In Proverbs chap 11 v30, we read',He that winneth souls is wise',let us ask the question,'why did Jesus come?'. The answer is,'He will save His people from' their sins, it is as simple as that ,nothing complicated,He did not come to set up an earthly kingdom,or to rule from an earthly throne CP John 18 v36, He came to bring in a spiritual kingdom within the hearts of people,as Jesus said to the Pharisees''The kingdom of God is within you''Luke 17 v21,Michael Wilcock comments,'the Kingdom is primarily an inward reality and not a political institution'.When we are without Christ we are lost souls,we have a sinful nature, the fruit of that nature is sinful practices,thoughts, attitudes,wrong attitudes towards God and man.No one is excluded from this,all have sinned and come short of God's glory ( Rom 3 v 36 ).As Christians we know these things,and we know that people need to be saved,from the consequence of their sin and the power of their sin..The consequences of our sin,will follow us beyond the grave,and takes us to hell,to say it is serious,is an understatement,words fail to express the awfulness of that judgement on any human being.That is why we need to witness to people without fear or favour .In Psalm 142 David is in real difficulties,and he declares '.no man cared for my soul'.do we care? if we do not tell them,no one else will,don't be like a bull in a china shop when you witness to people,,be wise as a serpent and as harmless as a dove (Matthew 10 v16 ),you may be considered a fool.fear not man's judgement remember God's word say's he that winneth souls is wise and I would add .'in the home beyond the skies'.
