1. God is pleased when we share the gospel and people are saved!
1. God is pleased when we share the gospel and people are saved!
Luke 15:7
I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
1 Peter 3:9
Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
Those who aren’t saved are condemned to a real literal Hell
Those who aren’t saved are condemned to a real literal Hell
John 3:36
2. Jesus is especially pleased with child like faith
2. Jesus is especially pleased with child like faith
Matthew 19:13-14
Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
- Keep pressing Evangelism
"A church that's not evangelistic is no church”
Our Mission
Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
To make disciples until the end of the age
- The Great commission contains both evangelism and discipleship.
Keep the Gospel simple and pure.
We don't save people nor do our words.
1 Cor 1:17
For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
A simple recap of the Gospel is found in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
We must be able to explain what “Faith in Jesus” is
They need faith to be saved
Ephesians 2:8
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
1 Peter 1:5
Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
John 3:18
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
If it’s works or anything else they’re trusting in they aren’t saved
Titus 3:5
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
We must explain and help them understand from the Bible that it is faith in the work of Christ that saves them
John 6:29
Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
We can’t decide for them
They must receive Christ.
Beware of high pressure evangelism
It is up to the individual to believe. We must let them choose
Don’t convince them they’re saved
It is a dangerous thing to do. We don’t provide assurance Jesus does
They must work out their own belief
2 Cor 13:5
Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
Remember we stand as ambassadors of our God
“The job of an ambassador is to make sure that their home country's message is received in a foreign land by their words and actions”
2 Corinthians 5:17-21
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
We have been saved and can now show others the way
God enables us
God wants to save people
We show people him
