Share with Me the Good News !!

[Pilgrimshope]

The real question is: Does the Father draw someone to salvation or the Holy Spirit?

The fulfillment of Jesus dying for thier sins does and the preaching of the gospel in the world so people can hear about it in order to believe

“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. This he said, signifying what death he should die.”
‭‭John‬ ‭12:32-33‬ ‭KJV‬‬

the “ cross” is Gods call to all men

“and he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our's only, but also for the sins of the whole world.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭2:2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

a there’s a reason this scriptire resonates with millions
“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.”
‭‭John‬ ‭3:16‬ ‭KJV

he said this to save the world to draw all men to himself he expressed his love for the people

“Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us:

and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭3:16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

This is not a Calvinist post, it isn't pre-trib, after trib, no trib post. This isn't a my denomination, your denomination, that denomination post. This is a post about the Gospel, the Hope, the Good News that the lost need to hear. Now!! So how do we go about fulfilling the great commission?

The dearest thing to my heart is evangelism, outreach, how do we bring in the lost. The more I read the BDF the more hopelessness I feel. It's like we feel God doesn't want anyone in heaven. Shoot if it was up to the BDF we wouldn't let half of US in and we claim to know the Lord!! Someone said "The older I get, the more people I'm letting into heaven".

Click if you know the old song, Jesus Saves. Give me a thumbs up in your post if you know the song.


We have heard the joyful sound:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Spread the tidings all around:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Bear the news to ev'ry land,
Climb the steeps and cross the waves;
Onward! 'tis our Lord's command;
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!

Waft it on the rolling tide:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Tell to sinners far and wide:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Sing, ye islands of the sea;
Echo back, ye ocean caves;
Earth shall keep her jubilee:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!

Fourth verse

4 Give the winds a mighty voice:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Let the nations now rejoice:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Shout salvation full and free,
Highest hills and deepest caves;
This our song of victory:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!


Most of those verses I can sing from memory. Let's see if we can keep this on topic. You are meeting someone who has never heard of the Bible, or Jesus, the Holy Spirit. They have no concept of God. They won't understand your church talk and your cliches. You can't quote a Bible verse, they don't know it. What are you going to say to give that person hope? How are you going to share the Good News and tell them Jesus saves. Not the Calvinistic way, the Baptist way, the KJV way. It's just you and someone who needs to know how to get to heaven. What do you say? Share with me the Good News as if I had never heard any of it before. Let's start!

I read everything thing except the last sentence

Okay,
Me - Hey Rose, you seem to be thinking pretty hard about something.
Rose - Yeah, I’m going through a lot right now. Seems like it’s one thing after another.
Me - Is there something specific?
Rose - Yeah, my daughter is having a hard time out in Florida.
(Depending on the situation)
Me - Well, do you want to pray for her real quick?
Rose - Okay
Me - Lord, Rose and I pray protection over her daughter right now, draw her to you. Help her.
Rose - Thank you
Me - Look Rose, you can’t be there with her but you can pray for God to help and he will. You can go to God yourself. (Depending on her receptivity) Do you want to pray for God to come into your life and help you and your daughter?
Rose - Yes
Me - Let’s pray. Jesus, help me and forgive me from my sins.
Rose - Jesus help me and forgive me from my sins.
Me - Jesus, come into my life. I surrender myself and my life to you right now.
Rose - Jesus, come into my life. I surrender myself and my life to you right now.
Me - Thank you Jesus for saving me, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
Rose - Thank you Jesus for saving me, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
Me - Rose, you’ve asked Jesus to come into your like (Romans 10:9-10, 13 Rev 3:20). He is “not a man that He should lie”. Meaning, when you asked Jesus to come in, He came in.
(Depending on the setting)
The Bible says, If you confess Me before men, I will confess you before my Father. Now that you have asked Jesus into your life, and to important to make it public by going down front in church. Do you have a church that you go to.
Rose - I dont but I will find one.
Me - I know of one pretty close. (Invite her to my church). Also, if you have one in mind, I will be fine to go with you.

It’s actually John 6:44. 44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.”

Not that it matters that much just an interesting work of the Trinity.

[Pilgrimshope]

Speak of the manger where Lord Jesus Lay
A savior was born on the first Christmas day
Say how the spirit has come from above
Tell how the Father has given his Love

Witness his healings of blind who now see
And all the cleansed lepers and sinners set free
Speak of the dead who he raised up to life
Our lord who stands loyal through struggle and strife

Speak in the shadows the words of his light
Converting the darkness and healing mens sight
Speak of repentance that turns us from sin
That Terrible creature ! That killer of men !

Tell of his bleeding the torture and shame
Then witness remission of sins in his name
Tell them his judgements all day into night
Yet speak of atonement , how scarlet's made white

Speak of the hammer that drove the nails through
and tell them he suffered for all and for you
Shout of his victory over deaths gloom
Remind all the witness of his empty tomb

Speak of his kingdom in heaven behold
Where treasures will fade not and men grow not old
Tell them of mercy , forgiveness and love
Receiving his spirit , new life from above

Tell them he's coming some day in some year
Emplore them to hear that hes called us all near
Then teach of the father , the spirit and son
Just witness the gospel until the works done

His call to all creatures that bids them come near
The Witness of perfect love casting out fear
And if they will hear you then praise his great name
Then go out some elsewhere and do just the same

One can use scriptural answers without quoting Scripture. That can come later. The OP was asking for a very basic approach. Someone who does not even read the Bible may converse on another level if you come down to their level. They may want to talk about anything and you can do the same until the proper time.

Thank you! A few of you have understood what this exercise was about. As an example, I had a dear friend, he has passed now, who became saved in a very different way. This man was a wonderful man of God as I knew him, great father and grandfather, always there to be of service in any way he could. But my mother told me the story of how he became saved.

Two friends use to meet and drink, one was the friend I knew. They would drink till they got drunk, crying into their beers. One time they met and the friend of my friend said " You know, my mother tells me we should go to church and get saved and quit this drinking." Well my friend thought that was a novel idea. So he did indeed go to church, he became saved and went back to meet his friend to tell him the good news. His friend never did change. I hope he did come to the Lord, but I am not sure that he did. You never know how long you have to plant a seed and that was the reason for the post, thank you for understanding what I was trying to say.
