Evangelism Is...Reaching People Through Relationships, Part 4 (SWM #69)

Our soul winning verse from the Word of God today is 1 Thessalonians 2:19-20 which reads: "For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? For ye are our glory and joy."

Our soul winning quote today is from Nate Krupp. He said: "God has chosen to have three, and only three, basic instruments with which He can reach a lost world. He uses the Spirit of God, the Word of God, and the man of God. And it takes all three! He takes a man of God, filled with the Spirit of God, effectively using the Word of God, to reach people for Christ. We can be sure of the absolute faithfulness of the first two. The third-man-has always been the unfaithful, weak link in the eternal chain for souls."

Our soul winning devotional is part 52 of our series titled "What Evangelism Is" from Dave Earley and David Wheeler.

In the end, the people in your concentric circles "will know they have been loved by a heavenly Father, and they will begin to sense His invitation to become a part of His family by adoption and by the saving grace of His Son."
