LESSON 5: THE PENALTY
Soul Winning Scripture Verses:
“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.” [Proverbs 11:30]
“And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” [Matthew 4:19]
If you have been doing your previous assignments, you should have:
1. Shared your testimony of how you got saved with another Christian, with an unsaved friend, family member, fellow student, or co-worker, and with a complete stranger.
2. Invited two people to church.
3. Memorize Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, and Romans 5:8.
4. Placed 7 Gospel tracts anonymously in public places [payphone, public restroom, etc.].
5. Placed 5 Gospel tracts anonymously in specific places [doors of homes, windshields of cars, etc.].
Staying Humble
We must always remember that we deserve Hell. We earned it by the sins that we have committed. If it was not for the mercy of God, Hell is where each and every one of us would go.
Verses To Use
You should have Romans 6:23 memorized. This is one of the best verses to use to help teach someone that there is a penalty for sin. Be sure to have your KJV Bible open while you are showing it to the person. With this verse memorized, you can even turn the Bible to face the other person rather than yourself. This will allow them to see that you are not misquoting it.
You may even want to pencil in the references to the following verses by Romans 6:23 so that you can turn to them quickly if the person needs more evidence. Fill the blanks for the missing parts of each verse:
· “The wicked shall be turned into , and all nations that forget God.” [Psalm 9:17]
· " and destruction are never …” [Proverbs 27:20]
· “…the soul that , it shall .” [Ezekiel 18:4]
· “Wherefore, as by one man entered into the world, and by sin; and so death pass upon all men, for that all have sinned:”” [Romans 5:12]
· “Know ye not that the shall not inherit the of ? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the of .” [1 Corinthians 6:9-10]
· “Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth : and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth .” [James 1:15]
· “And death and were cast into the of . This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” [Revelation 20:14-15]
· “But the fearful, and the unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and sleepermongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the which burneth with and : which is the second death.” [Revelation 21:8]
Most of the time you will not ever need to use these. Most people will admit that Romans 6:23 is true. They will usually admit that they realize that there is a penalty from God for our sin. This is what is needed.
Why is it so important to teach someone that is a penalty? There can be no true and Biblical repentance until the person comes to the realization that he or she deserves Hell. And they cannot come to this realization until someone takes the time to show him or her from the Bible this simple truth. This is the first step in that process and the first step toward that person trusting Christ as Savior.
