What To
Say
(cold door knocking)
1) "Good morning sir, how are you today? (his
response) We are on a campaign for Christ, sharing the gospel with
people. We would like to share with you a very interesting Bible
study. For instance how would you answer the first question on #12 (of
Lesson #1)?" (his response)
2) "Would you like to see what the Bible
says?" (his response) (Have him read the scripture.) (note: Have
him to also read and answer the second and third questions)
3) "This is a three lesson study to help you to
understand what God’s will is so that you can go to heaven. We would be
happy to go through these three lessons with you. Would you like to do
that?" (his response)
4) "We could study now or this evening at
7:00 PM, which would you prefer?"
(to friends)
"John, there has been
something I’ve been wanting to talk with you about for some time and that is
your relationship with God and your soul’s salvation. I feel guilty for
not having talked with you yet and I’m sorry. John if you were to die
tonight do you know for certain that you would have a home in Heaven?"
(Wait for his answer.) "I can share with you from the Bible how you can
go to Heaven, would you like that?" (His response.) "We could
study now or tomorrow evening at 7:00 PM, which would you prefer?"
Or "John you’re a very
fine individual and I appreciate you as a friend. You are honest, kind
to your family, and a good person; but you are not a Christian. You may
have wondered why I haven’t talked with you before, but I just can’t continue
without talking with you. Have you thought much about where you will
spend eternity?" (His response.) "I would like to share with you a very
interesting Bible study. For instance how would you answer question #12
(of Lesson #1)?" (His response.) Would you like to see what the Bible
says?" (His response.) (Have him to read the scripture.) "This is a
three lesson study to help you to understand what God’s will is so that you
can go to Heaven. We would be happy to go through these three lessons
with you. Would you like to do that?" (His response.) "We could
study now or this evening at 7:00 PM, which would you prefer?"
Or "John we are going
to one of two places in eternity, I want to go to Heaven, which place do you
want to go?" (His response) "I can share with you from the Bible how you
can go to Heaven, would you like that?" (His response.) We could study
tonight or tomorrow night at 7:00 PM, which would you prefer?"
Or if asked, "Do you
believe that only members of the church of Christ are going to Heaven and
everyone else is going to Hell?" Your answer, "John, it does not really
matter what I believe, or what you believe, or what any other person
believes. What really matters is what the Bible says you need to do to
go to Heaven. Could I share with you what the Bible says that you need
to do in order to go to Heaven?"
