SOME SCRIPTURE “TOOLS” FOR WITNESSING If you are a newer Christian, this might be for you. Every Christian should be familiar with a good many verses of Scripture that deal with sin and salvation, and he should be able to use these verses responsibly and convincingly. Most of these you should be able to quote from memory to anyone at anytime, while others you should at least be able to find in the Bible to show someone...THE ROMANS ROAD Romans 3:10: “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:” Romans 3:23: “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Romans 5:12: “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” Romans 5:8: “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 6:23: “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 10:13: ”For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:9-10: “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”.. BELIEVING John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 5:24: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” Acts 16:31: “And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” John 1:12: ”But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:” John 11:25-26: “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.

WORKS CANNOT SAVE Romans 4:5: “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” Ephesians 2:8-9: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” Titus 3:5: “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;” Romans 11:6: “And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.” Galatians 2:16: “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.”. . REPENTANCE Luke 13:3: “I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” Acts 17:30: “And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:” II Peter 3:9: “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” Mark 6:12: “And they went out, and preached that men should repent.”. . HELL Luke 16:23: “And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.” Mark 9:44: “Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.” Matthew 25:41: “Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:” Revelation 20:15: “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” Matthew 13:42: “And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”. . ETERNAL SECURITY Ephesians 4:30: “And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.” John 10:28-29: “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.” Philippians 1:6: “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:”. John 6:37: “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” Romans 8:38-39: “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”. . THE BLOOD OF CHRIST Revelation 1:5: “And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,” Revelation 5:9: “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;” Colossians 1:14: “In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:” Romans 3:25: “Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;” Hebrews 9:14: “How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?”..THE FIVE FACTS OF LIFE In closing, always remember that there are five basic truths that a sinner needs to realize, and the Scripture already presented can be used to get these truths across. No matter how you do it, make sure the following facts are well understood: 1. You are a lost sinner.2. You will die a lost sinner.3. You will be judged a lost sinner.4.
