Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
John 3:36
Starting in March we have provided information on how to use the enclosed bookmarks to share the Gospel one on one in a conversation with someone. If you have missed any of those letters or would like to review the letters are posted on this blog. This month we wrap up covering the final two questions on the bookmark.
If you remember from last month we were witnessing to an imaginary guy we called “Joe”. So ask Joe to read John 3:36 and answer the question “What if you die without Jesus?” He should answer something like “God’s wrath remains on me”. Most people are familiar with John 3:16 and cling to the eternal life part. But they skip right over the “perish” part. Here, just 20 verses later, it is much clearer that belief and obedience are connected, and perish is not just going in the ground, but facing God’s wrath—for eternity!
Now ask Joe to read Mark 1:15 (Jesus said “repent and believe in the gospel”) and then ask him “How will you respond?” If the Holy Spirit has convicted him of his sin and worked faith in him he might say “repent and believe the gospel”. He might say, “I have a lot to think about”. He might say “I don’t believe any of this”.
Regardless of Joe’s response, congratulations! You have shared the Gospel with Joe! Ask him to review the questions and Bible verses again on his own. Ask him to read the rest of the tract which quickly summaries what was discussed over the information from the last six Bezeugen Tract Club letters. Encourage him to go to www.afterlifecatalog.com/bookmark/ and read the additional explanation provided there. Most of all encourage him to read the Bible daily. The bookmark suggests a chapter of John, Acts, Romans and James a day. This takes seven weeks. You could invite him to meet you for coffee once a week for further discussion of these chapters, answer his questions, and discipleship.
As we wrap up this series we hope you are encouraged to engage people one on one with the Gospel. The ten questions and Bible references on the bookmark. Consider committing these verses and questions to memory. It will help you in sharing the Gospel. You can read the story of the bookmark tract.
We also have videos with more information about witnessing in general and using the bookmark specifically on your YouTube channel. Make it a habit to constantly learn how to better share the Gospel. Then you’ll be prepared every day as you meet people and be able to witness to them.
We are enclosing some of our most popular tracts this month. As you hand them out please consider sharing your experiences on our social media and the Everyday Club.
If you are not already enrolled in the Bezeugen Tract Club to receive 30 FREE gospel tracts you can enroll online.
