's promise look again in verse six he that goeth forth, and weep, bearing precious seed.

Here's the promise are you ready for, shall doubtless underscore the word. Doubtless, doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him, friend. You shall doubtless have results now that doesn't mean that everybody witnessed is going to get saved.

They are not. Not everyone that our Lord witness to got Satan, the rich young ruler went away sorrowful. They could never had a better witness than the Lord Jesus gave to him. Our Lord in the gospel of Mark gave a parable of the sower who went forth the so and is he scattered the seed out of his basket son fell by the wayside.

That is the soil was hard and he couldn't get in. Others fell on stony ground, it got in, but he couldn't get down because beneath the soil in the subsurface was a rocky ledge. Other seed fell among foreign's and it sprouted within the Wii's and the briars came and choked it out, but some fell on good ground and brought forth fruit in that parable. The sower was Jesus Christ himself and he didn't say well that's bad soil. I won't put any of seed on it that's rocky soil and they thought he just so the sea folks you don't know you don't know many times a person you think is ready to come to Christ, that so I look so warm and moist and fertile underneath is a Rockledge you can't see it but they so hard, but sometimes the soil that you don't think is going to sprout with it bring forth and blossom and bloom and blood and bear fruit.

Just so the sea just so the seed everywhere you go, just so the scene ask God to give you an open door. It is God that gives the increase.

You can't make a seed grow what you can so see the apostle Paul said I've sewed a polished water but it is God that gives the increase.

We are dependent upon him, but there is this promise if you keep sewing beyond the shadow of any doubt you will have a harvest.

What a joy it will be. What a joy it will be when you win your first soul to Jesus Christ.

If you never done that when somebody puts a bear hug you and says thank you for telling me about Jesus is nothing like that.

I preached a big crowd sometimes. I preached as many as 500,000 people at one time I will tell you the truth before God. The greatest joy that I get is handpicked for when I speak to one person face-to-face heart-to-heart and tell that person about Jesus Christ I've had some thrills I've had some honors but nothing is sweeter, more wonderful than introducing somebody to Jesus Christ.

They that sow in tears will reap in joy. Did you know that you get more joy out of leaving a person to Christ in you got when you got saved.

I strip you get more joy out of leaving the person of Jesus Christ and you got when you got saved and why is that because you know more about what is happening to him and you knew what was happening to you at that time and that true you know more now about what is happening to him than you knew what was happening to you when you gave your heart to the Lord Jesus Christ and you know that later on he will discover what he received in the Lord Jesus Christ, that he says were going to come with rejoicing, bringing our sheaves with us. What is a she is about midway your harvesting. We bundled up and live. When you harvest another new bundled up and lightly and why they do that there waiting for the Lord of the harvest to come, when the Lord of the harvest comes in all those bundles I caught up to meet the Lord of the harvest. What a day that will be on a day that will be. I mean, when the battle is over we shall come rejoicing, bringing his sheaves membrane at Jesus feet people say thank you for giving to the Lord.

He that goeth forth in weep, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with say if you joy is gone and your discontented painter feel like you never really found the purpose of life is successful in business you ended by your neighbors, and yet your heart is empty.

Give yourself the soul winning you cannot be a faithful Christian unless you give your heart to bringing souls to Jesus Christ with an old song that haunts me and I hope it will haunt you. One line in that song says this must I go and empty-handed must I meet my Savior so without one soul with which to greet him. Must I empty handed. Go house by the bedside of a dying man who love God with all his heart but he wasn't a soul winner and in the strange dichotomy he had been saved, but it never once souls he said to me if I would call his name.

Many of you would knowing he said to me pastor. I'm not afraid to die.

But he said I'm ashamed because I have been so I'm not afraid to die. I say but I am ashamed to because I have been a soul winner must die and empty-handed must I meet my Savior so without one soul with which the greeting must I empty-handed go. Please don't ask God to help you when 10 people please ask him to help you win one jobs one and when we get that done will start on another a man he that goes forth in weep, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with the same bringing his sheaves with if you personally have never yet received the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, and you want to be saved. He will save you today he died for your sin.

He paid your Cendant with his blood on the cross. Would you pray a prayer like this old God, I need to be saved and I want to be saved and right now like a little child I open my heart and I received the Lord into my life as my Savior. My friend, my Lord and my master again.

Now, Lord, to make me what you want me to be in the Lord today. Help me to make it public in your name I pray, amen. Which he prayed to receive Jesus Christ just now.
