1 | helping someone to believe? | John 3:16 | anyabenj | 65612 | ||
How do you help someone to receive Christ if they are so analytical and they are used to having facts and seeing to believe something. I know that it is by faith the we are saved and that we believe, so how do you deal with someone like this? | ||||||
2 | helping someone to believe? | John 3:16 | Searcher56 | 65636 | ||
Scripture ... 1 Cor 1:17-31 (vs 22) ... anyabenj, greetings If the person wants facts, it is tough. I thought about the above passage. If they are willing to accept what the Bible says a fact ... below is an outline I learned many years ago. There is much more. -Heaven is a free gift (Romans 6:23) and is not earned or deserved (Ephesians 2:8-9). -Man is a sinner (Romans 3:23) and cannot save himself (Matthew 5:48) ... no one is perfect, expect Jesus. -God is just (Exodus 34:7) and love (1 John 4:8). ... we as sinners have a problem, which God solved, in Jesus Christ -Jesus Christ is the inifinite God Man (John 1:1,14) and paid for our sins (Isaiah 53:6). -We can receive the gift by faith; not head faith but that of the heart (Acts 16:31). When asked how to be saved, all that was to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. ---- Have a blank sheet of paper, draw a line or ladder. Then ask them how good they think Billy Graham is ... Mother Teresa ... others ... then ask how good they think they are. Then write sin in the gap between the lines and the top of the paper. Then say everyone falls short, there is nothing anyone can do to close the gap. Since we do not measure up, we deserve death. But since God loves us so much, He sent His Son, who wiped our slate clean (flip the sheet over). All we need to accept the gift of life by faith. Hope this helps, Searcher |
