SIXTY SEVENTH BOOK

 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.  He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.  Mark 16:15, 16


       This passage of scripture is commonly known as The Great Commission.  Within this passage we see Jesus instructing His disciples to take the gospel message to the world.  In doing so they were communicating their faith or what they believed to unbelievers in an attempt to persuade lost men to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and
Savior.  This charge wasn't for the disciples only, but for every one of us who are born again believers in Christ Jesus.


       The scriptures often speak to us concerning soul winning.  We are going to share two of those passages with you.

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

Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his ways shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.  James 5:20

Jesus while on earth was the master soul winner, consequently, being His disciples we should be soul winners too.  We should be willing to convey our faith to others.  To become a soul winner we feel there are three essential character traits which must be evident in the life of us the believer to effectively Communicate our faith.  Let us examine these three attributes.


First, We must have had a true born again experience.

For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received.  1 Corinthians 15:3


Paul a true champion of the faith said,

I first had to experience salvation to successfully communicate the salvation message to others.

While journeying to Damascus Paul had a
spiritual encounter with God which changed his life forever.  Having been quicken by the Holy Spirit, Paul went from persecuting the church to winning many souls to Christ.  Often when sharing his faith he began with his conversion experience or his testimony.
Acts 26:13-19

This type of conviction does not come about by joining a
church or being a church member.  However, we who have truly been born again will be eager to share our experience with someone else.  Our testimony or how we came to know Jesus has power.  King Agrippa was almost converted to Christ after listening to Paul testify about how he met Jesus on a road to Damascus.  Our conversion experience is an excellent way to share our faith.


Second, We must be careful of the image we portray.

 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God.  2 Corinthians 3:2, 3


As the old cliché goes, it's not always what we say, but it's what we do.  The life we live before people can cause our witness to be ineffective.  The Bible consists of sixty six books.  We the believers in Christ are the

SIXTY SEVENTH BOOK

Paul said we are a living epistle read by all men.

As people read our life story, the way we live daily before them, we are communicating our faith.  As believers we are to be Christ like.  Simply put, as we submit ourselves to the Holy Spirit who is now the motivating influence of our life, we begin to develop a Christ likeness.

We as Christians should not conduct ourselves in a
worldly or a carnal manner.  We can not use profanity, we can not smoke, we can not drink, we can not hit all the hot clubs, we can not live ungodly before people, and the next day invite them to church.  It just does not work.  When our life story is being read what do people see?


Third, We must have a knowledge of the scriptures.

Study to shew thyself approved unto God.
2 Timothy 2:15

For us to effectively communicate our faith, we must have
knowledge of the Holy Scriptures.  Personally, we feel a lack of knowledge is an area of concern within the body of Christ.  We can not communicate our faith if we do not know or understand what we believe.  People in other religions despite their doctrine being false are well grounded in what they believe.  They will stand firmly and
defend their faith.  They are effective because they know what they believe in.  We as Christian have faith in a risen, living Savior name Jesus Christ and He is true and most believers have difficulty communicating the
faith.  Some can not even tell others how and when they were saved.  Paul encouraged Timothy to study the scriptures.  As Timothy grew in knowledge, he became a strong witness of Christ Jesus as he communicated his faith to others.  However, the average believer today does not study, so consequently, they are not an effective
communicator of their faith.  Remember knowledge is power.  Knowledge of the scriptures will only enhance our spiritual experience in Christ.


As we go through each day, we must take a self examination and see how we fit within these three character traits.  We must allow the Holy Spirit to mold
our spiritual life into what it should be.  We communicate our faith not only by what we say, but also by what we do.

Are we a good testimony of Christ Jesus?
