SHORT LESSONS IN EVANGELISM
LESSON 1: Preaching Christ Crucified
THERE ARE 4 IMPORTANT TRUTHS THAT ARE REVEALED AT THE CROSS OF CHRIST
THE CROSS OF CHRIST UNTO THE WICKED
1. God will turn the wicked into hell. For if God did not spare his own Beloved Son who bore the sin of many in his own body on the tree, how shall you escape the wrath of God if you stand before him with an evil heart of unbelief. Can your heart endure the great terrors of the wrath of God?
THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST UNTO THE WICKED
2. You cannot destroy God with your unbelief. Sinners already condemned Jesus to death at the cross. They failed to destroy him. He is risen indeed! Let all the God haters know that Jesus is risen from the dead indeed. Let all the God haters know that they cannot destroy God.
THE CROSS OF CHRIST UNTO ALL WHO ARE BORN OF GOD
3. God will show mercy unto all who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. For Jesus bore the sin of many and suffered the curse of God for His people. All who believe on Jesus, have been saved by God. All who believe on Jesus shall be saved from the Wrath of God. All who believe on Jesus have been and shall be eternally saved for God. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us.
THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST UNTO ALL WHO ARE BORN OF GOD
4. God's work of redemption is victorious. We are made more than conquerers through Him that loved us and gave himself for us. If we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection. Our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
