Jesus declared this world to be a field ripe for harvest. His people are to spread the gospel message—sow the seed-- to a world that’s perishing.
John 4:35 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.
The precious gospel message is that God loves man and died to save him from hell, then arose from the dead to offer justification and eternal life to all who simply place their faith in this One who died and rose again! It’s precious because it works for anyone who receives it in his/her heart.
The Spirit of God is precious because He gives us the words to speak as we witness, and He gouges the heart of the lost person we are witnessing to. Our personal testimony is powerful.
Do believers have a passion for souls? Hell is real. The Word of God mentions its horrors in several places. When we are truly moved by the plight of the lost, there will be tears, burdens, and prayers.
Psalm 126:5-6 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him..
You can rejoice, knowing you shared the Gospel. If someone gets saved, there is one more soul who will not go to Hell. If they don’t get saved, remember, believers plant the seed, but God brings the harvest. Ask God to give you a burden for lost souls.
