THE PENALTY OF SIN

HOW TO ENTER A RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST

THE NARROWNESS OF THE GOSPEL

ANYONE CAN BE SAVED

Romans 10:9–13 NKJV

that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

WE MUST SURRENDER (TURN FROM & TURN TO)

and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.

THE LORD IS EAGER TO ENTER YOUR LIFE

Revelation 3:20 NKJV

Why are these verses important for a lost person to read?

“There are many errors in the Bible.”

“I have been reading the Bible for many years, can you show me one of those errors?”

“There are many translations of Scripture, how do I know which one is right?”

“Yes, there are many versions, but they all tell the same truth.”

Hearing

Romans 10:17 NKJV

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Have them read the verse aloud

When a lost person hears the message of the Bible, his is hearing Christ Himself, who speaks the message of salvation.

Reading out loud requires processing more than just the swipe and browse mentality.

Reading out loud ensures they are reading the right verse.

Asking

Luke 10:25–26 NKJV

And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” He said to him, “What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?”

“What does this say to you?”

We have to be careful with this terminology as Christians - but with unbelievers which works just fine. We want to major on what it says, not what you want it to say.

The lost person does the talking.

The Holy Spirit with the Word of God does the convincing and convicting.

John 16:8–11 NKJV

And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they do not believe in Me; of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
