I never thought I will bring someone to Christ… over the msn! PTL!

I just did with my colleague, D!

After being a believer for some 20+ years, my circle of influence is mostly believers friends, & for the non-believing friends are merely acquantainces. So there has been little oppty to share the Gospel..

In fact of late, I had wanted to reach out to A, whom I still do, though the road seemed tough (PERSEVERE)… D was kinda totally unexpected. Indeed His ways are higher than my ways, He works in wonders i can’t fathom!

Though D & I were quite close at work, we hardly talk about spiritual things. We had gone running together after work & even on Sunday! It is only abt, maybe 3 months ago (?), when our work place got worse, & his wife then had risk of being retrenched (since then was retrenched & also just found new work) that he started to ask me about God & all. And all over msn cos we msn quite abit.

So from Adam & Eve, to sin, to Good Friday & Easter, we discussed over msn. I invited him to church & he readily accepted even though his wife & dad disapprove. He even joined CG for the GF Amazing Race & easter service even though I was in Japan!

Just felt he is ready to accept Christ even though there are many things he do not know or understand.

Today he joined me at the special prayer service at 9am, & he actually reached church at 8:30! And complained how come I am so late! haha..

So i just take the oppty (at about 11pm) to ask him if he ready to accept Christ and led him to the sinners’ prayer.

 

1. God Loves You!

The Bible says, “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life”

The problem is that . . .

 

2. All of us have done, said or thought things that are wrong. This is called sin, and our sins have separated us from God.

The Bible says “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” God is perfect and holy, and our sins separate us from God forever. The Bible says “The wages of sin is death.”

The good news is that, about 2,000 years ago,

 

3. God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins.

Jesus is the Son of God. He lived a sinless life and then died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. “God demonstrates His own love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.”

Jesus rose from the dead and now He lives in heaven with God His Father. He offers us the gift of eternal life — of living forever with Him in heaven if we accept Him as our Lord and Savior. Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by Me.”

God reaches out in love to you and wants you to be His child. “As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe on His name.” You can choose to ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sins and come in to your life as your Lord and Savior.

 

4. If you want to accept Christ as Savior and turn from your sins, you can ask Him to be your Savior and Lord by praying a prayer like this:

“Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins.  Please forgive my sins and give me the gift of eternal life.  I ask you in to my life and heart to be my Lord and Savior. I want to serve you always.”

Did you pray this prayer?
