How To Win Souls

I'm continuing to enjoy my slow reading of Charles Spurgeon's, The Soul Winner. Here's an excerpt from his address, How To Win Souls For Christ:

"You preach, bretheren, with this object, that men may quit their sins, and fly to Christ for pardon, that by His blessed Spirit they may be renovated, and become as much in love with everything that is holy as the are now in love with everything that is sinful. You aim at a radical cure; the axe is laid at the root of the trees. the amendment of the old nature would not content you, but you seek for the imparting by a divine power, of a new nature...Our object is to turn the world upside down...We are aiming at a miracle: it is well to settle that at the commencement. Some bretheren think that they ought to lower their note to the spiritual ability of the hearer; but this is a mistake. According to these bretheren, you not to exhort a man to repent and believe unless you believe he can, of himself, repent and believe. My reply is a confession: I command men in the name of Jesus to repent and believe the gospel, though I know they can do nothing of this kind apart form the grace of God; for I am not sent to work according to what my private reason might suggest, but according to the orders of my Lord and Master."
