let's say somebody came to you and said I want to be a Christian and I want you to show me how today I'm going to give you three simple steps on how to lead somebody to Christ that's coming up next on the beat hey everyone my name is Alan Parr thank you all so much for tuning in to the beat if this is your first time here this channel is all about helping people grow spiritually by giving them truth training and teaching from the Word of God so let's just say you are out sharing your
faith or maybe you're sitting next to somebody on a plane or you're at the mall you're passing out a track and somebody randomly comes up to you and says hey I want to be a Christian can you show me how you know the Bible says in 1st Peter chapter 3 that we should always be ready to give an answer or a defense for the hope that we have so today I'm going to give you three letters and for simple scriptures in the book of Romans that you can use to lead someone into a relationship with
Jesus Christ the first letter is a you need to get them to acknowledge that they are a sinner in desperate need of God's grace the book of Romans chapter 3 verse 23 says that all of us have sinned and fall short of the glory of God notice the two tenses here have sin means that you need to get them to acknowledge that they didn't just do bad things or make mistakes no they are a sinner and then fall short refers to the present tense an alternative future which lets us know that we didn't just sit
in the past but we are going to continue to sin in the future which means that we are going to continually be in need of God's forgiveness and grace the B stands for believe in Jesus Romans chapter 5 says but God demonstrated his love for us and that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us so it is here that you really really want to spend some time and help them understand exactly what it is that Jesus Christ did for them and why and so because they've already acknowledged that they are a center they
understand now that no amount of good works that they could do would be sufficient to cover up all of the sin that they've done and so because God is equally loving and equally holy God loves them enough to extend forgiveness for their sins but he is so holy that he can't look upon their sins and not do anything about it and so in His grace and in his love instead of punishing them he took out all of his wrath up and punished his son in their place it's here that you can actually jump outside of
Romans for a moment and reference second Corinthians chapter 5 verse 21 which says that God made him Jesus who knew no sin to become sin so that we might become the righteousness of God also it's here that you want to focus in on another word in Romans chapter 5 verse 8 which is the word love it says the God demonstrated his love for us and so because they are going to be a new Christian they're going to be experiencing a new struggle with sin that they have never experienced before so they need to know now
more than ever that no matter what they've done no matter who they are no matter how far they've fallen no matter how many times they fall that God loves them unconditionally the third scripture that we want to give still under the letter B believe in Jesus is Romans 6:23 which says the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord so it is here that they really need to understand that their salvation was a gift from God is not something that they could earn which means that
they didn't do anything to earn it there's nothing they can do to lose it so because this is a gift from God they need to spend the rest of their lives showing God how much they appreciate this gift through service through love and sharing their faith with others the third and final letter is the letter C which basically means they need to confess that Jesus Christ is Lord the final scripture in Romans that you want to share with them is Romans chapter 10 verse 9 which says if you confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ
is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you shall be saved so notice there are two more things here that they need to do for their salvation to be complete first of all they need to make a verbal confession that Jesus Christ is Lord but second of all they need to believe in their heart and the resurrection of Jesus Christ without these last two things their salvation is incomplete so guys you may or may not need when I share with you today but that's exactly how the Holy Spirit works
you take in truth today and then maybe a year from now or two years from now five years from now the Holy Spirit is going to bring back this message in your heart at the right time and give you the right words to share with somebody who may need to have a relationship with Jesus Christ question of the day what is it that it's most difficult for you in terms of sharing your faith what does work well for you is it something that you're comfortable with is it something that is very awkward for you I
