Reliance on the Work of God in Muslims

Stewart Binns has a good, short article on reaching Muslims for Christ in the latest issue ($5) of The Briefing. In it, he ends with a key principle that applies to all evangelism efforts:

One helpful thing to remember is that you are working in cooperation with God. It is not your job to save; your job is to introduce your Muslim friend to the true Christ. So your behavior must be an example of Christ's love. God will prepare the hearts of those he has called, and his Spirit will convict Muslims of the truth; you are just a worker in the harvest.


This firm reliance on God and his intimate work in the hearts of the lost is crucial; anyone who emphasizes it is someone I nearly always listen to. I hope to read more of what Binns has to say regarding Evangelism.
