HOLY SPIRIT IN INVITATION ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES
HIGHLIGHTS It is easy to start conversation about Jesus Christ to our fellow true believers. How about those who do not believe? Do we need to share Christ? Not everyone will believe the Gospel but everyone should be invited. Let the finished work of Christ be known to all. In Jesus Name.
HOW IS OUR SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING AND WALK BE?
NOT OF LETTER BUT BY SPIRIT Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God, 6 who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 2COR 3:5-8
GO MAKE DISCIPLES OF MEN And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” MAT 28:18-20
REMOTEST PART OF THE EARTH But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.” ACTS 1:8
PREACH THE WORD BE INSTANT Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. 2TIM 4:2
INVITE WITH THE BOOK All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 17 so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. 2TIM 3:16-17
WHY THE GOSPEL BE GIVEN TO ALL? GOD DESIRES ALL BE SAVED Who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 1TIM 2:4
^^^ Known to all. He published it. (BIBLE AND CONSCIENCE)
GOD GIVES MERCY So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires. ROM 9:18
^^^ Unknown to us, only God can know.Secret things belong to the Lord Who will imagine a chief sinner like Saul/ Paul will get knocked out of the horse was called to serveGod desires all to be saved.
^^^ We offer the gospel universally because as far as we can discern, every person we encounter could believe. ^^^ God knows whom he will draw (John 6:44).^^^ Jesus knows who will hear his voice (John 10:27). We don’t, so we just preach.
JESUS CAN SAVE ALL For Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.” ROM 10:13
WHY DO WE INVITE EVERYONE? And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. 2COR 12:9
^^^ These three reasons explain why we invite everyone to believe the gospel. But the root of these reasons is in what Jesus did. We offer this news to everyone because of the foundational certainty that Jesus accomplished.
AS WE CLOSE Because we don’t know who will or won’t believe, because Jesus can save anybody, because everyone can afford free Grace be led by the Holy Spirit to invite.
