Our Job is to Be Faithful
“So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, ‘Do you understand what you are reading?’ And he said, ‘How can I, unless someone guides me?’ And he asked Philip to come up and sit with him.”
Acts 8:30-31

Ponder This
We are not really in the truest sense soul winners. The Holy Spirit is the soul winner. He is a soul winner through us and to that degree we are soul winners. That means our job is not to be successful; our job is to be faithful. Our job is to make the message clear and help people understand. They can’t understand unless we show them. Why didn’t God send an angel down there to tell this man how to be saved? Angels don’t know the joy that salvation brings because they haven’t experienced it. We are privileged to do something angels cannot. The man said, “How can I understand unless I have help?” He wanted Philip to come and sit with him. And Phillip was able to walk him through God’s Word and show him how it pointed to Jesus.
We must preach the Christ of God. Philip didn’t preach to him about economics. He didn’t preach to him about the social and political situation in Ethiopia. He preached Jesus. That is our role when we share our faith with others. The Holy Spirit is the One who will convict and win souls for Christ.
- What intimidates you about sharing your faith with others?
- How will you be faithful to share Jesus with others?
Practice This
Pray for someone you know who does not have a relationship with Jesus. Ask God to place faith questions on his or her heart like He did with the Ethiopian eunuch.
