No matter what afflictions and miseries may come upon you in life, you can
make it if you'll live from day-to-day to bring joy to the Lord Jesus
Christ. That's all that will really matter 100-years from now. Nehemiah 8:10
tells us that the Lord's joy is our strength to keep going.
Winning souls with the gospel of Jesus Christ brings joy to our Lord...
-
Luke 15:10, “Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.”
-
“And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!”
-
“But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience”
God is pleased with the Soul Winner. When we preach the gospel, it brings joy to the angels in Heaven when someone repents toward God and gets saved.
God calls the believer's feet “beautiful” in Romans 10:15, because it is with our feet that we “Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled” (Luke 14:23). God wants as many people saved as possible.
The Bible says that the joy of our Lord is our strength. Thus, we can have joy even during the hardest of times and afflictions if we know that we are bringing joy to our precious Lord Jesus Christ by winning souls.
The only true happy life is a life of winning souls to Jesus Christ!
“It is the only happy life to live for the
salvation of souls.”
—Pastor Dwight L. Moody
