What does the Bible say about soul winning?
Bible Topic · WEB
The Bible teaches that believers are called to proclaim the gospel faithfully, praying that God will save sinners through Christ. All people have sinned and deserve death, yet God gives eternal life freely in Jesus Christ (Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23). Jesus commissions His church to make disciples of all nations and preach the gospel to every creature (Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:15). Those who turn others from error participate in a merciful work, while God alone grants repentance and produces lasting fruit (James 5:20; John 15:16). Faithful witness is therefore urgent, loving, humble, and dependent on the Lord.
