How To Win A Soul 2

Notice that Paul planted (The Word of God) Apollos watered it but God gave the increase.

When you share the gospel, you have shown someone love. Sharing the gospel with someone and praying for them are the most loving things you can do for them. Expect some people to receive Jesus and expect some to reject Him. Don’t get hurt feelings if they reject Him. Continue to be gracious if they do. They have not rejected you, they have rejected Christ. Rejecting you does them no harm. Rejecting Jesus is what harms them. Here is what the Lord said to Samuel:

The important issue is not that they reject you. The important issue is whether they receive or reject Christ.

If some do receive Christ, be prepared to do all the follow-up you possibly can. Don*t let the possibility that you won*t be able to do follow-up prevent you from sharing the gospel. Most of us probably receive most of our spiritual food after we are saved from spiritual leaders and teachers other than the one that led us to Christ.

Before you share the gospel pray for Divine appointments. Pray for open doors. Pray for boldness. Pray for guidance. Pray for forgiveness for your own sins. After they have received Christ pray for them. If at all possible pray for them in their presence. Pray that they will learn to understand the Bible and love it. Pray that they will find God*s will for their life. Pray that they will learn that God*s will is best. Pray that the Lord will give them great assurance. You will be teaching them a little about how to talk to the Lord and to depend upon Him.

When sharing the gospel with individuals, don*t do all the talking. Try to get to know them. Ask questions. Their answers will tell you if they are already saved or need to be. Their answers will tell you what they believe. Their answers will tell you if they are open to the gospel. Their answers will tell you if they have been exposed to the Bible. Their answers will reveal their attitude toward the Bible. Early in the conversation, the unbeliever might do most of the talking. Once you begin sharing the gospel, they will usually do most of the listening. Often they will have some knowledge of the Bible. You might be able to build on that. The biggest problems are when they firmly believe things that are unbiblical. You can give them the scriptures that might correct their wrong beliefs. Some of the wrong beliefs might evaporate as you share scripture with them. If they cling firmly to their unbiblical beliefs they are clinging to an idol, and the best things you can do for them are to graciously continue to love them and pray for them.
