WE MUST KNOW HOW TO PRESENT THE GOSPEL

In preaching the gospel, we must know how to PRESENT the GOSPEL. When we are sharing the GOSPEL with others especially blind Christians, we DON’T have to start by telling them the following:

(1) Asking for forgiveness is wrong

(2) Tongue speaking is wrong

(3)Paying tithes is wrong.

If we do that, their “HEARTS” will even become more HARDENED, and they will not get any “CONVICTION” in whatever we tell them concerning the above issues even though what we are saying is the “TRUTH.” But rather we have to do the following:

(1) First of all, we have to EXPOSE their fundamental SINFUL NATURE and letting them know that if they BELIEVE in CHRIST and they are still SINNERS, then they cannot go to Heaven because they are still “Old Creatures” and not “New Creatures”(2 Corinthians 1:17). This is how we PRUNE their hearts.

(2) Then secondly, we must let them know the reason why God gave us the “LAW” and why no one can obey all the articles of the “LAW” to become “RIGHTEOUS”

(3) Thirdly, we must let them know that JESUS CHRIST did not save us with ONLY His “BLOOD,” but He came by both “WATER and BLOOD” (1 John 5:6)

When we preach the above points to them from various angles of the “Scriptures,” they will then realize that their FAITH is truly WRONG. It is then that you can begin to point out to them that the “Prayers of repentance” and “tongue” speaking, and “tithes” is WRONG, and they will humbly accept it because in the first place they have realize that even though they believe in these things, they are still SINNERS. They will then believe in all the other things which you will share with them even though they may ask further questions.

If in the first place you don’t point out for the person to realize that even the basic fundamentals of His FAITH in CHRIST is completely WRONG, then there is nothing that will make him accept what you will say about “tithes” and “tongues.” Let us understand this points very well.

As spiritual soldiers of CHRIST, we must know how to wage SPIRITUAL WARS with the Christians whom we are going to meet with the WEAPONS of the “TRUE GOSPEL.” Their WEAPONS are FALSE but ours are TRUE. And we know very well that “TRUTH always CONQUERS.” Therefore if we are able to expose their own SINFULNESS, it will silence them, break them down, and make them SPEECHLESS. If we don’t do that, then the moment we open our mouth to talk about “tongues” and “tithes” they will also defend it.

Unless a Christian realize that it is WRONG for him to be a “SINNER,” then there is nothing else for you to share with him any further. We don’t have to jump from the essential issues to the unimportant ones. We must let them know HOW God has made us “RIGHTEOUS,” then the other things can follow. If a Christians does not want to be born again as a “RIGHTEOUS” person, don’t waste your time to talk about “tongues” and “tithes” because it will not produce any results (FRUITLESS).

When JESUS was on this earth, He preached about “repentance,” and “righteousness” and the “kingdom.” This is because when a person is delivered from “SIN” and becomes qualified as a “citizen” of Heaven, then he will also be delivered from the other WRONG doctrines as well.

This is how we can avoid unnecessary ARGUMENTS. The Scripture clearly tells us, “But AVOID foolish and IGNORANT disputes, knowing that they generate STRIFE. And a servant of God must not QUARREL but be GENTLE to all, able to teach, patient, in humility CORRECTING those who in OPPOSITION, if God perhaps will grant them REPENTANCE, so that they may KNOW the TRUTH, and that they may come to their SENSES and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken CAPTIVE by him to do his will” (2 Timothy 2:23-26).
