HE THAT WINNETH SOULS IS WISE
____________________
In Proverbs 11:30 it says, “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.”
It happened again today. I was speaking to a lovely young lady and asked her if she had ever been born again. Her response was startling. She said, “I am not worthy enough to be born again.” She, like so many others I have met had no understand what it meant to be born again.
She goes to church, but previously had been in a denomination that considers works as salvation. I shared with her that none of us are worthy, but all of us have a sin nature. I then shared that only sinless blood can be a remedy for our sin. She and I both admitted that we weren’t sinless.
I went on to tell her how Jesus died for the sinner, not the righteous person. I shared that when we accept his payment for our sin that our spirits are born again. She was getting the light of the topic. I told her she needed to ask God to forgive her of her sin and invite Jesus into her life.
Here was a person, like so many church goers, who had no understanding of why we need to be born again. She told me she had never been told what it meant to be born again or how to be born again. After explaining it to her she excitedly asked to receive Jesus as her savior. It was such an exciting moment for her and for me.
Proverbs tells us that he that winneth souls is wise. When I learned this, I was determined to share the way out of hell with everyone that the Lord brought across my path. She now knows what it means to be born again, because now she is!
Are you born again? If so, are you being a good witness for Jesus? He will bring people to you when you have a heart of compassion for those that need him. For more information on what it means to be born again, click here and it will take you to our website.
May you be fruitful and wise as you learn how to share the gospel with others!
