Witnessing Tool: FAITH
Howdy all! This week's devotion is going to be on the witnessing tool called FAITH! This is very simple to use and it is very easy to understand. So let's get started by starting of with the first letter F.
F is for FORGIVENESS.
We cannot have eternal life and Heaven without God's forgiveness
"In Him [meaning Jesus] we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins." -Ephesians 1:7a, NKJV
A is for AVAILABLE
Forgiveness is available. It is-
AVAILABLE FOR ALL
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
-John 3:16 NKJV
BUT NOT AUTOMATIC
"Everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord', shall enter the kingdom of Heaven."
-Matthew 7:21a, NKJV
I is for IMPOSSIBLE
It is impossible for God to allow sin into Heaven.
God is-
Ø Love
John 3:16, NKJV
Ø Just
"For a judgment is without mercy" -James 2:13a, NKJV
Ø Man is sinful
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"
-Romans 3:23, NKJV
Question: But how can a sinful person enter heaven, where God allows no sin?
T is for Turn
Question: If you were driving down the road and someone asked you to turn, what would he or she be asking you to do? (change direction)
Turn means repent
TURN from something-sin and self
"But unless you repent you will all likewise perish." -Luke 13:3b, NKJV
TURN to Someone; trust Christ only
(The Bible tells us that) "Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures." -1 Corinthians 15:3b-4, NKJV
"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him for the dead, you will be saved." -Romans 10:9, NKJV
H is for HEAVEN
Heaven is eternal life.
HERE
"I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." -John 10:10b, NKJV.
HEREAFTER
"I if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you will be." -John 14:3 NKJV
HOW
How can a person have God's forgiveness, heaven and eternal life, and Jesus as personal Savior and Lord? Explain by using faith and Romans 10:9
This devotion was based on using the witnessing tool FAITH! You do not have to use the exact wording or you do not have to use this way of witnessing. This is just one of many ways to share about the Lord Jesus Christ. I know this week's devotion has been short but there are midterms going on this week and even though I don't study there are a lot of people who do. Also as the next couple of months come for our country and for the war that is going on. I have been praying for everyone and their midterms and I hope that everyone has done as well as they hoped.
If there is someone that needs to be getting added to the devotion list that isn't please let me know, I will be more than happy to add him or her. Well I hope that you might use this devotion or another witnessing tool to spread the Gospel. I hope everyone has a great weekend. Also I am going to be starting an e-mail prayer request form. If you need something or someone to be prayed for please e-mail me back at either [email protected] or [email protected]
I will send out the prayer request e-mail for everyone to pray for. Well I am going to go now! Love yall and God Bless!
In Christ,
