Experiencing God
Experiencing God is a way to reach our clients with the love of Jesus Christ through the truths of the word of GOD. Principle: No amount of personal effort, good works, or religious deeds can earn a place in heaven for you. “For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is a gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Step One
We use questions that determine where God is working.
- Do you have any kind of spiritual belief?
- To you, who is Jesus?
- Do you believe there is a heaven and a hell?
- If you died right now, where would you go? If heaven, why?
- If what you believe were not true, would you want to know it?
Step Two
We let the Bible speak. The client reads the verse aloud and we ask, “What does this say to you?”
- Romans 3:23 – “All have sinned.” (lying, lust, cheating, deceit, evil thoughts, immoral behavior, etc.)
- Romans 6:23 – “The wages of sin is death.”
- John 1:1-4 – “In the beginning was the Lord (Jesus)…. and the word (Jesus) was God. And the word (Jesus) was made flesh, and dwelt among us…”
- John 3:3 – “You must be born again.” We ask; why did Jesus come to die?
- John 14:6 – “I am the way.”
- Romans 10:9-11 – “ If you confess … you will be saved.”
- 2 Corinthians 5:15 – “Those that live should no longer live for themselves.”
Step Three
Close with Key Questions
- Are you a sinner?
- Do you want forgiveness for your sins?
- Do you believe Jesus died on the cross for you and rose again?
- Are you willing to put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ and what he did for you at the cross?
- Are you ready to repent and turn away from anything that is not pleasing to God? He will reveal His will to you as you grow in your relationship with him.
Then Pray
(Example) “Lord Jesus, thank you for Your gift of eternal life. I know I’m a sinner and do not deserve eternal life. But you loved me so You died and rose from the grave to purchase a place in heaven for me. I now trust in You alone for eternal life and repent of my sin. Please take control as Lord of my life. Thank you so much!”
If this prayer is the sincere desire of your heart, look at what Jesus promises to those who believe in Him; “….I say unto you, he that believes in Me has everlasting life” (John 6:47)
