Title: More Than Salvation
Memorize: The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise. Proverbs 11:30 (Nkjv)
Bible Reading: Romans 10:15 (Nkjv)
[15] And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!”
Message:
After a fellow accepts Jesus Christ into his or her life, God does not just leave such a person to figure out how to remain holy by himself or herself.
He gives the fellow the ability not to sin again by turning his or her heart from a heart of stone to one of flesh.
A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will l put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. Ezekiel 36:26
The Scripture above is the real meaning of grace. Beyond giving you the grace to live a holy life, God is so generous that He can even use you to save other people’s souls from going to hell.
This is such a rare privilege because anyone you bring into the kingdom of God becomes your sibling in the Lord.
Can I ask you, my dear child, when was the last time you won a soul for Christ?
When was the last time you allowed God to use you to snatch someone from the hands of the devil into the loving hands of Christ?
Reflect on these questions, and make a decision to talk to someone about Jesus today.
Action Point:
Tell every unbeliever around you about Jesus Christ before it is too late.
HYMN 31: WONDERFUL STORY OF LOVE
1 Wonderful story of love! Tell it to me again;
Wonderful story of love! Wake the immortal strain.
Angels with rapture announce it,
Shepherds with wonder receive it;
Sinner, O won’t you believe it?
Wonderful story of love!
Refrain:
Wonderful! Wonderful!
Wonderful story,
Wonderful story of love!
2 Wonderful story of love!
Though you are far away;
Wonderful story of love!
Still he doth call today.
Calling from Calvary’s mountain,
Down from the crystal bright fountain,
E’en from the dawn of creation;
Wonderful story of love!
Refrain
3 Wonderful story of love!
Jesus provides a rest;
Wonderful story of love!
For all the pure and blest;
Rest in those mansions above Us,
With those who’ve gone on before Us,
Singing the rapturous
chorus;
Wonderful story of love!
Refrain
