Beskrivelse
Soul winning is God's heartbeat. That is why, close to the end of His earthly life and ministry, Jesus Christ commanded His disciples to go into all nations, teach all creatures the gospel and baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. He promised to be with them and support them everywhere they go to carry out their divine assignments. As a result, many have attempted to win the world for Christ by teaching and preaching God's word. The gospel of Christ is truly the power of God unto salvation to the Jews and the Gentiles. The truth is that the gospel is most effective when believers and all who preach and teach it also live it.
The word of God will serve as a veritable and positively impactful instrument to win and change the world for Christ when believers' lives demonstrate His sacrificial and self-sacrificing love, good works, and all other virtues and values that stand Him out. We will win the world for Christ when we are set apart when we are in the world but not of the world when we make Christlikeness our watchword when our lives and lifestyle preach Jesus, holiness, love, and selflessness. The key to achieving all these is righteousness.
The Bible affirms that if by one man's offense, death reigned by one, much more, those who received an abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall in life reign by one, Jesus Christ (Romans 5:17). As believers, we must be in right standing with God for us to win the sinful world for Him. You have received the grace of God and the gift of righteousness. God expects you to use the abundant grace and righteousness He has given you to win the world for Him. The whole world lies in wickedness as well as the terrible hold of Satan and sin. Righteousness is the counterforce that can overcome sin and deliver mankind from its destructive consequences. Beloved, you are saved and called to pursue and bear the fruit of righteousness.
As you seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all other good things are added unto you, unbelievers will see and acknowledge the wonders of Jehovah, your God. Similarly, as you demonstrate the fruit of the Spirit, unbelievers will see your enviable values and seek to serve your living Father. You are clothed in God's righteousness. You are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. You are a city built on a hill that cannot be hidden. Let your light so shine and your righteousness is so evident that men would see your good works, turn to serve, and glorify your Father in heaven.
Beloved, righteousness is the force and weapon you have been given to win the world for Christ. It will make God's word, your prayer life, and soul-winning efforts produce tremendous results. As you consistently live in right standing with God and have good standing with man, making your lifestyle to demonstrate Christ's peerless love and goodness to the world, unbelievers will accept Jesus Christ and make Him their Lord and God.
