We are not to feel that the work of the gospel depends
principally upon the minister. To every man God has
given a work to do in connection with His kingdom.
Everyone who professes the name of Christ is to be an
earnest, disinterested worker, ready to defend the principles
of righteousness. Every soul should take an active
part in advancing the cause of God. Whatever our calling,
as Christians we have a work to do in making Christ
known to the world. We are to be missionaries, having
for our chief aim the winning of souls to Christ.
To His church God has committed the work of
diffusing light and bearing the message of His love. Our
work is not to condemn, not to denounce, but to draw
with Christ, beseeching men to be reconciled to God.
We are to encourage souls, to attract them, and thus win
them to the Saviour. If this is not our interest, if we
withhold from God the service of heart and life, we are
robbing Him of influence, of time, of money and effort.
In failing to benefit our fellow men, we rob God of the
glory that should flow to Him through the conversion of souls.
