Personal Soul-Winning (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Personal Soul-WinningNo higher honor could be conferred upon the Christian, and no greater privilege be given the believer in Jesus Christ than to be associated with Him in the great and blessed work of bringing a lost world to the knowledge of the truth. "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us," to put us into so great a ministry.It is not possible for every Christian to be a preacher or a teacher in spiritual things, for these are special gifts bestowed by the Holy Spirit upon certain believers, even as it hath pleased Him. But there is no Christian, however humble or insignificant he may feel himself, or others esteem him to be, who is not appointed by the Spirit to be a winner of souls. One often wonders whether the honor conferred upon the believer of being a soul-winner is not greater than the conferred gift of teaching or preaching; and whether or not at the last day, when the rewards are distributed, the personal soul-winner will receive as great, if not a greater reward than many a teacher or preacher. Daniel 12:3 (R. V.) is filled with glorious comfort for the man who seeks to turn sinners to God: "And they that be teachers shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness, as the stars forever and ever."That the individual Christian may be prompted, encouraged, and equipped to do this kind of Personal Soul-Winning work, is the purpose of this book. Its popular or conversational style of address will, it is hoped, enable the book to more thoroughly accomplish its purpose.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
