Presentation transcript:

Certain Things Remain the Same God’s Concern for the lost, 2 Peter 3:9. God’s Power to Save, Romans 1:16. Souls are very important, Matthew 16:26. Christians are obligated to share the gospel with others, 2 Timothy 2:2. – Must not change the message, but must be willing to change the method. – A local church either evangelizes, or else it dies!

The Attitude of a Soul Winner Is The Attitude of an Athlete Scripture often depicts God’s People under the figure of an athlete. I Corinthians 9:24-27; Philippians 3:13-15; Hebrews 12:1. Runners in a race, to win, had to go “all out;” they ran to receive a “corruptible crown.” Christians run the race of life to receive an incorruptible crown, I Cor. 9:25, and in order to win souls, I Thessalonians 2:19,20. Question: Do I, as a Christian, have the attitude of an athlete?

The Attitude of a Soul Winner is The Attitude of a Soldier! Scripture Depicts the Christian as a Soldier, 2 Timothy 2:1-5; 2 Cor. 10:3-5; Ephesians 6:10-13,17; Revelation 6:1,2. Soldiers must “endure hardness,” spend much time in training. We must “fight the good fight of faith, “ fight sin, fight error, and resist the devil? Question: Do I have the Attitude of a soldier for Jesus?

The Attitude of a Soul Winner is the Attitude of a Lover! The Christian, properly understood is a “lover” in the truest sense! Matthew 22: 35-40; John 3:16,17; 13:1; 15:12,13; Romans 5:6-8; 2 Corinthians 12:15. We must love God, we must love souls, we must love the truth. Love prompts the greatest of all sacrifices! Question: Do I have the attitude of a lover?

The Attitude of a Soul Winner is the Attitude of a Farmer! Scripture Depicts God’s people as farmers, Luke 8:3-5; 2 Timothy 2:6. When Christians teach the word of God to others they are sowing the seed of the kingdom, I Corinthians 3:6; 9:11. Too often the “seed” is left “in the barn,” Haggai 2:19. Question: Do I have the attitude of a farmer?

The Attitude of a Soul Winner is the Attitude of a Fisherman! Scripture Depicts God’s people as fishermen, Matthew 4:18-22; Luke 5:1-11. The disciples were to “catch men.” We, too, must throw out the life line, and catch men with the truth of the gospel! Question: Do I, as a Christian, have the attitude of a fisherman? How often is my “hook” even in the water?

The Attitude of a Soul Winner is the Attitude of a Disciple! Scripture Depicts God’s people as Disciples, John 8:31; Matthew 28:19; Acts 6:1,7; 9:26; Acts 11:26; 20:7, etc. True disciples bear “much fruit,” John 15:8. A true disciple tries to be like his master, Matthew 10:25; Luke 6:40. Jesus, our Master, came to seek and to save, Luke 19:10? Question: Do I, as a Christian, have the attitude of a Disciple?

The Attitude of a Soul winner is the Attitude of a Genuine Christian! Scripture depicts God’s people as Christians, Acts 11:26; 26:28; I Peter 4:16. “Christian” is a combination of “Christ,” coupled with “ian,” meaning “of,” or “belonging to,” Galatians 3:29. One is “of” Christ because (1) Christ died for him, and (2) he was baptized in the name of Christ, I Corinthians 1:12,13. Question: Can I be a true Christian if I refuse: - to be conformed to Christ’s “image,” - Tell people about Christ?

Conclusion: In every realm of activity “attitude determines altitude.” What is your attitude about soul winning? Let us develop the attitude of an athlete, the attitude of a soldier, the attitude of a lover, the attitude of a farmer, the attitude of a fisherman, the attitude of a disciple, and the attitude of a genuine Christian? Question: What is the condition of your soul?
