A BRIEF EVANGELISTIC PRESENTATION OF THE GOSPEL

 


 

ALL NEED TO BE SAVED: Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

 THE PENALTY: ROMANS 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 HE DIED FOR OUR SINS: Romans 5:8–10 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

 WHAT MUST WE DO? John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

 WE CANNOT EARN SALVATION: Ephesians 2:8–9 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

 WHAT ROLE DOES OBEDIENCE PLAY? Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

 IT REQUIRES EFFORT EVEN THOUGH IT IS A FREE GIFT: Philippians 2:12–13 …work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

 BUT GOD DOES THE HEAVY LIFTING: 1 Corinthians 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.

 OBEDIENCE PROVIDES BLESSING AND EVIDENCE OF A  REAL FAITH AND REPENTANCE: 1 John 2:3–5 And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him:

 GOD GETS ALL THE THANKS (James 1:17; John 15:4-5)

I recently came across (on YouTube) an organization called 'Jews for Judaism'. They reject the New Testament as being Divinely inspired. - If you are inspired to write anything about them I would be interested in reading what you what you have to say (considering your Theological background.

I think that Tovia Singer heads up this org, right? I wrote a book, Entitled "Wrestling with the Rabbis." Available on Amazon. I have written several things on Tovia, which I could post. Let me know.

The name of the organization that Tovia Singer heads up is called 'Outreach Judaism'.
'Jews for Judaism' is a different organization and was
founded earlier.

NJP said...

'Jews for Judaism' was established in 1985 by Rabbi Bentzion Kravitz, who was born in 1954.
