BIBLE STUDY

THE PLAN OF HOLDING BIBLE READINGS WAS A HEAVEN BORN

IDEA.

CS 141

PRESENT JESUSFirst we must take Jesus to the people and after that present the doctrines

BECAUSE JESUS IS THE CENTRE OF THE CHRISTIAN LIFE

THE POWER TO CONQUER AND ATTRACT PEOPLE BELONGS TO JESUS NOT TO THE DOCTRINES

WITHOUT JESUS THE DOCTRINES WON’T MAKE MUCH SENSE TO THE PEOPLE

IF PEOPLE ACCEPT JESUS FIRST, THEY WILL ACCEPT HIS LOVE, PARDON AND DOCTRINE

CONT’D

CHRIST HAS THE POWER TO STIR HEARTS

THE WONDERFUL LOVE OF CHRIST WILL MELT AND SUBDUE THE HEARTS

WHEN WE PRESENT THE CROSS FIRST, THE BARRIERS CRUMBLE AND ONLY THEN CAN WE PRESEN THE DOCTRINES

PRESENTING THE DOCTRINE1. THE PRESENTATION OF THE DOCTRINE

MUST BE IN A LOGICAL AND PROGRESSIVE WAY( PROB.4:18

2. WHEN THE INTERESTED PERSON HAS TO ASSIMILATE MANY NEW IDEAS AT ONCE, HE GETS CONFUSED

3. IT’S BETTER WHEN WE GO STEP BY STEP4. WE CAN ONLY GO TO A NEW DOCTRINE

WHEN WE ARE CERTAIN THAT THE PERSON HAS COMPLETELY UNDERSTOOD

RELATE EVERY DOCTRINE TO CHRIST

IT’S IMPORTANT TO RELATE EVERY DOCTRINE TO JESUS

SHOW THAT JESUS VALUED THE SABBATH AND KEPT IT

SINCE WE BELIEVE AND LOVE JESUS WE WILL ACCEPT THE DOCTRINE THAT HE VALUED

MAKE A CALL AT EVERY STUDY

WHEN THE PERSON UNDERSTANDS THE NEW DOCTRINE, WE MUST MAKE A CALL

DO NOT WAIT TO THE END OF THE STUDIES TO ASK

THE LITTLE DECISIONS CONDUCT THE INTERESTED PERSON TO MAKE BIGGER DECISIONS

HOW TO MAKE A CALL

ASK IF THEY UNDERSTAND IF HE BELIEVES THAT IS GOD’S

PLAN FOR HIS LIFEASK HIM TO TRUST IN GOD’S

POWER IF ANSWER IS YES, PRAY WITH

HIM / HER THANKING GOD
