To win souls is not a work we do for Christ with His mighty help; it is a work He does through us by His omnipotent power.

When Evangelism Is the Most Natural Thing
The more immediate and personal one’s knowledge of Christ, the more natural it is to share Him with others.
R. Kent Hughes, Disciplines of a Godly Man, p. 195
The Value of a Single Soul
He thought it worth while to die for the sake of redeeming the souls of men; what sacrifices are we prepared to make in contributing to the same end? He gave His life; will we give up our ease, our effort, our money? It was because He believed every single soul was more precious than a world that He died to save the souls of men. Are they precious in our eyes? Does their fate haunt us? Does their sin grieve us? Would their salvation fill us with aught of the joy that thrills the angels in heaven when one sinner is converted?
James Stalker, Imago Christi, p. 52
A Holy Mission
As the heart’s holiest mission is to love the Christ, so the tongue’s holiest mission is to proclaim the Christ.

Missionary Motives

The Most Sobering Reality in the World Today
Christians need to be reminded of the terrible doom hanging over the world, and of all the solemn eternal realities connected with our Lord’s coming in their bearing upon our daily life. So will our efforts for helping and saving others all be under the power of the thought of how short the time is, how terrible the fate of those who perish, and how urgent the call for everyone who knows redeeming love to do its work with all his might.
Andrew Murray, The Holiest of All, pp. 399-400
A Missionary God
The God of the Bible is a missionary God.
G. Campbell Morgan, Hosea: The Heart and Holiness of God, p. 115
Won’t You Do More?
Is this all thy compassion for lost sinners? Wilt thou do no more to seek and to save them? … shall they die and be in hell before thou wilt speak to them one serious word to prevent it? Shall they there curse thee forever that thou didst no more in time to save them?
Richard Baxter, The Reformed Pastor, 204
