How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?
Romans 10:14
Have you ever led someone to Christ?
If no, why not?
What is it?The Great Commission is a passage in the New Testament containing Christ's instructions for His disciples and church.
Soulwinning is not an option, nor is it a spiritual gift. All of us, as believers of Christ, are called to evangelism.
My Reflections Personally, I myself, have also never won someone over to the Lord. I've been to Street Evangelism a couple of times but in those times, I never had the courage to speak up for Christ. In those times, I was afraid to speak up for fear of saying the wrong things. Moreoever, I also thought that I did not have the gift of evangelism or preaching and was better in other services to God, so I was always the one praying for my partner who witnessed to the people on the streets. I am not saying that prayer is not important. It is. But, soulwinning is also important and it is our mission as children of God to let others know of this great gift of salvation too. So, choosing to avoid it is not an option. As Paul said, if we don't speak of Christ, who will tell the people out there about Him?
I admit, it is not easy to step out in faith. But if we never do so, we'll always be like the baby who never learns to walk for fear of falling. We'll miss out on the many things we can do for God, just as how the baby can never enjoy playing many games without having learnt how to walk, much less run.
Simple steps, one by one, one at a time.
Let our lives do the talk.
Sometimes, we can speak up for Christ with our lives too. Leading a holy and Christ-like life just might be the words to attract your friends, be it in school or elsewhere, to God. (No bad language, no telling of lies, no hypocrisy but being helpful and sincere, speaking words of encouragement and more)
Are you going to stand OUT and speak UP for CHRIST?Love,
Eleanor
