Glory -     To abound with God's splendor
            To make God glorious
            To make God honorable
            To promote God

II. God is Glorified When You Bear Fruit - Much Fruit
John 15:8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
1 Cor 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

III. The Fruit of a Christian Is a Christian Who Is Going Soul Winning

Prov 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

IV. The Fruit of the Spirit Is the Fruit That the Holy Spirit Bears,
Not the Christian

Gal 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

V. God Saved You For a Purpose; the Same Purpose For Which Jesus Came to Earth
John 20:21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

VI. Jesus Was Sent to Seek and to Save That Which Was Lost, and We Are Sent to Do the Same
Luke 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

VII. We Are to Be a Peculiar People
    A. 1 Pet 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
The word peculiar deals with a directed people, or channeled.
God gave you a direction when you got saved.
    B. 1 Pet 4:3-4 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:
4 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
    C. What looks peculiar and strange to everybody is the fact that you don't do the things you used to do.
You are not going the same direction.
    D. You have found the purpose for which God created you.

VIII. God Comes Seeking Fruit on You and Me
Luke 13:6-9 He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.
7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
9 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

IX. God Commands Us to Be Soul Winners
    A. Jesus said He is with you when you go.
Matt 28:19-20 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
    B. Jesus said to tell your friends of His salvation to you.
Mark 5:19 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.
    C. You've been commanded to tell every person.
Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
    D. You're never supposed to wait and put it off.
John 4:35-36 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
    E. Jesus saved you and ordained or empowered you to do what He has commanded you to do.
John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
    F. It is a shame to us that more people in our neighborhoods aren't saved.
1 Cor 15:34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
    G. Paul said he was a debtor because He knew how to go to heaven
Rom 1:14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.
    H. God says you are supposed to tell others about the gift you received.
1 Pet 4:10 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
Isa 62:6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,
Isa 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
Isa 44:8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.
        1. The Bible definition of the Gospel:
1 Cor 15:3-4 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
        2. Ezek 3:17-19 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
        3. God will hold us responsible for witnessing to every person. Ezek 33:7-9 So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
        4. A person gets saved when he says "yes" to Christ.
Isa 65:24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
    I. Soul winning is you confronting people, one on one. It is not living a good life in front of people.
Confronting people:
        1. John 1:41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
        2. John 1:45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
        3. John 4:28-29 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
        4. Matt 4:19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
    J. The fact that you are going to be held accountable should drive you to persuade people to be saved.
II Cor. 5:11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
Persuade - To convince by argument
Rom 6:12-13 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
Luke 14:23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
Compel - To threaten or force out of necessity.
Matt 10:40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
        1. Consider Who you represent - Christ Jesus Himself.
        2. Consider how you present Him Whom you represent.
    K. Salvation is a Person.
        1. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
        2. I Jn 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
2 Cor 5:18-20 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
        1. How would Jesus compel someone to come in?
        2. How would Jesus persuade men?
Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
        1. You are God's mouthpiece.
        2. He just needs someone to give the Gospel.

The fact that Jesus could actually love someone like you enough to suffer your Hell should be enough to put you on the soul-winning track all the days of your life.

        1. 2 Cor 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
CONSTRAIN, v.t. [L., to strain, to bind. See Strain.] In a general sense, to strain; to press; to urge; to drive; to exert force, physical or moral, either in urging to action or in restraining it. Hence,
        1. To compel or force; to urge with irresistible power, or with a power sufficient to produce the effect.
        The spirit within me constraineth me. Job 32.
        I was constrained to appeal to Caesar. Acts 28.
        For the love of Christ constraineth us. 2 Corinthians 5.
        2. To tie fast; to bind; to chain; to confine. He binds in chains the drowsy prophet, and his limbs constrains.
        3. To necessitate. Did fate or we the adulterous act constrain?
        4. To force; to ravish.
        5. To produce in opposition to nature; as a constrained voice; constrained notes.

XI. It takes four things for a person to get saved:

Look on soulwinning as a business, not an incidental matter; as work, not play; as time well spent, not wasted; as a privilege, not a borsome duty.
It is impossible to give the gospel to the wrong person when Jesus told us to preach the gospel to "every creature."
The monument you should want after you're dead is one with two legs going around the world - a saved sinner telling about the salvation of Jesus Christ.
The only alternative to Soulwinning is disobedience to Christ.
We visit a lot of people we never get, but we get a lot of people we never visit; but we would never get a lot of people we never visit if we didn't visit a lot of people we never get.
Christ invites you to come but commands you to Go.
This generation of saints is going to answer to God for this generation of sinners.
If your Christianity is worth having, it should be worth sharing.
