Living A Life That Brings And Gives Life!

Proverbs 11:30 “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise.”

Living right brings LIFE to one’s life. If there is ever a question of whether there are any benefits to living right Proverbs 11:30a gives one of the greatest. Living life right brings life to life.  I say it that way because living wrong (sinfully) brings death to life. If you are wondering where this thought comes from notice James 1:14 -15 as it says, “But each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.”  When you yield to a temptation it gives birth (or life) to sin and then the sin gives birth to death.  When you do wrong (sinning) you bring death to life in your life.  But from Proverbs 11:30a when you do right you bring life to life in your life!  I believe you would rather bring life to life in your life than death to life in your life!

The person living right and experiencing an abundant life will also want others to have life, here and hereafter. Proverbs 11:30b tells us that a WISE person wins souls.  The wise have come to understand their need for Christ and have gotten saved and now they want OTHERS to know how they can be saved.  

Are you witnessing for the Lord?  Are you sharing Christ with anyone presently?  Do you have a burden to see a friend, a relative, an associate, a neighbor, or even a stranger come to know Jesus?  One of the characteristics of a wise person is they desperately desire to see lost people saved and will look for opportunities to share Christ with the lost!

A wise person lives a life that brings life and tells others about how to have life.

It has been said that soul-winning is one beggar telling another beggar where to find food!  Since you have found “food” tell someone else where to find it!

Continue Strong living right and being the light!
And remember to DATE The Word
