1. Does the foregoing Scripture teach us that we must dedicate our lives to God; living and teaching the truth? Discuss.
2. Must we be empowered by the Holy Spirit in order to do this? Discuss. John 14:26, John 15:26, Acts 1:8.
Note: Without the Holy Spirit we cannot always know what the truth is. The Holy Spirit also gives us power and courage to speak God’s Word.
3. What is essential for successful witnessing? Acts 4:24-33.
Note: Prayer is truly the place where people are won to Christ. The divine order is to talk to God about man before talking to man about God.
4. Should we pray that we as well as others have a desire to win lost souls to Christ? Why? Luke 10:2, Matthew 9:36-38.
Note: Christians must have a loving compassion for those who do not know the Lord of salvation. Time is running out.

Note: Satan is working faithfully to destroy the children of God, but if they have on all of the armor of God the Devil can be defeated.
10. Should we be discouraged or defeated when sinners do not respond after we have witnessed faithfully to them? I Corinthians 3:6-9.
Note: As witnesses we can only sow seed or water those already sown, but only God can save.
