2 All Called To Witness All Called To Witness 14 Afterward he appeared to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at table, and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen. 15 And he said to them, Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. ~ Mark 16:14 15 (ESV) But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. ~ Acts 1:8 (ESV) 23 And he said to all, If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. 24 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. ~ Luke 9:23 24 (ESV) 25 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself? 26 For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. ~ Luke 9:25 26 (ESV) For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. ~ Romans 1:16 (ESV) Life Matches Words In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. ~ Matthew 5:16 (ESV) Life Matches Words But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified. ~ 1 Corinthians 9:27 (ESV) Use God s Word For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. ~ Hebrews 4:12 (ESV) Use God s Word 23 since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God; 24 for All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, 25 but the word of the Lord remains forever. And this word is the good news that was preached to you. ~ 1 Peter 1:23 25 (ESV) Pray For The Lost Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. ~ Romans 10:1 (ESV)

3 Pray For The Lost 8 And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; 10 concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; 11 concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. ~ John 16:8 11 (ESV) Seek The Lost And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and preaching that the Christ is Jesus. ~ Acts 5:42 (ESV) Seek The Lost 20 how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you in public and from house to house, 21 testifying both to Jews and to Greeks of repentance toward God and of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. ~ Acts 20:20 21 (ESV) Leave Message Unchanged But we have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God's word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight of God. ~ 2 Corinthians 4:2 (ESV) Leave Message Unchanged 3 For our appeal does not spring from error or impurity or any attempt to deceive, 4 but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please man, but to please God who tests our hearts. We Are The Messengers For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. ~ 2 Corinthians 4:5 (ESV) ~ 1 Thessalonians 2:3 4 (ESV) We Are The Messengers Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. ~ 2 Corinthians 5:20 (ESV) God Loves You For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. ~ John 3:16 (ESV) God Loves You but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ~ Romans 5:8 (ESV) All Have Sinned 10 as it is written: None is righteous, no, not one; 11 no one understands; no one seeks for God. 12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one. ~ Romans 3:10 12 (ESV)

4 All Have Sinned for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, ~ Romans 3:23 (ESV) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. ~ Romans 6:23 (ESV) 1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins 2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience ~ Ephesians 2:1 2 (ESV) among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. ~ Ephesians 2:3 (ESV) Sin s Penalty Judgment And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, ~ Hebrews 9:27 (ESV) Sin s Penalty Judgment For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil. ~ 2 Corinthians 5:10 (ESV) Christ Paid The Penalty All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. ~ Isaiah 53:6 (ESV) Christ Paid The Penalty He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. ~ 1 Peter 2:24 (ESV) Christ Calls You Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. ~ John 5:24 (ESV) Christ Calls You 31 And Jesus answered them, Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 32 I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance. ~ Luke 5:31 32 (ESV)

5 New Life In Christ 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, ~ 1 Peter 1:3 4 (ESV) New Life In Christ Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. ~ 2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV) Not By Works 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. ~ Ephesians 2:8 9 (ESV) Not By Works he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, ~ Titus 3:5 (ESV) Your Response 12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. ~ John 1:12 13 (ESV) Your Response 25 Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, 26 and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this? ~ John 11:25 26 (ESV) Call To Repentance 30 The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, 31 because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead. ~ Acts 17:30 31 (ESV) Call To Repentance 1 Working together with him, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain. 2 For he says, In a favorable time I listened to you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you.
