Hello everybody I'm back with another video in the how to go soul winning
series and today I want to talk about the most important point that you want
to establish and you want to repeat several times throughout the gospel
presentation and that's the gospel itself. The Bible tells us what the
gospel is in 1st Corinthians chapter 15 it says for I delivered unto you first
of all that which I also received how that Christ died for our sins according
to the scriptures and that he was buried and the rose again the third day
according to the scriptures right. The Bible makes it very clear that this
gospel itself is where the power is it says in Romans 1 16 for I am not ashamed
of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone
that believeth right so in order for somebody to believe the truth they have
to believe the gospel right they have to know what the gospel is the fact that
Jesus died for their sins and was buried and rose again so do not skip over or
de-emphasize the death the burial and the resurrection right not only do you
want to preach it you know just initially after you explain who Jesus is
and why he came to this earth but you want to keep bringing up again later in
the gospel presentation and if they don't believe in these things if they
don't believe Jesus died for their sins if they don't believe in the resurrection
then they won't get saved right it's not just believing that Jesus exists it's
not just trusting a Christ that you've made in your own mind if they have no
idea what the gospel is if they don't believe that then they're not gonna get
saved right so this is something that you want to make sure to emphasize now
firstly after again talking about who Jesus is you want to talk about like I
said you know the fact that he's God and flesh and that he lived a similar life
what we talked about in the last video but then you want to go into talking
about the death of Christ to pay for our sins right almost everybody has heard
the phrase Christ died for our sins but very few people know what it means right
and usually when I preach the gospel and I say that Jesus died for our sins I'll
ask them have you ever heard about that before and 99% of the time they'll say
yes right but a lot of people don't really realize or don't really think
about or don't really know what that means it's kind of just a phrase that's
repeated in our society and everybody's heard it right so in order to explain
what the death of Christ was all about you could use 1st Peter 2 24 Romans 5 8
2nd Corinthians 5 21 those are all good verses to explain it personally I use
1st Peter 2 24 it says that who his own self bear our sins and his own body on
the tree that we being dead to sin should live unto righteousness by whose
stripes you were healed right so that tells us that when Jesus died on the
cross he bore our sins on himself Romans 5 8 again Christ died for us right you
could explain that as Christ died in our place and then 2nd Corinthians 5 21 for
we have made him to be sin for us who knew no sin that we might be made the
righteousness of God and him so these are all good verses that you could use
to explain why it is that Jesus died on the cross he died for our sin he took
our sin on himself also it's important to explain to the sinner that Jesus died
for all of their sins and this will be important later when you establish
eternal security right so the verse I usually use is the blood of Jesus Christ
his son cleanses up from all sin that's the second half of 1st John 1 7 right
and so I'll say something like well the past sins the present sin future sin
small sins big sins Jesus died for every single one of them right this will help
them to understand why it is that their sins will not take him to hell if they
believe because if you skip over this point and then you tell them what you
believe but then you commit these sins later they won't send you to hell they
might be confused but it's easier for them to understand that if you explain
to them well Jesus already paid for that sin when you die on the cross even the
really bad sins even the sins that you do after you're saved Jesus died for
those sins also right so secondly the the burial and the resurrection right
again don't skip over this point this is something that you should also emphasize
when you're preaching the gospel because many old IFB soul winners they'll talk
about the death and you'll hear these phrases like oh the finished work of
Christ on the cross right I've heard that so many times but the thing is if
Jesus died but he didn't rise again then corn into 1st Corinthians 15 if you read
that chapter then we wouldn't be saved if Jesus didn't rise from the dead so
the resurrection is important to preach as well and don't take for granted don't
just assume that they know that Jesus rose from the dead you'd be surprised
how many people even people who go to church claim to be Christian don't know
about the resurrection many people I've talked to I've you know they say oh I go
to this Baptist Church you know a church where you think that they know about the
resurrection and they you know they're an adult or they're you know at least
like a teenager or something they've been alive on the search for many years
and they don't know that Jesus rose from the dead that's like they've never
heard that before right this happens right our society is getting away from
the Bible a lot of people don't know about this so you want to preach to them
also about the resurrection so usually the verse I'll quote is acts 231 where
it says his soul is not left in hell neither did his flesh see corruption and
then I'll also quote to them first Corinthians 5 for which was on this
slide right here and that he was buried in that he rose again the third day
according to the scripture so I'll explain when Jesus died on the cross
for your sins his body was buried and then his soul went into hell for three
days and three nights but I'll tell them the Bible says his soul was not left in
hell neither did his flesh see corruption and I'll usually ask them
what happened after three days because sometimes they do know and sometimes
they're able to say oh he rose from the dead I'll say yeah exactly if they don't
know then I'll quote them first Corinthians 5 for right Romans 425 is
another good verse I used to use that a lot more in my gospel presentation not
nowadays really but it's good to establish again why Jesus rose from the
dead it says he was delivered for our offenses and was raised again for our
justification right so that's also a good segue onto explaining how to be
forgiven of your sins right to say well Jesus died and he rose again and he did
this so that you could be forgiven so you'd be made righteous but obviously we
know not everybody is going to be forgiven of their sins and be justified
so then I'll go into explaining how to be justified by believing in Jesus right
also you want to ask them if they believe that Jesus rose bodily and
physically right this is something that I've learned a little bit more recently
because I realize again from hearing other people having this experience and
seeing this myself that some people they believe that Jesus's spirit just
went straight to heaven but they don't know that he bodily rose from the dead
right they kind of heard about the resurrection but they don't really know
what that means so people just think well Jesus was dead and then his soul
was in hell but then it after three days it just went straight up into heaven
like they don't believe he actually physically came back to life but they
have to believe that Jesus rose from the dead in order to be saved okay the
Bible is very clear about this it says in Romans 10 9 that if thou shalt
confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shall believe in thy heart that God
hath raised him from the dead thou shalt be saved so if somebody does not believe
that Jesus rose from the dead they are not saved right so again you want to
make sure that they understand that Jesus not just resurrected in just like
a spiritual sense but they believe that Jesus bodily physically grows from the
dead right you'd be surprised again how many people don't know about that now
another good habit is to explain the purpose of the gospel the purpose of why
Jesus died on the cross and that is to pay for our sins thus then we can be
forgiven and remitted of our sins right before transitioning and talking about
how to actually receive that forgiveness by belief right now the reason why this
is important to explain like to use the the payment analogy because it helps to
establish that they cannot pay for it themselves right it also helps to
establish that Jesus already did it for them right so to explain to them that
well Jesus already did this part for you you know you deserve death and health
for your sins but Jesus did in your place right it also helps to establish
that Jesus is a substitute and they didn't die for no reason right again
everybody knows that Jesus died on the cross but most people don't know why
most people don't know he did it for them and for their sins right so that's
why it's important again to emphasize the gospel and to explain why it is that
Jesus died for your sins why it is that Jesus rose from the dead and to go
through each of these points don't just run through it and just kind of like say
hey Jesus died for you and rose again and then just get into now all you have
to do is believe in him because again just because you tell them that doesn't
mean they actually believe it you want to make sure they believe it before
moving on to the next point so thank you ready for watching and God bless you
