The Bible says in Colossians 4, it says walk in wisdom toward them that are without redeeming
the time.
We are to walk in wisdom.
We are not to be unwise, but we are to understand what the will of the Lord is.
We are to walk in wisdom towards them that are without.
Why?
Because God's will is that all men shall be saved.
Why?
Because He gave Himself as a ransom for all.
We need to be reminded of our redemption because there are still others that need
to be redeemed.
The Bible says that we are to walk in wisdom.
Now in Proverbs 11 30 the Bible says the fruit of the righteous is a tree of life
and he that winneth souls is wise.
So if we're going to walk in wisdom, if we're going to do that which is wise, then
we can compare spiritual things with spiritual and look at Proverbs chapter 11 and see
that if we win souls we are wise.
That's what it means to walk in wisdom.
We have to win souls.
I love that it says that we are to walk in wisdom and that he that winneth souls is
wise.
You see this correlation there where it says you are to walk in wisdom.
My friend, how are you going to see somebody saved?
You're going to have to walk.
You're going to have to walk to win souls.
That's why it says in Isaiah chapter 52, how beautiful upon the mountains are the feet
of Him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace and bringeth good tidings
of good, that publisheth salvation, that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth.
That same verse is quoted in Romans 10, how then shall they call on Him whom they have
not believed?
How shall they believe in Him whom they have not heard?
How shall they hear without a preacher?
And how shall they preach, except they be sent as it is written, how beautiful are
the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace and bring glad tidings of good things.
You see, we need to walk in wisdom.
We need to be wise and win souls.
We need to use our feet to go out and see others saved because we are the world's only
hope of redemption.
We, us, those of us who have been saved, the redeemed of God, who have the knowledge
of Jesus Christ, who have the words of life are to walk in wisdom towards those
that are without so that they also might receive an opportunity to be redeemed.
We know, the Bible says in 1 John 5, and we know that we are of God and that the whole
world live in wickedness.
Bible says in Psalms 49, wherefore should I fear in the days of evil when the iniquity
of my heels shall encompass me about?
They that trust in wealth and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches, none of
them by any means can redeem their brother nor give to God a ransom for him.
You see, the world isn't going to save itself.
They cannot work their way to heaven.
They cannot purchase, they cannot redeem their own brother.
They cannot save their neighbor.
Why?
Because the redemption of their souls is precious.
You see, we have the answer.
We have the answer for that redemption of their souls, but we need to walk in wisdom
towards them that are without.
We need to be reminded of our redemption because of the fact that there are others out there
that still need to be redeemed.
