Proverbs 11:30, The Fruit of the Righteous
1. God’s Work: Most aim at winning something of value, worldly wealth, earthly honours, Olympic medals, or a lottery! Paul had an aim, but it was to win Christ and be found in Him (Phil.3:8-9). He then had an insatiable longing to do God’s work, to share Christ with others, whatever the cost (Rom.1:14-16)! This should be the aim of every Christian. First, you must know Christ as your own personal Saviour, and then you must tell others of the wonderful Saviour that found you! This proverb will show how soul-winning relates to God’s work, not to possessing the fortune or favour of the world.
