Saving a soul…
Saving a soul…
Can be one of the most exciting
events of your life
Saving a soul…
Can be one of the most exciting
events of your life and of your
eternity…
Saving a soul…
Can be one of the most exciting
events of your life and of your
eternity…
But it will not happen without
your very strong desire!
Since God gives the increase…
1 Cor 3:6-8
6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God
gave the increase. 7 So then neither
he who plants is anything, nor he who
waters, but God who gives the
increase.
NKJV
Since God gives the increase…
We get to share in the work
Since God gives the increase…
We get to share in the work
And we get to see the results
Since God gives the increase…
We get to share in the work
And we get to see the results
As well as rejoice in them!
1 Cor 3:6-8
6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God
gave the increase. 7 So then neither he
who plants is anything, nor he who
waters, but God who gives the increase. 8
Now he who plants and he who waters
are one, and each one will receive his
own reward according to his own labor.
NKJV

Sin and Hate the Garment

Hell?
2 Cor 5:10-11
10 For we must all appear before the
judgment seat of Christ, that each one
may receive the things done in the
body, according to what he has done,
whether good or bad. 11 Knowing,
therefore, the terror of the Lord, we
persuade men; but we are well known
to God, and I also trust are well known
in your consciences.
NKJV
Do We Really Care About…
Heaven?
2 Cor 5:14-15
14 For the love of Christ compels

live should live no longer for
themselves, but for Him who died
for them and rose again. NKJV

in heaven?

from stumbling,
And to present you faultless
Before the presence of His glory with
exceeding joy,
NKJV

Our present sensations
of Joy?

4 Therefore, my beloved and longedfor brethren, my joy and crown, so
stand fast in the Lord, beloved.
NKJV
1 Thess 2:19-20

crown of rejoicing? Is it not even you
in the presence of our Lord Jesus
Christ at His coming? 20 For you are
our glory and joy.
NKJV

4 I have no greater joy than to hear that
my children walk in truth.
NKJV

Rejoicing with the angels?
Luke 15:8-10
8 "Or what woman, having ten silver coins,
if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp,
sweep the house, and search carefully until
she finds it? 9 And when she has found it,
she calls her friends and neighbors
together, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have
found the piece which I lost!' 10 Likewise, I
say to you, there is joy in the presence of
the angels of God over one sinner who
repents."
NKJV
Everyone that really, deeply
wants to see a soul saved, will!
Everyone else will make an
excuse or proclaim “blame”!
