Soul Winning or Ministry - Is there a difference? - (part 3)

Soul Winning is the work of every follower of Christ!

We cannot stay stuck on ministry alone.  Christ started with ministry but ended with soul winning! 

"Christ's method alone will give true success in reaching the people. The Saviour mingled with men as one who desired their good. He showed His sympathy for them, ministered to their needs, and won their confidence. Then He bade them, 'Follow Me.'" 

Christ (1)mingled, (2)showed sympathy, (3)ministered to needs, (4)won confidence, then (5)instructed them in 'following Him'.  Many of us minister real good.... music, ushering, youth group, etc... but we don't bid them to 'follow Jesus' and we certainly don't teach.

"The destruction of souls is the regular employment of Satan and his agents upon the earth. The salvation of souls is the work of every follower of Christ, however weak." ("This Day with God", E.G. White, p171). 

I don't care who you are - if you profess to be a follower of Christ, it is the work of every disciple of Christ to save a soul, no matter how weak your walk with Jesus is.  If you start to do what He commands, you will find that your spiritual walk with grow in proportion.

Are you determined to make soul winning a priority in your life?
