Sharing the Gospel and Pointing Someone to Christ in the Scripture

(by Pastor Jerry Smith)

The Fact that ALL are Sinners

(Romans 3:10-12)

As it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.”

(Romans 3:23)

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

 The Results of Being a Sinner

(Romans 6:23)

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

(Revelation 20:12-15)

And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

 The Love of God

(Romans 5:8)

But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

 How to Receive Christ as Savior

 (John 1:10-13)

He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

(Romans 10:9-13)

Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

 Will You Receive Christ Now?

(Revelation 3:20)

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

(Romans 10:13)

For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Assurance of Salvation

(1 John 5:11-13)

And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life.

 Confess Christ before the Church

 (Matthew 10:32)

So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven,

 Obey Christ’s Command to be Baptized

(Matthew 28:19)

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

(Acts 2:41)

So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.

(Romans 6:3-5)

Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.

Serve Christ the Rest of Your Life

(Hebrews 10:23-25)

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
