LOVE IS THE TRUE WAY OF SOUL WINNING - C.H. SPURGEON
Love is the true way of soul winning, for when I spoke of storming the walls and when I spoke of wrestling, those were but metaphors, but this is near the fact.
We win by love. We win hearts for Jesus by love, by sympathy with their sorrow, by anxiety lest they should perish, by pleading with God for them with all our hearts that they should not be left to die unsaved, by pleading with them for God that, for their sake, they would seek mercy and find grace.
Yes, there is a spiritual wooing and winning of hearts for the Lord Jesus; and if you would learn the way, you must ask God to give you a tender heart and sympathizing soul.
I believe that much of the secret of soul winning lies in having bowels of compassion, in having spirits that can be touched with the feeling of human infirmities … soul-saving requires a heart that beats hard against the ribs. It requires a soul full of the milk of human kindness; this is the sine qua non of success. This is the chief natural qualification for a soul winner, which under God and blessed through Him, will accomplish wonders.
