Popping the Question #3
In the previous two articles (here and here), we examined the most difficult part of personal evangelism: coming right out and asking people to study with us. Often, we are simply reluctant to ask. We may engage in broad discussions of religious topics now and then, and we may even invite others to services of […]
Popping the Question #2
In the previous article, we began examining the most difficult part of personal evangelism: coming right out and asking people to study with us. Unfortunately, we are sometimes reluctant to ask. We may engage in broad discussions of religious topics now and then, and we may even invite others to services of the church, but […]
The Golden Text of the Bible: The Greatest Promise Is Everlasting Life
John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” For the people who believe, there awaits “everlasting life.” This is a synonym for heaven. God never intended hell to be our eternal abode — that was […]
Popping the Question #1
In the matter of personal evangelism, we are often reluctant to do the one thing that most needs to be done: come right out and ask people to study with us. It is interesting to note how easily and naturally the apostle Paul found people to teach the gospel, even in unfamiliar surroundings (Acts 27:16-17; […]
The Golden Text of the Bible: The Greatest Tragedy Is Perishing
John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” God has not made it difficult for us to respond to Him. In the previous article, we saw that God wants us to believe. Belief will cause […]
The Golden Text of the Bible: The Greatest Condition Is Belief
John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” God has blessed us with the wonderful gift of salvation, and God could have saved everyone, but He wants us to come back to Him. We make […]
The Power of an Invitation
One preacher wrote a personal letter to his brethren encouraging them to invite someone to services. He said, “The more I work with people who visit services, the more I am impressed with something. Coming to worship is much easier for a newcomer who already knows someone in our church, especially someone who invited them […]
God Is Calling
God calls or summons or invites mankind to come to Him for eternal life. He doesn’t force mankind against their will. Jesus remarked about Himself, “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, […]
The Golden Text of the Bible: The Greatest Offer Is Whosoever
John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” We all relish and celebrate the death of Christ, but when you think of it, Christ’s death only means something to us because it can be applied […]
The Wise Soul Winner
Proverbs 11:30 reads, “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.” Christians have the great responsibility to be “soul winners” or to convert others to the gospel. The greatest soul winner of all was Jesus Christ. Not only did He win every soul that is saved […]
