I'm not sure we would call soul winning a lost truth, rather a neglected truth. However, it is included for this reason - as a whole, we have stopped talking about the LOVER of our soul. When the LORD JESUS says the world will hate you because it has hated HIM - we flee. We have left our first love and, by and large, stopped talking about HIM as HE has revealed HIMSELF in HIS Word. It's a bit like the country song that says, "I believe in GOD but I don't talk much about it..." Soul winning is an end result of being in love with JESUS. It is what comes naturally from one who is born again and values CHRIST JESUS above all.
Jesus says, "If you love ME, you will obey ME." The great commission is to go and make disciples. You do not make disciples by good deeds (living out the gospel). You only make disciples when you sow the Word of GOD in a person's life and GOD opens their eyes and ears. Soul winning should be an active part of every Bible believing church. Supporting missionaries or giving to organizations is not what I mean...does the church you belong too actively seek to proclaim the gospel? If not why?
Here are the main Scriptures used in this episode. May they go deep and bear much good fruit in you. Grace and peace to all who are in CHRIST JESUS the LORD!
18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
19 “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
(Mt 28:18–20)
9 But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God’s OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
(1 Peter 2:9)
6 For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die.
8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.
(Romans 5:6–9)
