1 | How do we preach the Gospel? | 1 John 2:2 | John Reformed | 101099 | ||
Hi Ed, I don't believe that anyone (without certain exceptions; Infants, severely hanicapped etc.) does not truly believe in a Creator. If they really did'nt believe they would have an excuse before God. Paul utterly demolishes the concept of "true" atheist. Rom 1:20-23 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, I think that science, logic and philosophy are good tools for the apologist, but not the evangelist. His tool is the Gospel. I try to stick with what the Bible says about the hopeless situation the fallen man is in... and then tell him the "Good News"! Perhaps God will grant the person repentance. 2 Tim 2:25,26 with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will. If the person brings up the topic of atheistic evolution, I take him to romans and tell him what it says about what he is really doing... suppressing the truth in unrighteousness. We are saved by grace not reason. May God bless your presentation of the gospel to those whom He sends your way. John |

Hi George, The Word is awesome! In a few brief sentences it cuts away all the phony excuses. 1 Thess 1:5 for our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction; Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. POWER! That's what I pray for when I tell someone about Jesus...God's power at work, changing hearts and minds, before my very eyes. It makes one want to take his shoes off and worship Him! Many people try to avoid hearing gospel altogether. Instead they raise objections meant to divert us from our mission by taking us down "bunny trails" that never end. The next thing you know hours have gone by and the gospel still has not been shared. Others raise objections because they are truly interested in having their questions answered. Nevertheless, for whatever reason the objections are raised, the answers should be from the Bible itself. John |
