  “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear.” (1 Peter 3:15)

     When the Lord gives us an opportunity to talk to someone about the things of God do we know the Scriptures that will help us talk to them about their eternal soul? Are we comfortable with the doctrine of sin, and how our sin has been paid in full, by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ? Perhaps you are familiar with the Roman Road, The Model Presentation, or Faith Evangelism. Whether you are or not, you need to have some Scripture in your hip pocket so that you can tell people what God has revealed to us through His Scripture. Here are a few that you can meditate on today and maybe even memorize so that you can talk to someone else this week.

“These things I have written unto you who believe in name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.” (1 John 5:13)

   “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. ” (John 3:16,17)

   “For all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.” (Romans 3:23-24)

   “All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned everyone to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” (Isaiah 53:6)

  “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe on His name.” (John 1:12)

   “Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.” (Acts 3:19)

  “For by grace are you saved through faith; and not of yourselves it is a gift of God.” (Ephesians 2:8)

  “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heard one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Romans 10: 9-10)

PRAY

1. Lord help me to understand and memorize what You Word says about salvation and sin and why You came into the world and died for our sins.

2. Help me to be bold enough and obedient to talk to others about You and to look for opportunities to   

speak about what You have done to save me from death and hell.

3. Fill me with Your Spirit so that I can look at others with the same compassion that You have when you look upon others You place in my life so that they might know You as I do.
