“For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? Or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?” Esther 8:6
To save a soul, God the Father: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
God the Son: “He left the splendor of heaven, knowing His destiny, was the lonely hill of Golgotha, there to lay down His life for me. If that isn’t love, the ocean is dry; there’re no stars in the sky, and the sparrow can’t fly. If that isn’t love, then heaven’s a myth, There’s no feeling like this, if that isn’t love.”
“And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.” 2 Corinthians 5:18-19. THUS:
“If to Christ our only King, Men redeemed we strive to bring,
Just one way may this be done–We must win them one by one.
Side by side we stand each day, Saved are we but lost are they;
They will come if we but dare, Speak a word backed up by prayer.
Only cowards dare refuse, Dare this gift of God misuse;
Ere some friend goes to his grave, Speak a word his soul to save.
So, you bring the one next to you, And I’ll bring the one next to me;
In all kinds of weather we’ll all work together,
And see what can be done,
If you’ll bring the one next to you, And I bring the one next to me;
In no time at all we’ll have them all,
So win them, win them one by one.”
–C. Austin Miles
It is not so much a question as to whom we should try to win, as it is, will we try? The one(s) you think you cannot talk to, are the one(s) you need to “Speak a word backed up by prayer.”
Today is the day of salvation, “Ere some friend (family member) goes to his grave, Speak a word his soul to save.”
While prayer is the key to heaven–it will be the going forth by faith that will unlock the door.
MAY THE LORD DEPEND ON YOU?
