5. The Great Commission
Jesus Commands His Followers to Go…
Matthew 28:18-20, KJV
• And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is
given unto me in heaven and in earth.
• Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost:
• Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto
the end of the world. Amen.

6. The Power of the Holy Ghost
It is the Power to Go…
Acts 1:8, AMP
• But ye shall receive power (strength, ability,
boldness), after that the Holy Ghost is come upon
you: and ye shall be witnesses (testifying of what you
have seen and heard) unto me both in Jerusalem
(personal evangelism), and in all Judea (outreach
ministry), and in Samaria (missions), and unto the
uttermost part of the earth (global ministry).

7. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!

8. Are You Guilty?
Murder
Though passive, most
Christians are GUILTY of murder.

oversight: neglected to return the call.

10. Legal
Evangelism is YOUR Responsibility
Without grace and salvation, everyone is
guilty under the law
Romans 3:19-20, KJV
• Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it
saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth
may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty
before God.
• Therefore by the deeds of the law there
shall no, flesh be justified in his sight: for by
the law is the knowledge of sin.

11. Biblical
Evangelism is YOUR Responsibility
The law of God requires active evangelism
Ezekiel 3:17-19, NLT
• “Son of man, I have appointed you as a watchman for
Israel. Whenever you receive a message from me, warn
people immediately.
• If I warn the wicked, saying, „You are under the penalty
of death,‟ but you fail to deliver the warning, they will
die in their sins. And I will hold you responsible for
their deaths.
• If you warn them and they refuse to
repent and keep on sinning, they will die
in their sins. But you will have saved
yourself because you obeyed me.”

12. Spiritual
Evangelism is YOUR Responsibility
2 Timothy 4:5
• But watch thou in all things, endure affliction, do the work
of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

14. The Ministry of Reconciliation
The Call of All
2 Corinthians 5:18-21, KJV
• And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to
himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of
reconciliation;
• To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto
himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath
committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
• Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God
did beseech you by us; we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye
reconciled to God.
• For he hath made him to be sin for us, who
knew no sin; that we might be made the
righteousness of God in him.

15. TRUE VS. FALSE CONVERSION

16. False Conversion
A Sad Reality and Shocking Truth
• 9 out of every 10 believers are “backsliders”
• Only 2% of evangelical Christians actively share their
faith
• Jehovah‟s Witnesses and Mormons are the most active
of evangelical groups claiming to be Christians
• Eastern Religions, Black Nationalist Groups, The
Church of Satan, Cults and the Occult actively recruit
members at least five times the rate of those in the
Christian Church
• Retention within cults and occultist
groups is close to 98%, as compared to
less than 10% for the evangelical
Christian church

17. What a Shame
The Big Picture

recorded

12 months

It‟s All in the Message
DROWNING VACATION
Message of 100% Law Message of 100% Grace

28. Hell’s Best Kept Secret
Keep it in Perspective
“I’ve found by long
experience that the
severest threatenings of
the Law of God have a
prominent place in
leading men to Christ.
They must see
themselves lost before
they will cry for mercy;
they’ll not escape danger
until they see it.”
A. B. Earl

29. Hell’s Best Kept Secret

42. Stick and Move!
A medicated shot can heal many sicknesses and diseases. However, one
must feel the puncture of the needle before the cooling medication can
flow to the area of infirmity.
1 : Present the LAW – Establish Need
The needle is the Law. Every
new believer must understand
that he or she is guilty of
sin, and therefore in violation of
the Law of God.
2 : Present GRACE – Introduce the Solution
The medicine represents the Gospel. The grace
of God has heals our sin through the blood
of Jesus Christ!
HALLELUJAH

43. THE MESSAGE

44. Truth is the Key
John 8:32, KJV
And ye shall know the
truth, and the truth shall
make you free.
LAW and GRACE
Must be presented in BALANCE
BALANCE = 90% Law + 10% Grace

45. Meet G.R.A.C.E.
The Plan of Salvation
God’s Grace (John 3:16)
Repentance (Acts 2:38)
Acknowledgement (Romans 10:9-10)
Confession (1 John 1:9)
Expectation (Acts 2:38)

46. W.W.J.D.
What Would Jesus Do?
The Way of the Master
• Would you consider yourself to
be a good person?
• Do you think you’ve kept the
Law (Ten Commandments)?
• Judgment: Would you be found
innocent or guilty?
• Destiny: Would you go to
heaven or hell?

47. Seal the Deal
Always encourage the new
believer to pray. Then, pray with
the individual on their behalf.
AVOID the "Sinner's Prayer”

48. Discipleship and Maintenance
Encourage the new believer to . . .
• Develop a Lifestyle of Prayer (2 Chronicles 7:14)
• Study the Word of God (2 Timothy 2:15)
• Receive the Holy Ghost(Acts 5:32)
• Be Baptized in Water (Acts 2:38)
• Attend a Bible-Believing Church (Hebrews 10:25)
DISCIPLESHIP IS BIBLICAL
FOLLOW-UP IS NOT!!!
