Conversation With A Sinner

Christian: Do you know that God has a plan, He wants a family of His own, of sons and daughters who love and respect Him, but there is only one problem, sin has gotten in the way, sinful man cannot enter into the presence of God (heaven) because God is completely Holy and Just.

Sinner: But how can God justify wicked men and forgive their sins?

Christian: Because of what God did when He sent His Son Jesus, who lived 33 years of a complete sinfree life of obedience to His Father and died on a cross, where He bore the full brunt of His wrath and became sin for us. He shed His blood and took the punishment meant for us and took our sins to the grave with Him.

Sinner: But how can one man Jesus die for everyone?

Christian: Because His life is worth more than everyone combined because Jesus is not only fully man, He is fully God.

Christian: Do you know that God gave us laws so that we know what He expects from us? Have you ever lied, or stolen?

Sinner: Yes, I have.

Christian: So what does that make you?

Sinner: A liar and a thief I suppose.

Christian: So you know the wrath of God abides on you because you have broken His law? So if you died right now where would you go?

Sinner: Yes, I have broken His laws and I would go to Hell!

Christian: So what do you want to do?

Sinner: I want to go to Heaven and not to Hell!

Christian: So what do you suppose you should do about it?

Sinner: I don't know. Should I get baptized?

Christian: Have you done that before?

Sinner: Yes

Christian: Did that work last time? Did you have assurance?

Sinner: No, I guess not. Well should I say a prayer and ask Jesus into my heart?

Christian: Have you done that before?

Sinner: Yes

Christian: Were you sincere?

Sinner: I think so.

Christian: If you were more sincere and really got broken and maybe got a witness to your sincerity, do you think then He would save you, or would it change anything?

Sinner: No, probably not. (dejected)

Christian: Well, continue on then, what should you do?

Sinner: Should I confess my sins?

Christian: Have you done that before?

Sinner: Yes

Christian: Did He forgive you?

Sinner: I don't know.

Christian: Well maybe if you pray and read your bible more and really fervently ask God to save you or maybe if you ask Him to forgive you again, might He not save you then? Or do you think it will make a change in you?

Sinner: No it won't. I'll just continue sinning and confessing forever! That is all I do is sin and confess and I'm miserable!

Christian: So what do you want to do?

Sinner: I want to be a Christian and go to heaven!

Christian: Well is there anything you can do, to be a saved?

Sinner: NO, I'm lost! It's hopeless!

Finally we are getting somewhere.

Christian: What has Jesus done so you can get saved?

Sinner: Well He died on a cross.

Christian: For who?

Sinner: For everyone.

Christian: Just for everyone?

Sinner: For me.

Christian: And what did He do with your sin?

Sinner: Well He took it into the grave.

Christian: So where is it now?

Sinner: In the grave! (starting to smile)

Christian: So if you would die today, where would you go?

Sinner: To Heaven! (Sinner overjoyed! Just got saved without a prayer!)

Romans 4:5 To him that worketh not but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Jesus died for the UNGODLY! Friend, that is you and me!
It's a FREE GIFT. Dwell on that, FREE GIFT! You cannot do anything to earn it and and the only people the gift is offered to, is THE UNGODLY! This means YOU! This is wonderful news and you don't have to DO ANYTHING, just believe. It's not what you do my friend, it's what He has done... Tetelesti. It is finished.
