Quote by Charles Finney
It is the great business of every Christian to save souls. People complain that they do not know how to take hold of this matter. Why, the reason is plain enough; they have never studied it. They have never taken the proper pains to qualify themselves for the work. If you do not make it a matter of study, how you may successfully act in building up the kingdom of Christ, you are acting a very wicked and absurd part as a Christian.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the importance for Christians to actively engage in the work of saving souls. The author argues that many individuals lack this understanding because they have not devoted time and effort to studying and preparing themselves for this task. It highlights the notion that Christians have a responsibility to educate themselves and develop the necessary skills to effectively contribute to the growth of the kingdom of Christ. Neglecting this duty is seen as both morally wrong and illogical for individuals who identify as Christians.
