Elements of Soul Winning
The Purpose of
Soul Winning
The Sacrifice of
Jesus
The purpose of soul
winning is not to win souls!
- The purpose of soul winning is to
make people aware of the sacrifice of Jesus.
John 16:13-14
Our Need of Jesus
Soul winning makes people aware of their need of Jesus
The Cross of Christ
Soul winning brings people to the Cross of Christ.
1 Corinthians 1:18-21
- The cross is a terse summary statement of the gospel.
The Method of Soul
Winning
Sinners’
Prayer
Soul winning involves far more than just the
“sinners’ prayer.”

Tell Them About
Jesus
Not every plant you
walk by is ready to be harvested.
- It takes experience to know when the fruit is ripe.

You Are Not a Soul
Winner
Soul winning is the work of the Holy Ghost!
We are privileged
to participate in that work with him.
John 16:7-8
The Holy Ghost
will reprove the world of sin, etc.
The Result of Soul
Winning
Obedience
You have obeyed the
command of God.
- Fulfilling the great commission is the result of, not the reason
for, practicing soul winning.
Contact
People will come away
having been touched by the Holy Ghost.
Repentance
People will have been
made open to repentance.
Made Uncomfortable
Soul winning makes
people uncomfortable!
NOT ALL SOUL WINNING RESULTS IN WINNING SOULS.
- Perhaps they are brought to the cross.
- Perhaps they are born again.
- Perhaps they are only watered.
- Perhaps a little of the fallow ground of their hearts are broken
up.
