A M

essage From

Our P

astor

I’d like to ask you a very important question: W

hen is the last time you led som

eone to salvation?

Far too often, we, as believers, leave this responsibility to som

eone else “with that gift.” B

ut as Christ

followers, isn’t it required of all of us to w

in souls for the Kingdom

? Friends, it’s not a job for the faithful few

. It’s a mandate for all w

ho claim to live a life under the authority of a Sovereign G

od.

We’ve gotten off track, letting anything and everything distract us from

top priority. Many of us have

become so absorbed in church culture that w

e rarely reach out to those outside the walls w

ho are confused and longing for clarity. W

e work hard to please ourselves, yet w

e forget about those who are dying to live.

By m

yself I can make a difference; but together, our pow

er is further magnified.

I want to assist you in your journey of intent to change this w

orld with m

e. Enclosed you’ll find m

aterials and resources to help you along. B

ut above all, I urge you to dig deep and discover that you’re already equipped w

ith a strong foundation to hit the mark every tim

e: God’s love. Follow

His com

mandm

ent to “L

ove your neighbor as yourself” and more than half the battle is w

on. It’s a fail-proof strategy that will

transform hearts at all costs.

I am looking forw

ard to witnessing the salvation that springs forth as a result of unity in this B

ody of Christ.

Souls are waiting. Y

ou are the answer. T

hank you for walking in the call.

THE GREAT COMMISSION TO THE BODY OF BELIEVERS

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,” “ teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Matthew 28: 19-20

3WHY DO WE NEED SALVATION?

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

John 14:6

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

Ephesians 2: 8-9

There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God: for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to Him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

John 3:1-8

4WHAT DO WE STAND FOR AS A BODY OF BELIEVERS?

For God so loved this world that He gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

John 3:16

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God...

Romans 3: 23

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 6:23

That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Romans 10: 9-10

5SALVATION SCRIPTURES

Salvation is a single plan. There is only one road that leads to eternal life with God. Jesus is the only door way. John 10:7-9

Salvation is a work of the Holy Spirit. Just as you do not control your physical birth, you can not control your spiritual birth; it is a gift from God.

Ephesians 2:8-9

Receiving salvation means receiving Jesus as your Savior and entering into a personal relationship with God. John 17:3

Receiving salvation is a powerful, personal response to the gospel (the good news about Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross for our sins). We must repent of our sins.

Acts 2:37-39

Receiving salvation is simple, direct, personal, and public. Salvation is as close as your own mouth and heart. If we believe in our heart and say with our mouth that Christ is the risen Lord, we will be saved.

Romans 10:8-10

6PRAYER OF SALVATION

(have the person repeat after you)

Dear God, I admit that I am a sinner in need of a Savior. Please forgive me of my sins. Give me the abundant life here on earth and eternal life with You in heaven that You promised in Your word. I believe Jesus Christ died and arose for my sins. I now confess Jesus as Lord and Savior of my life. Now fill me with your Holy Spirit, so I will learn your will that you have for my life. Thank you for saving me! In Jesus’ Name, AMEN!

PRAYER OF COVERING:

(Now pray a prayer of covering for the sealing of the word, salvation, and any concerns he/she has.) Then CELEBRATE!

7MESSAGES TO RELAY TO THE NEWLY SAVED

“NOW THAT YOU’RE SAVED…”

YOU ARE NOT PERFECT…Did you know that becoming saved or accepting Christ as your Lord and Savior did not make you perfect and without sin for the rest of your life? Many Christians struggle with the concept of becoming a “new creature in Christ Jesus”

(1 Peter 5:8; 2 Corinthians 5:17)

THE HOLY SPIRIT COMES TO DWELL IN YOU…Jesus promised that when you become a Christian, the Holy Spirit would come to dwell in you and be with you, for the purpose of teaching and guiding you in your everyday affairs.

NEVER QUESTION YOUR SALVATION…As you continue to grow in the Word of God, you will experience new victories over sin in your life. You must never give up, turn back or question your salvation. Your salvation is based on your faith in Jesus Christ, who has redeemed you from all sin.

8YOUR OLD NATURE WILL CHALLENGEYOUR NEW NATURE…Your body houses both your old nature and your new nature. The challenge comes when your new nature tries to evict the old, comfortable sin nature that has dominated and controlled your life.

As your old nature continually challenges your new nature, you occasionally may revert back to your “old ways” and sin. The new Christ nature that is within you convicts and points to the sin that has taken place. Once you confess the sin and ask God to forgive you of the sin, your old nature has been defeated again.

Your new nature will take control as you embrace the Word of God by hearing and applying the Word to your life. The minute you do not allow the new nature to function in your life, the old nature will take control.
