I gotta tell you the story. So yesterday who was I with? I was with Milan. You know, we're at this We're sowing yesterday and we're knocking on doors preaching the gospel and it was kind of dry, right? It was a little dry, but we get to this one door and this guy's washing dishes and it's like hey, hi How's it going? You know, my name is Bruce want to give an invite to our church he walks all the way up to me past the garage and You know, I say are you know you go to church anywhere he goes Yeah, I used to go to church and he kind of gives me his little dissertation of the church She's used to go to I said, well, you know what more important the church is knowing where you're gonna go when you die Are you 100% sure that if you die today you go to heaven and he said I'm not I said you got a couple minutes. Can I show it from the Bible? He's like, I'm busy right now And he said are you sure it'll only take a couple minutes and he goes All right, go ahead Well, we'll turn into like a couple minutes turn into 40 minutes and look my gospel presentations never 40 minutes Okay, but this guy he he he was trying to just understand the gospel And so I'm giving him the gospel I'm giving him the gospel and he just stuck on this whole thing about repenting of your sins. He just stuck on it He's not being stubborn It's only he had to overcome that thought that you don't have to repent of your sins. You don't have to do works You don't have to be a good person to go to heaven. You know, the Bible says that salvation is a gift Okay, so a gift is what is without condition. It's something that's free, right? So I forgot to say here's salvation But you got to make sure you live a holy life keep the commandments and do all these things That's not a gift a gift comes without condition. Okay. It's not a wage It's a gift and so I'm explaining this to him we're going to verses after verses and everything myself this guy's not getting them. I'm ready to just give up move on and But I just kept that and we kept that and just shown him verses after verse after verse And he goes, but I think I got saved before he said He goes cuz I repented on my sin and all these things and I said his name is Marty. I said Marty And I just thought I said according to the Bible if you say you've trusted Christ But you also repenting of your sins according to the Bible. You're not saved And I said, let me explain it to you. Let me show you what the Bible says about that And it was just he was having such a hard time getting it. But finally that's like the light bulb went on and he goes So if I believe on Christ I'm saved I'm going to heaven I said yes, and he goes and if I continue in sin I won't receive punishment in the life to come and he's and I didn't tell him this he goes You're saying that I'm gonna receive the punishment here in this earth. I Said exactly actually I wasn't like Milan behind me says like yes He's like you got it and it was just like I get it. I Said yeah, I'm not saying you can just sin and nothing's ever gonna happen to you What I'm saying is this you will never suffer hell Because of your sin But if you continue in the sin that you're good that he was explaining to me about Yeah, you will suffer the consequences of that here on this earth You know because God will chastise him for that, but you know what that's better than going to hell You know and look the chastisement of the Lord according to Hebrews 12 produces the peaceable fruits of righteousness That's where God's blessing is. So he finally understood and then finally I said You know and went through the eternal security and all that and he believed all that I said would you like to get saved? He said yes, so I said I pray with me I Can pray with you and you can trust Christ as your Savior and then I remember we closed your eyes And I started saying the words and he wasn't like repeating what I was saying I was like is this guy being weird with me, you know, what's up with this guy? You know, but I looked up and he was just cuz he was crying It's just tears just dripping down from his face the fact that he understood I'm not working for my salvation anymore It's solely upon and then it was he was having a hard time repeating the words I was saying he was choking up and then afterwards, you know, he's crying. I said man. Congratulations I said today is May 23rd. And then here's the day you got saved and he told me he goes What time is it? What time is it? 630 goes 630 and then he was just like So happy the fact that he got saved and I said you have any questions Marty and he goes. Yeah, I do He's like, where's your church? He's like And I said I got a couple gifts. I want to give to you and I was giving and he said this he goes This morning I woke up And I said God I just want some answers. I Just need some answers and the answer he's looking for is how to be saved What must I do to be saved because can you please just give me some answers? He goes and then you guys came you know and I and I told I said I Said amen I said, yeah God sent us man I said we're no one special but God answered your prayers And look that goes to show you that if someone really wants to be saved and want to know how God will send someone a foolish Man, like me someone who's despised or whatever. He'll send us to go and give them the gospel and get them saved But he understood I'm saved now and if I continue in the sin God's gonna destroy my life here in this earth but I have everlasting life and That's what's happening here. So go back to go go to first Timothy chapter
