We are Ambassadors 2 Corinthians 5:20

Outline Why should we win souls? Why is it important to the Lord? How can we win souls?

Why? Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching  them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20

Why? He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Mark 16:15 He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. Luke 24:46-48

Why? Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” John 20:21 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8

Jesus commands us to win souls Why? Jesus commands us to win souls

Why? We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. 2 Corinthians 5:20 But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives… Philippians 3:20

Jesus appointed us to win souls Why? Jesus appointed us to win souls

Why is it so important to the Lord? …The Lord looked and was displeased that there was no justice. He saw that there was no one, he was appalled that there was no one to intervene; so his own arm (power) achieved salvation for him, and his own righteousness sustained him. Isaiah 59:15b-16

Why? The Lord knows that NO HUMAN can enter His Kingdom without Divine intervention!

How? You must have an encounter with him You are witnesses of all these things. Luke 24:48 You must know what you are talking about Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He told them,  “This is what is written… Luke 24:45-46a

How? You must seek the filling of the Spirit “…As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” John 20:21b-22

Overview Jesus commanded us Jesus appointed us We must have a story And how? We must have a story We must know the story We must get help from God’s Spirit to share the story

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who is wise wins souls. Proverbs 11:30
