  • Why do you fail spiritually?
    • Do you have any “treaties” with sin in your life?
    • What kind of soldier are you? Are you obedient?
    • Remorse & repentance are soon forgotten. What God requires is a changed life.

    Seven truths about evangelism:

  • Men are lost and need to be saved.
  • Salvation is found in only one place—Jesus Christ.
  • God uses the Christian to reach the lost.
  • The Christian must be on guard to not be influenced by the false teaching of those they are trying to reach.
  • The Christian must be aware of the heretical teachings and beliefs of the apostate.
  • The unbleliever is on his way to eternal flaming fire. (Hell is real.)
  • As long as the apostate lives, there is a possibility of repentance, so don’t write people off.

Take Home Points

  • Unsaved apostates do not have the Spirit of God in their lives.
  • The Spirit of God polishes the Truth before our eyes, so that gleaming, it captures our eyesight.
  • It is only the Holy Spirit of God that gives us the revelation, illumines our eyes, and inpspired the Word of God so that we might trust it.
  • Uncertain times call for steady steps upon the firm foundation of the Word of God. When the Lord saves you, he gives you the ability to cast together what you hear against the Word of God. As you let the Word of God sift, as you let the Word of God work, as you let the Word of God establish, as you let the Word of God give permission or remove permission, as you let the Word of God give peace or remove peace, you’re given steady steps.
