Soul winning is one of the main purposes of the church, along with glorifying God and teaching disciples. It is the responsibility of every believer based on Jesus' command to make disciples of all nations. Soul winning brings Christians joy and fulfillment, helps them forget their own problems, and contributes to society. It is important because people can die at any time, souls are invaluable, hell is real, and Christians will be accountable for those they could have reached. The harvest is plentiful but laborers are few, and Jesus is returning soon so Christians must work to win as many souls as possible before it's too late.

2. I) What is soul winning?
Matt.28:18-20
A) It is one of the main
purposes of the church
*Purposes of the Church
1) To Glorify God
2) To win souls or to
evangelize the world
3) To teach all the
commandments of
God (discipleship or the
perfecting of the saints for
Christ’s return
*All ministries should be geared toward
these three purposes
B) It is the responsibility of
every believer
*God did not save us just to go to
heaven but to bring other people
to heaven also: Matt. 28:18-20
*We are the salt of the earth and
the light of the world: Mt. 5:13,16
C) It is the source of overwhelming
happiness and joy for all Christians
1) It is therapeutic: It help you forget
your own cares and focus on the cares
of others: Mark 8:36
D) We contribute to the society by
influencing people to live clean
and healthy lives and turn away
from alcohol, drugs, gangs,
homosexuality, etc.
*Indiana has very low crime rate
because of First Baptist Church,
Indiana. We become a part of the
solution and not the problem

3. 2) It proves that we are
wise: Proverbs 11:30
Someone said that soul winning
is like saving a man sleeping on
the railroad tracks and a train is
fast approaching or saving
someone in a burning house.
When you see people in these
two situations, are you going to
procrastinate, or take your time
or be ashamed, or do you go
around the bush or be
indifferent? Or are you going to
be quick to seize him with all
your strength and effort though
you get exhausted afterwards?

4. D) It is something not
to be neglected
because
1) People may be here
today and gone
tomorrow.
They say 3 people
die every second
2) Of the worth of a
soul. A soul is equi-
valent to all the
riches in the world
Mark 8:36
3) Hell is real:
Rev. 2:18, Lk.16:23
Luke 16: 23
4) We are accountable
for the souls of our
loved ones, friends,
neighbors, students,
etc.: Ez. 3:18, 33:8

5. 5) The harvest is plentous: Matt. 9:37
Christians consist of only 1% of the population of Thailand
6) The laborers are few: Matt. 9:37-38
It is difficult to get sinners to church but it is equally difficult to
get the saints out to the field
7) The harvest is ready: John 4: 35
8) The Lord is pleading: Isaiah 6:8

6. 10) Jesus is coming soon
We are in the last days and
Jesus may come anytime.
We see the signs of the
times unfolding: wars and
rumours of wars, impostors
of Christ, famine, pesti-
lence, earthquakes, per-
secution, iniquity shall
abound, the love of many
shall wax cold, false
prophets and the gradual
unfolding of the one-world
government.
Matt. 24:4-14 , John 9:4

7. 11)The reward is eternal
Daniel 2:3
Our converts are our
crowns of rejoicing
I Thess. 2:19
Every soul we win will be a
star in our crowns and these
crowns will be laid at the
feet of God on His throne
when we get to heaven.
It would be a shame if there
were no stars in our crowns.
11) God and angels are happy for
every sinner that repents
Luke 15:10

8. • Only one life,
So soon it will pass,
Only what’s done
For Christ will last
Only one chance
To do His will,
So give to Jesus
all your days,
It’s the only
life that pays
When you recall
You have but one life.
