Don't Win Arguments. Win Hearts.

We are to be witnesses.  Not judges or prosecutors not even defenders, but witnesses.  We are to share what we have experienced.   


Share how you realized that you needed Jesus.  Share how you surrendered your life to Him.  Share the difference Jesus has made in your life since you made Him your Lord.   

 

1 Peter 3:15 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect...



Pray for people to know Jesus.  Ask Him to open their eyes.  Add value to their lives.  Ask yourself what can I give them that they don't currently have?  Invite them to your church.  



People have a problem that God is Holy, but we are sinful.  

 

Romans 3:23 ...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God...

 

Hell is a place for people who have chosen to pay for their own sin.  

 

Romans 5:8

 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.



John 14:6    Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

 

Acts 4:12

Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”

 

Romans 10:9-10

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
