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?
Mark 8:36.
