MAKING SALVATION KNOWN
John Baker
Scripture Reading: II Corinthians 5:20
"To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation" ( II Corinthians 5:19). This is our charge as believers. We should pray as Paul did for boldness to make known the message for today. There are many ways we can spread the gospel of grace such as handing out tracts, etc. An effective way to explain salvation is through personal testimony. We need not know theological terms or conditions, but simply explain what God has done for us.
A simple outline one can use in making salvation known is:
1. The fact of sin. (Romans 3:23)
2. The penalty for sin. (Romans 6:23), (Romans 5:12)
3. The penalty for sin must be paid, (Hebrews 9:27).
4. The penalty for sin was paid by the Lord Jesus Christ (II Corinthians 5:21).
5.We must believe and receive the gift of salvation (John 1:12) (Romans 5:1).
"Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures" ( I Corinthians 15:1-4).
