With all that is going on in this world, people are searching for something solid and everlasting, a power higher than themselves, failed leaders and failed systems—for a Blessed Hope. Thank God, He is THE highest power, perfect, full of mercy and love. God is love.
The following is an outline of verses my son put together. With this outline, he has led many to Christ, interspersing personal and relevant short stories to make the Word personal. I thought that perhaps some of you might like to have this outline as a reference for witnessing in these final hours.
LEADING OTHERS TO SALVATION IN JESUS
Everyone is a sinner
Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God
Rom 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one
There is a price for sin
Rom 6:23(a) For the wages of sin [is] death;
Rev 20:14-15 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Jesus paid that price and offers as a gift
Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Rom 6:23(b) For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord
If you receive that gift you shall be saved
Rom 10:9 & 10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Verification/Assurance
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:
John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
1 John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
The Sinner’s Prayer
“Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.”
