Part II. Proclaim Christ

All Have Sinned

Romans 3:23
23 for all have sinned
and fall short of the glory of God,

Isaiah 53:66
66 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.

Sin’s Penalty

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

Hebrews 9:27-28
27 Just as man is destined to die once,
and after that to face judgment,
28 so Christ was sacrificed once
to take away the sins of many people;
and he will appear a second time,
not to bear sin,
but to bring salvation
to those who are waiting for him.

Christ Paid Penalty

Romans 5:88
88 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this:
While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

1 Peter 3:18
18 For Christ died for sins once for all,
the righteous for the unrighteous,
to bring you to God.
He was put to death in the body
but made alive by the Spirit,
Salvation not by works

Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For it is by grace you have been saved,
through faith-
-and this not from yourselves,
it is the gift of God—
9 not by works, so that no one can boast.

Titus 3:55
55 he saved us,
not because of righteous things we had done,
but because of his mercy.
He saved us through the washing of rebirth
and renewal by the Holy Spirit,

Must Receive Christ

John 1:12
12 Yet to all who received him,
to those who believed in his name,
he gave the right to become children of God--

Revelation 3:20
20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock.
If anyone hears my voice
and opens the door,
I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.

Assurance of Salvation

1 John 5:11-13
11 And this is the testimony:
God has given us eternal life,
and this life is in his Son.
12 He who has the Son has life;
he who does not have the Son of God
does not have life.
13 I write these things to you
who believe in the name of the Son of God
so that you may know that you have eternal life.

John 5:24
24 "I tell you the truth,
whoever hears my word
and believes him who sent me
has eternal life and will not be condemned;
he has crossed over from death to life.

Part I. Live the New Life

Christ the Center

2 Corinthians 5:17
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,
he is a new creation;
the old has gone, the new has come!

Galatians 2:20
20 I have been crucified with Christ
and I no longer live,
but Christ lives in me.
The life I live in the body,
I live by faith in the Son of God,
who loved me and gave himself for me.

Obedience to Christ

Romans 12:11
11 Therefore, I urge you, brothers,
in view of God's mercy,
to offer your bodies as living sacrifices,
holy and pleasing to God -
this is your spiritual act of worship.

John 14:21
21 Whoever has my commands and obeys them,
he is the one who loves me.
He who loves me will be loved by my Father,
and I too will love him and show myself to him."

The Word

2 Timothy 3:16
16 All Scripture is God-breathed
and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting
and training in righteousness.
17 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Joshua 1:88Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth;
meditate on it day and night,
so that you may be careful to do everything written in it.
Then you will be prosperous and successful.

Hebrews 4: 12-13
12 For the word of God is living and active.
Sharper than any double-edged sword,
it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit,
joints and marrow;
it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight.
Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

2 Peter 1: 20-21
20 Above all, you must understand
that no prophecy of Scripture
came about by the prophet's own interpretation.
21 For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man,
but men spoke from God
as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

Prayer

John 15:7
7 If you remain in me,
and my words remain in you,
ask whatever you wish,
and it will be given you.

Philippians 4:6-7
6 Do not be anxious about anything,
but in everything, by prayer and petition,
with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God.
7 And the peace of God,
which transcends all understanding,
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

James 5:16
16 Therefore confess your sins to each other
and pray for each other so that you may be healed.
The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective

Fellowship

Matthew 18:20
20 For where two or three come together in my name,
there am I with them."

Hebrews 10:24-25
24 And let us consider how we may spur one another
on toward love and good deeds.
25 Let us not give up meeting together,
as some are in the habit of doing,
but let us encourage one another-
and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Ecclesiastes 4: 9-10, 12
9 Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their work:
10 If one falls down, his friend can help him up.
But pity the man who falls
and has no one to help him up!
12 Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

Witnessing

Matthew 4:19
19 "Come, follow me," Jesus said,
"and I will make you fishers of men."

Romans 1:16
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel,
because it is the power of God
for the salvation of everyone who believes:
first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
