Lesson five everyone is condemned to hell
Everyone is condemned to hell
number one
Everyone must understand that they are personally condemned to hell before they can be saved so letter a up to this point
We have explained sin and the consequences for sin
We have explained sin and the consequence for sin letter B
Now we will personalize it and make sure that they understand that they are personally condemned
Because of their sin that they are personally condemned because of their sin
Number two a person must understand that it does not matter how good of a person they have been letter a
People usually agree that they are not perfect
But they like to think that they are not bad or at least not bad enough to go to hell
So we need to show them that they along with everyone else are bad enough to go to hell
So letter B. Let's talk about how this conversation may go so we just got done
Explaining revelation 2014 and 15 and death and hell were cast into lake of fire
This is a second death and whosoever is not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire
once I've explained that then I like to set up the next verse revelation 21 8 by saying in
Revelation 21 8 God actually gives us a list of who's going to hell notice what he says he says, but the fearful and
unbelieving in the abominable and murderers and whoremongers and sorcerers and idolaters and
All liars shall have their part in the lake which birthed with fire and brimstone, which is the second death
So I'll read the verse notice how I slow down
To emphasize a certain part and then I'll say something along these lines notice is a pretty bad list of sins
I mean it says the fearful the
Unbelieving the abominable the murderers the whoremongers the sorcerers the idolaters these are pretty bad sins
Most people will agree that a murderer is a pretty bad sin
But notice what the Bible says here at the end of this list it says and all
Liars it says and all liars and I'll ask the person and I'll say it's kind of joking now
Let me ask you a question, but you got to be honest with me
Okay, you ever told lie before of course everyone's gonna say yeah, I've lied. Oh, yeah, of course we've all lied
Exactly everybody's lied right now notice notice what God does here
He gives us this list of really bad sins murderers whoremongers sources idolaters
Then at the end he had to the sin that we've all committed that we're all liars
He says and all liars shall have their part in the lake which birthed with fire and brimstone
Which is the second death and I'll explain to them the point that God's trying to make here
Is that we're all sinners and no matter how good you are you're not good enough because though
I could tell you I've never murdered anybody. I've lied before and according to this verse
That's enough to send somebody to hell so we
Read the verse we reveal the truth, and you can review the concept
Do you see how any sin even telling a lie is enough to send you to hell?
With reviewing the concept let me just say this I've put questions in each one of these points here
But just know that you don't necessarily have to review a concept if you're talking to someone and they're just like
Not in their head like yeah
That's reviewing the concept you can tell that they're agreeing with you
So you could move on without necessarily having to ask those questions
So then number three page 21
Any sin is enough to condemn you to help any sin is enough to condemn you to hell
In letter A
It doesn't matter which sins you have or haven't performed even one sin will send you to hell
This is how this conversation may go I like to go to James 2 10
So I'll explain to them
But the fearful and I'm believing in the abominable and murderers and home mongers and sources idolaters and all liars shall have their part
In legs to print the fire mistle which is a second death
Let me ask you a question you ever lied before of course you have right the Bible says that God be true
But every man a liar and the point that God's making here when he gives us his
List of really bad sins murderers whoremongers sources idolaters and then at the end he adds this sin that we've all committed
Which is telling a lie. He says in all liars is that none of us are perfect
we're all sinners and no matter how good you are you're not good enough and
Even just telling a lie will send you to hell. So I explained that and
Then I like to set up James 2 10
So what I'll often do is just say here. Let me show you a versus kind of puts this all together in
James chapter 2 and verse 10 the Bible says for whosoever shall keep the whole law and
Yet offend in one point. He is guilty of all now here. God has given us a hypothetical
He's saying if it was possible for somebody to keep the whole law and they just offend in one point
They make one mistake. They tell one lie. The Bible says he is guilty of all
So you see how the Bible is teaching that no matter how good you are
You're not good enough to go to heaven because in order to go to heaven you have to be perfect
You see that and if the person is just like yeah, I understand I agree
Then that's good. They're getting the information that we're trying to give them
So if you look at page 22 the next page number four
Let's just review the bad news
Letter a
We pay our sin through death
letter B
Not just the physical death, but the second death which is being cast into the lake of fire
And then letter C according to the Bible. Every person is condemned to hell because of their sin and then number five. I
Want you to understand that this is a transitional point in the conversation if you divide the gospel into two sections
I like to think of it as the bad news and the good news
What we've covered thus far is the bad news now the point that I'm making is this
This part of the sowing presentation should literally take like five to seven minutes
What we've spent the entire day reviewing if you're actually doing this at the door. It's gonna be like five to seven minutes of
The gospel presentation and then let her see if you do a good job in
This section and they understand that they are condemned to hell
Then you will have their attention for the rest of the conversation. I can take 20 minutes. I
Can take an hour if I want I don't recommend that but I can take as long as I want to show them the other
Side how to not go to help these five to seven minutes are really important because this is you showing them
You need to hear what I'm gonna tell you
The reason I'm telling you that is because you're gonna notice as we get into the rest of this presentation
The rest of this presentation I tend to slow down
I still only take like 15 to 20 minutes to give the gospel, but I tend to slow down
I use a lot of illustrations
I use a lot of examples and things like that because by then they're hooked and look if you do this
Right, you will see this in their faces where they're like, wow, I didn't know that and oftentimes I even ask
Hey, I showed you the bad news you you mind if I show you the good news now and usually people are like
Yeah, absolutely
So what I'm saying is do a good job with this part and you will have them for the rest of the time
So here's what we've learned so far. We're all sinners and our sin is condemned us to hell
Okay, now let's just map out the verses real quickly so you can have that if you're there at Revelation 21 8 right on number 5 in
front of Revelation 21 8 and that indicates that this is the fifth verse in your soul winning presentation and then write James
2 10 next to or somewhere near at the end of Revelation 21 8 that indicates to you that that's the next verse you're gonna go
To after and then if you flip over to James 2 10 write a number 6
Next to James 2 10 or in front of James 2 10 and this indicates
There's a sixth verse that you're going to in this presentation and then near or round James 2 10, right?
Roman is 6 23 B Roman 6 23 B
Because if you remember we've already gone to Roman 6 23, but we're gonna go there twice to make two different points
We've already made the first point for the wages since death now
We're gonna come back to make the second point but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord
All right, so Romans 6 23 B to indicate that we are going
To that verse we're going back to that verse for the second time
so we talked about lesson number five and we understand that we are at a
Transitional point in our gospel presentation if we've done a good job up to now. We've got them
They'll give us whatever time we need to show them because we showed them
You're a sinner on your way to hell and they're gonna give us whatever time we need to explain to them how not
to go
You
