How to Bring Loved Ones and Family to Christ
Dr. Adrian Rogers
I Corinthians 9:14
I want to talk to you tonight about how to bring your loved ones and family members to Jesus. How many of you have loved ones and family members that are lost? Let me see your hand. Hold them up, and then I want to look. Got loved ones and family members that are lost? Alright, take them down. Now, if I were to ask it the other way: how many of you have no loved ones or family members that are lost? I don't think any of us could lift our hand. If we could, that means that we have a very small family, or we don't have very many loved ones, or else we really don't know what the pastor was asking, or else God has been extremely, extremely good to us. Most of us, almost all of us, have loved ones and family members that are lost and I believe that most of us would say they seem to be the hardest to witness to. They seem to be the hardest to tell about the Lord Jesus Christ.
I want us to see tonight from two major passages of scripture, one in Corinthians and the other in First Peter, how we really might have that attitude and then what plan ought we to have to bring our loved ones to Jesus Christ? No greater assignment and no greater joy could be ours than to bring our loved ones to Christ!
The great Spurgeon, I suppose the greatest preacher who ever lived outside the apostle Paul, said this, Even if I were utterly selfish and had no care for anything but my own happiness, I would choose, if I might, under God, to be a soul-winner. For never did I know perfect, overflowing, unutterable happiness of the purest, most ennobling order until I first heard of one who had sought and found the Savior through my means (that is, through my witness, through my testimony). No young mother ever so rejoiced over her firstborn child; no warrior ever so exalted over a hard-won victory. What the great Spurgeon said is, The greatest joy that a ...
