2 Corinthians 5:9-11
Sermon: 2483 The Soul Winner’s Six Mighty Motivations, Part 2
Pray Over This
“Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences.”
2 Corinthians 5:9-11
Ponder This
There’s not going to be any more soul-winning in Heaven. All the soul-winning you’re ever going to do for all eternity, you must do now. Don’t you want to bring somebody to Heaven with you? A denominational worker, who worked his entire career with the Southern Baptist Convention, called me. I went to visit him on his deathbed. He said to me, “Pastor, I am saved, and I’m going to Heaven.” He said, “I am not afraid to die, but I am ashamed to die because I’ve not been a soul winner.”
Set your eyes on the prize of eternity. One day, in the clear light of eternity, you will say, “Oh God, why was I not a soul winner?” You get to Heaven by the grace of God. I cannot work my soul to save—that work my Lord has done. But I will work like any slave for the love of God’s dear Son! Paul said, “You want to know what motivates me? What is my compulsion? To please Him. What is my compensation? I am going to the judgment seat of Christ” (author’s paraphrase).
- Do you feel an urgency to share the Gospel, or is it something that is easy to neglect? Why?
- What is the hardest part about sharing your faith? How are you seeking growth in this area?
