8 Biblical Ways To Win Souls For Jesus Part 7 | Adult Bible Class

Lesson 7 – By Following the Pattern of the Model, Human, Soul Winner Intro: Last week we learned how to win souls from the methods and message of Paul. This week we will learn why we win souls from the motives and ministry of Paul. There are two people that told us to follow them: Jesus Christ, Matthew 4:19; and the Apostle Paul, 1 Corinthians 11:1. When we follow them our life will never be the same. It cannot be the same! 1. Paul's manner of life is our model for soul winning. 2 Timothy 3:10 God chose him to be the pattern for the Christian life. 1 Timothy 1:16 Paul is also our pattern for evangelism. Acts 17:2; 1 Corinthians 9:22, 23 Paul gave his life to be a soul winner. Acts 26:19, 22; Philippians 3:7-8   2. Paul's motives are our model for soul winning. He won souls because of "agape" love = Jesus. 2 Corinthians 5:14; Note: Paul knew Jesus died for all men to save them from hell. 2 Corinthians 5:15 It is because of Jesus' love that we are to be Ambassadors for Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:20 Paul was a winner of souls because he was a weeper for souls. Acts 20:31, Ref: Psalm 126:5-6 Paul won souls for the glory of His Savior. 1 Corinthians 1:29-31; Galatians 6:14; Philippians 1:20 3. Paul's Ministry is our model for soul winning. Paul considered soul winning the ministry. Acts 20:24; 1 Corinthians 1:17; 2 Timothy 4:5 Paul was entrusted with the gospel. 1 Timothy 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 2:4 Paul was indebted to the gospel. Romans 1:14-15 Conclusion: Paul received the rewards for winning souls: He pleased his Lord. Acts 20:26; he had his crown of rejoicing. 1 Thessalonians 2:19; His reward was waiting in Heaven! 2 Timothy 4:6-8; Matthew 25:23
