Bible Question: Suppose you have been asked to give a talk to a group of non-Christians about God's plan of salvation. You are allowed to choose your text from only one chapter of the Bible. What chapter would you select and why? |
Bible Answer: Hank, When I read your question, the first passage that came to mind was 1 Cor. 15:1-4. (1) Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;(2) By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.(3) For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;(4) And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Paul here sets forth clearly and concisely the gospel that he preached. If you are speaking to a group of people that are non-Christians, most likely they are un-Churched as well and not fimiliar with Church words either. That is way I like this passage. The passage also leads to good questions they may ask or that you can lead into. Why did Jesus die or how does His death affect us? What does His burial and resurrection have to do with anything? Why according to the Scriptures? Three days? I am used to these questions because I use this passage quite often in circumstances you are refering to. You can take these questions and teach the whole Bible if you have time. later...wdc |
