Rescue the Perishing: Personal Work Made Easy
Seibert, Fred R.
Bible -- Indexes
THIS is an age of heart-to-heart methods, woman to woman and man to man,
reaching people in every line. The vast army of traveling salesmen used
by business houses, illustrates this method while the wonderful agency
system developed by the life insurance companies is a splendid example
of success coming from *personal work* and *personal contact*.
THE *Holy Spirit* will convict men and women of sin, but he needs human
help in reaching human hearts and inducing them to *act* after they are
convicted. Most people whom you and I know are already convicted and
convinced that they should be Christians. The great difficulty is to get
them to *do it now* and this is *your part*.
IN this day of such great activity and “strenuous” living there are so
many new things, as well as old, continually coming up that prevent
people from desiring or even thinking of spiritual life. Never was it
more true that we must *go out* into the *highways and compel them* to
come in. In revivals too much is left to “general results,” until the
"old general” is sadly overworked. *The motto of* that wonderful and
effective organization of Christian business men, *the Gideons, is good
for all Christians*: “And they stood *every man* in *his place* round
about the camp."
IN a “general” way, you want to see your friends converted, why not help
the Lord answer your prayers by *aiding Him* in winning them one by one?
TRY to have some one *ready* to make *a public profession* when the
*evangelist gives the opportunity*.
Personal Work.
*QUALIFICATIONS needed.*
If we are going to lead souls to Christ, there are a few qualification
that we need.
*1st. A DEFINITE EXPERIENCE is needed. We must be able to say with
Paul.*
*I KNOW whom I have believed*, and am persuaded that *he is able to
keep* that which I have committed unto him against that day.
_II Timothy 1:12._
Or to exclaim with the blind man.
WHETHER he be a sinner or no, I know not: *one thing I know*, that,
whereas I was blind, *now I see*.
_John 9:25_
One who would have real success must he himself, or herself thoroughly
converted, and live a holy life. Just as the telegraph wire must be
insulated, before it can carry the electric message, so the Christian
must be insulated from his old life of sin, before he can carry the
gospel message to lost souls.
*2nd. A LOVE FOR SOULS needed.*
Paul’s heart yearned for his brethren.
I HAVE great heaviness and continued sorrow in my heart. For I could
wish that myself *were accursed from Christ* for my brethren.
_Romans 9:2-3._
*3rd. A realization that SOULS ARE LOST, AND WE MAY be held RESPONSIBLE
FOR THEM*.
FOR what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and
*lose his own soul*?
