Shine Brightly as a Soul Winner
“Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise shall shine as the brightness of the expanse; and those who turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.” (Daniel 12:2-3 WEB)
There will be resurrection in the future. For the righteous, they will be raised at the Rapture.
Those who are wise and turn many to righteousness refers to believers who have invest their time, money, and gifts towards winning souls for God’s kingdom.
Not righteousness by works, but the gift of righteousness which is received by believing and confessing Jesus Christ as Lord.
“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life. He who is wise wins souls.” (Proverbs 11:30 WEB)
Soul winners will be exalted, honored, and greatly rewarded.
Just as the firmament and the stars on it are shining brightly, high above the earth, and visible to all, so will a soul winner be.
“Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.” (Galatians 6:7-10 WEB)
If you are experiencing persecution for your faith now, your tears will eventually be turned to joy when it is time to receive your eternal rewards from Jesus. Keep on doing what is good, as led by the Holy Spirit. When you sow to the Spirit, you shall surely reap life in due season—do not give up!
