Today, we will discuss saving lost souls. Jesus Christ commanded his disciples to win the lost souls of this world.
The Lord Jesus came to this world to search for lost souls. In his teachings, we see that every lost soul is very precious in the eyes of God.
In this context, he told a parable where a shepherd left his ninety-nine sheep and went out to find the one sheep that was lost. Through this, he wanted to explain that God left everything and sent the Lord Jesus to save the lost people of this world.
The Lord indeed came to this world, and the main reason for his coming was to win the lost souls. Later, Jesus commanded his disciples to preach his word to the ends of the earth.
His disciples carefully followed this command and went to different parts of the world to preach the gospel. Today, everyone in the world knows that Jesus has prepared the way for salvation, and he will come to this world again for the second time to take his righteous children to the kingdom of God.
As believers, we should take this matter very seriously. We should think about how we can win lost souls. Because, as Christians, this is a responsibility that God has given us.
Therefore, we should be very conscious and increase the kingdom and righteousness of the Lord by winning lost souls. The Word of God says that if we give ourselves to this work, God will reward us.
Let’s look at the following Bible verses that talk about winning lost souls.
