The Seven Sins of not Soul Winning

Luke 5:27-32
 
Levi reacted as Jesus would want the entirety of his supporters to do, he followed his Lord promptly, and he assembled his companions to meet him as well. Levi left a worthwhile and exploitative tax-collecting business to follow Jesus. Then Levi held a gathering for his kindred collectors and other scandalous sinners so they could meet Jesus as well. Levi left behind a material wealth to acquire spiritual wealth, and he was glad to be related with Jesus.

The Pharisees enveloped their wrongdoing by trying to be respectable. They caused themselves to look good by performing beneficial deeds publicly and pointing out the transgressions of others. Jesus decided to invest time and energy with individuals who detected their own transgression and realized that they were not adequate for God, not with these self-righteous, proud, and boastful religious leaders. We must repent of our sins that it may be possible to come to God. And for us to be possible to renounce our sins, we must recognize them for what they are.
 
Which of these sins are we guilty of?

1. The Sin of Disobedience to Command –

• 1 Samuel 12:15, But if ye will not obey the voice of the Lord, but rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then shall the hand of the Lord be against you, as it was against your father.
• Titus 1:16, They profess that they know God; but in works they deny Him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

2. The Sin of Lack of Love for Christ –

• Matthew 22:37, Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all they soul, and with all thy mind.
• John 14:15, If ye love me, keep my commandments.

3. The Sin of Not Following Jesus –

• Matthew 16:24, Then said Jesus unto His disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
• 1 Peter 2:21, For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps.

4. The Sin of Not Abiding in Christ –

• 1 John 2:6, He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked.
• 1 John 3:6, Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen, neither known him.

5. The Sin of Dishonesty in Sacred Trust –

• Mark 16:15, And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
• Matthew 28:19, Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost

6. The Sin of Folly of a Shortsighted Fool –

• Proverbs 15:14, The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
• Proverbs 15:21, Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.

7. The Sin of Bloodguilt and Not Winning Souls –

• Psalms 51:14, Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud thy righteousness.

 
Not only bloodshed but all sin is worthy of death:

• Ezekiel 3:19, Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
• Revelation 22:17, And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

 
Paul had said:

• 1 Timothy 1:15, This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

 
What had Paul done after he met Jesus? He told others. If we have heard the message, then we are responsible to tell the message to others.  Jesus told his disciples to go and tell others, so that they would tell others and so on, and so on.
