研究罪人的心(接上篇)
传福音的人,要有一个对的经历,就是总不要叫人改正罪,乃是要把人和罪一齐带到神面前。除罪的工作,乃是神作的;我们只负责传神的话,把人带到神面前去。人能彀到神面前,罪就去了,人就回转了。
学习神的路
我们要学习读神的话,也要学习读人的心。我们要会用有钩子的话,就着人的情形,好让人有需要的感觉,有罪恶的感觉。这乃是圣灵所建立的路。圣经的路是救人最多的路,因为那是神的路。我们一面要有话,一面也要认识人。传福音的时候,一面要有钩子能钩住人,一面要知道人的心,要就着人的心的情形,给人有钩子的话。这样就容易带人得救。传福音的人,不要光看救了多少人,乃要从其中学习让我们的话有钩子,学习怎样能摸着人,怎样能打倒人。我们总要有专一的学习,要在救人的技巧上有智慧。
今天在中国,得救信徒的数量,还赶不上印度的十六分之一。所以中国非走教会传福音的路不可。一方面我们个人要追求更深属灵的事,一方面我们要学习救人的路,并且是与弟兄姊妹配搭救人。我们总要研究圣经里传福音的事,好叫我们的传福音更有果效。

Learning God’s Way– John 12:32
Studying the Heart of Sinners
Those who preach the gospel need to have an appropriate experience: never try to ask man to correct their sins first, but bring man along with their sins before God. The work of removing sin is God’s work; our only responsibility is to preach God’s word and bring man before God. Once a man comes before God, the sins are removed and the person turns his heart to God.
Learning God’s Way
We have to learn to read God’s word and also learn to read men’s hearts. We have to know how to use words with a hook according to a person’s condition, so as to create in them a sense of need and a sense of sin. This is the way established by the Holy Spirit. The way shown in the Bible is the way that saves the most men because it is God’s way. On one hand, we must have the right words; on the other hand, we must understand men. When preaching the gospel, we have hooks that can catch men and also know the condition of their hearts, and according to their heart’s condition, give them words with a hook. It is easier to lead man to salvation in this way. When preaching the gospel, we should not only look at how many people are saved, but we should also learn from each case how to make our words have hooks, how to touch man, and how to strike them down. We always have a focused study and wisdom in the skill of saving souls.
Today in China, the number of saved believers is still less than one-sixteenth of that in India. Therefore, we have to take the way of the church preaching the gospel. On one hand, each of us need to pursue deeper spiritual matters; on the other hand, we need to learn the way of saving men, and coordinate with brothers and sisters to unbelievers. We have to diligently study the gospel matters in the Bible so that our preaching of the gospel may become more effective.
