Use the 10 Commandments to bring conviction to the consciences of the lost and backslidden. THAT’s exactly how New Testament saints are instructed to use the Law.

Do you have the 10 Commandments memorized? Do it now.

GOSPEL/KINGDOM TRUTH:

People must become convicted of their sin before they are broken and shown the need to repent. This truth is essential to successful ministering. Gal 3:24; 1 Tim 1:7-10; Ps 19:7 … You cannot and will never talk anyone into being saved. You don’t have that power. God does. And He instructs us to give them the divine sword which cuts straight into the consciences of men, convicting and drawing them.

“The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.” Psalms 19:7

Notice, not your words or mine but rather “The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul.” Memorize this verse and the 10 Commandments. THAT’s when you will be armed and dangerous!

Today we have many ideas and notions concerning the important calling to evangelize the lost. Much of it is based upon mere human reason as an approach. Remember, we are but dust and that God knows what people, sinners need. And He told us what they need and how to engage them. Giving them the law, perhaps at times incorporating it conversationally, speaking it with care, lovingly, is the stated divine prescription.

The law convicts the sinner that he is just that – a sinner separated from his Maker, “alienated from the life of God.” (Ephesians 4:18) Then comes the Good News, the grace, the cross.

The law of God convicts. The Word of God rejoices the heart and enlightens the eyes.

“The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. 8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.” Psalms 19:7-8

The law of God convicts sinners and brings them to Christ.

“Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.” Galatians 3:24

BIBLICAL EVANGELISM: When people realize they are lost through the law, by being convicted of their sin against God, they sense the separation and impending judgment. At this point, by divine design, they will be more readily accepting of being saved. The law clearly conveys, exposes our sin, convicts the conscience of the guilt of sin and opens the door wide for them to be saved. Law must precede grace. Moses (the law) preceded Jesus (grace) (John 1:17). The sinner must be convicted by the law that he’s a sinner before he realizes his need to receive Christ! (Galatians 3:24; 1 Timothy 1:8-11)

The law convicts deeply. Let the law of God do its work. It’s futility (without the law) to attempt to convince a sinner of his sin and therefore his need to be saved, forgiven. God’s law does this!

“And of some have compassion, making a difference: 23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.” Jude 22-23

The ultimate divine goal is to convict and to save the soul. This is why we must obey God by preaching HIS WORDS – law to convict and gospel to save (Romans 1:16; Psalms 19:7, etc.).

“But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; 9 Knowing this, that the law is NOT made for a righteous man, but (it is made) for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; 11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.” 1 Timothy 1:8-11

Notice closely…. the law IS made for sinners…. to convict them of their sin so they may come to Christ!

“The law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners…” 1 Timothy 1:9

Presenting the Word: First, employ the law to cut, to convict, and to expose how wicked the sinner is and deserving of nothing but damnation, THEN the Gospel of Jesus’ saving grace to make the sinner whole. Amen!

Let’s look at it again and you may wish to memorize this truth:

“Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.” Galatians 3:24

The sharp edge of the law convicts the sinner unto repentance.

NO one will BE saved before becoming greatly convicted of their sin. give them the Law then they will desire Christ (Galatians 3:24; 1 Timothy 1:9-11). The law convicts and brings them to Christ – it serves God’s purpose. We don’t lead them to Christ so much as God’s law convicts and leaves them feeling the reality of their alienation from God – and then they will be prepared to hear the saving Gospel of Christ. This is the New Testament way of winning souls to Jesus.

Jesus only saves those who truly repent and not those who just say a prayer! In order for one to repent, he must receive the Law, be convicted, repent and believe on the LORD Jesus Christ. Many have said a prayer but didn’t repent. The fact that their life is not completely changed by Christ proves they didn’t repent. The Law of God (the Ten Commandments) when used correctly and verbatim, convicts the sinner and leads him to repentance.

Gary Skinner writes: “God’s 10 Commandments should be memorized by every believer.”

God spoke for Himself when He told us that His law convicts the lost sinner and brings him to Christ (Galatians 3:24). “According to the glorious gospel” the LORD told us that His law is made, not for the saved but rather “for the lawless.” ….

“Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; 11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.” 1 Timothy 1:9-11

DO you know and do you access the 10 Commandments in God’s Word – to convict sinners?

What Bible chapter are the 10 Commandments found in? Exodus 20

10 Commandment Evangelism in Action: Derek’s Dilemma and Deliverance!

Today we have several well-known apologists who often appear before secular crowds at universities, king of like the apostle Paul as he spoke with the Athenians and those on Mars’ Hill.

What’s most important and the biblical model for evangelism, is to give the lost the law of God (10 Commandments), to convict them which in turn will bring them to Christ (Romans 7:12; Galatians 3:24; 1 Timothy 1:7-10). Placating lost souls with scientific arguments in defense of the faith seems to seldom if ever result in a lost sinner coming to the Savior in repentance. It is the law of God that pierces directly into the consciences of men and converts sinners to Christ (Psalms 19:7). When Paul spoke with the secularists of his day on Mars’ Hill he spoke to them of their idolatry (a sin violating the first 2 of the 10 Commandments), called them to repentance, and warned them that Judgment Day was coming (Acts 17:22-34).

Social media is full of people telling sinners the benefits of salvation, before they are saved, instead of obeying God and preaching the essentials of the law and call to repentance to convict them of that sin. In order for the sinner to experience the blessings of Christ’s salvation, they must be convicted of their sin, their separation from God. This is done by giving them the law, the 10 Commandments.

Give sinners the LAW to convict them of sin and therefore their separation from God. That is Bible evangelism (Galatians 3:24; 1 Timothy 1:7-11). Then preach the Gospel (Mark 16:15). No one can be talked into being saved. They must be preached into the kingdom, into being saved. It doesn’t matter how badly you want them to be saved, they will not be saved unless someone gives them the law to convict them – to expose their sin to them, bringing conviction and repentance. In being crucified with Christ, your personal sentiments will be mortified out of the way.

God begs no one. We all need Him. He doesn’t need us.

The law convicts the heart of sin and causes people to run to the LORD for the forgiveness He alone can give.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

Exodus 20

“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” v3
“Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:” v4
“Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.” v7
“Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.” v8
“Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.” v12
“Thou shalt not kill.” v13
“Thou shalt not commit adultery.” v14
“Thou shalt not steal.” v15
“Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.” v16
“Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.” v17

After copying and pasting the Ten Commandments above, recently I sent the following to a sinner:

How does what you are saying to deflect and mock Christians and the LORD change your own personal accountability to your Maker who is the Judge of your eternal soul? We have all sinned against Him…. you included …. He sees the lies you’ve told, the people you’ve hated, the lust of the heart, the use of His holy name in vain, having other gods before Him (idolatry)…. why not settle out of court? Why not surrender in an honest heart and admit to Him what He already knows…. all of your sin? (Exodus 20)

Always, always, always use the Law to bring conviction of sin with sinners. That is the Bible, the New Testament way.

“ACCORDING TO THE GLORIOUS GOSPEL” we are to teach New Testament believers to use the law to bring conviction to lost souls (Psalms 19:7; Galatians 3:24; 1 Timothy 1:11). In order to be “meet (fit) for the master’s use,” one should know those 10 commandments in order to use them when evangelizing (2 Timothy 2:21).

Do you have the 10 Commandments memorized in order to help sinners be convicted of their sin and be saved?

Regrettably, the essential doctrine of repentance is a lost doctrine of the modern church and without it, one cannot possibly be born again, regenerated (Luke 13:3; John 3:3, 7; Titus 3:5-7). The sinner must first become convicted by the Law to be moved by the Holy Spirit to repent.

The New Testament way of evangelizing begins with putting the law of God, the 10 Commandments, in the hearts of sinners (1 Timothy 1:8-11).

New Testament believers are to use the law, the 10 commandments…. dropping them in people’s hearts and talking with them about how sinful we all are and in need of the Savior’s forgiveness and quoting the commandment and asking them specifically if they’ve committed that sin…. Watch God convict!

The law of God convicts the sinner that he’s sinned against a Holy God. The believer can assist in this process by asking them the questions of breaking His holy law, using the 10 Commandments. This is specifically according to the Gospel. Read 1 Timothy 1:7-10.

Eunice Tabuzo writes:

“The Gospel is only good news to those who understand the bad news about sin. By comparing the Law (God’s ten commandments), with our lives, we will realize by the power of the Holy Spirit that it is impossible for any of us to perfectly keep the Law. It becomes clear that all people have sinned and therefore, we are all worthy of condemnation; being guilty in the sight of God, and that we are all lawbreakers in need of forgiveness.

The good news is that God has provided forgiveness in the Person and work of Jesus. By His perfect life, death, burial and resurrection, Jesus accomplished all that God’s law requires of us in order to attain righteousness and full payment for our disobedience. Jesus Christ gave Himself to pay for our sins and provide the way of salvation—freedom from the condemnation we deserve.

God requires complete obedience. Jesus provides complete salvation for the disobedient who confess their sin before Him, repent of their transgressions, of their rebellion, and trust in Him as their Savior and Lord. Every repenting sinner who turns away from sin and trusts Jesus will be saved from sin.

What God requires in His Law He provides in His Gospel. That is the message of the Bible and it is what everyone needs to hear and believe to be saved.

So, Christians, when we share the Gospel, we need to declare the Law and the Gospel, and pray for the Spirit to bless the hearer to reveal Christ to them and to establish them in His way. God’s Truth is a powerful instrument in the hands of His Spirit. By the Spirit, may God’s truth bring conviction through His commandments and salvation through His Son.

Blessed be the only true God who has poured out His great mercy to bring us unto salvation through His Son Jesus Christ! To Him alone be the glory forever, amen!”

Below is an exciting real life example of the law being used to bring a sinner to Christ.

YOUR PRAYER: Holy Father, prepare me, Your vessel, to be mightily used of Thee, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Are You a Good Person? Take this Test to See

Ready to test how good you are? God instructs each of us to take personal account, personal responsibility for our own life – which is the only life we shall give account to Him for when we stand before Him to be judged.

Hell’s Menu

What’s being Served Up in the Domain of the Damned?

What’s going on below us, in the bowels of the earth?

The Bible’s Vivid Description of the Domain of the Damned

Violent flames rage like endless waves that roar in a fierce ocean tossed to and fro by hurricane winds. Deafening voices shriek, hopelessly tormented in the turbulent fire that dominates their defenseless souls. One million years have passed and yet there is not a trace of relief from the horrifying torment that has enveloped their helpless souls. Vivid memories of their earthly life, when they had precious opportunity to escape this horrible fate, torment their bitter and remorseful beings. Welcome to the world of departed souls who died after refusing to apply the only cure to their deadly curse of sin. Behind the thin veil of life on earth lies a real world – a forever world. Welcome to a profile of the after life.

Details about hell revealed in God’s Word, the Bible:

A place of complete consciousness (all feelings)…..Lk. 16:25
Torment with fire and brimstone…………………………Rev. 14:10
Weeping and gnashing of teeth……………………….…..Matt. 8:12
A place of eternal remorse (devastating regret)…..Luke 16:25
A place of torments…………………………………………..…Luke 16:23
No rest day or night forever (eternal misery)……….Rev. 14:11
A furnace of fire with wailing…………………………..….Matt. 13:42
A place of everlasting burnings…………….…………..Isaiah 33:14
Hell will be cast into the lake (ocean) of fire ..…Rev. 20:11-15
Unquenchable fire (ferocious flames)………..…….……Mark 9:45
Outer darkness (blinding loneliness)………………….Matt. 22:13
No 2nd chance to escape (utter hopelessness)……Luke 16:26
A place of sorrows (seething remorse and despair)….Ps. 18:5
A place of everlasting destruction……………………..2 Thess. 1:9

The LORD Jesus told us that this place described above was “prepared for the devil and his angels.” (Matthew 25:41) Ignoring this truth is not going to make this place go away. Dealing with this honestly is in your eternal best interest. If you are not born again, here is why you are going to spend eternity in the place described above. According to God’s Word, you have sinned against Him and He is “Holy, holy, holy.” (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8) Here’s a few of the ways you have sinned against your Creator:

CURSING, LYING, ADULTERY, LUST, HATRED, DRUNKENNESS, SLANDER, STRIFE, IDOLATRY, DISHONORING YOUR PARENTS, MURDEROUS THOUGHTS TOWARDS OTHERS, STEALING, FORNICATION, UNFORGIVENESS, TAKING GOD’S NAME IN VAIN

GOD misses nothing, no-thing. He sees it all (Psalm 33:13-14; Proverbs 15:3). He’s keeping perfect records on all people, their thoughts, intentions, motives, acts, and deeds. It’s all on record, from every angle. The record, the tapes are going to be played in your Supreme Court of the Universe trial. It’s ALL on record. No one escapes. No one is getting away with anything. It may appear that way for now but be sure that no deed, thought, motive, or action is unseen, unknown by the Almighty whose earth we all now dwell in (Psalms 24:1). God sees all sin.

“be sure your sin will find you out.” Numbers 32:23

Judgment Before the Great White Throne

The books your Maker is keeping, the record, will be opened in the Supreme Court of the Universe for each and every person.

NO surfing in this lake …

“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:11-15

NEVER EVER DEFINE HELL AS ANYTHING EXCEPT EXACTLY HOW GOD DEFINES IT IN HIS WORD. PERIOD! THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS “HELL ON EARTH” OR ANY SUCH FABLE. CEASE TAKING THE NAME OF THE LORD IN VAIN BY CEASING TO WALK AFTER, AGREE WITH, OR SPEAK ANYTHING ABOUT ANYTHING (INCLUDING HELL) EXCEPT IT BE IN GOD’S WORDS – IN HIS HOLY, WRITTEN WORD. “WHAT SAITH THE SCRIPTURES?” – “SHUN PROFANE AND VAIN BABBLINGS … STUDY TO SHEW THYSELF APPROVED UNTO GOD A WORKMAN THAT NEEDETH NOT TO BE ASHAMED, RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH.” (2 TIMOTHY 2:15-16) ALSO, ANY SUPPOSED “CHRISTIAN” LEADER WHO REFUSES TO PREACH ON HELL REGULARLY, IS A WOLF! PERIOD.

“Come unto me” says Jesus (Matthew 11:28-30) .

If you wish to miss eternity in this horrid place called hell, which will later be cast into the lake of fire, it’s time to make peace with your Maker and Judge. Find out more here at Making Peace with God.

Is Hell Forever or Temporal? [podcast]

The original Gospel prominently includes the judgment of hell coming to every person who dies on sin (Mark 9:43-49, etc.).

Departing from Hell Beneath

“The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.” Proverbs 15:24 Notice in this Bible verse it is assumed that hell is beneath and is the default destination that each individual must choose to escape – to “depart from” by making the decision to repent and be forgiven of their sins. Read it again. What is your “way of life”? How you live here is how you’ll be in eternity. “He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is […]

The FORGOTTEN Sins of Sodom [podcast]

What were the Real and Root Sins of Sodom?

Explosive!
DO YOU KNOW WHAT SINS THE BIBLE CITES OF THE PEOPLE OF SODOM WHICH CAUSED DIVINE JUDGMENT TO FALL ON THEM? THIS LIST OF SINS MIGHT SHOCK YOU.

EXPOSING THE GATEWAY SINS TO SODOM’S DESTRUCTION

Sodom’s sins were pride, gluttony, and laziness, while the poor and needy suffered outside her door.

According to Romans 1 it seems that sexual deviance, namely homosexuality, is the sin, the final manifestation of evil before destruction transpires. The LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for this sin and others and will or is destroying America for rejecting Him (Matthew 10:26-28). WHAT were the specific sins of Sodom and Gomorrah that preceded the ultimate “abomination” of homosexuality? (Leviticus 18:22) Does the Bible reveal these sins? Yes!

Homosexuality always has been and always will be an “abomination” in the eyes of our Holy God (Leviticus 18:22). Repent now and follow Jesus.

DID GOD LIST SODOM’S SINS? WHAT WERE THEY?
THIS SHOCKING LIST OF SINS AND MESSAGE WILL KEEP YOU OUT OF HELL!

Little known sins that led up to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Check this out.

“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9

Sodomy/homosexuality is usually the only sin attributed to the sins of Sodom and yet the Bible lists several sins that came before the ultimate turning over to homosexuality and further judgment (hell). See also Romans 1 and Ezekiel 16:49-51.

Jesus used this very example of Sodom to warn all under New Testament:

“Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. 31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. 32 Remember Lot’s wife. 33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.” Luke 17:28-33

Impending Judgment for Sin

In Ezekiel 16 we read of the judgment coming on the LORD’s people for their sins.

The very sins committed by the people of Sodom before God destroyed that city, were being committed by the LORD’s professing people in Ezekiel’s day, and are today being committed by those claiming to know the LORD in our day.

“Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. 50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good. 51 Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou hast done.” Ezekiel 16:49-51

This list of sins in the above passage begins with these 3:

PFA = Pride, Fulness of Bread, and Abundance of idleness.

The Sins of Sodom:

Sins Jerusalem cited for in Ezekiel 16:49-51:

Pride (arrogance),
Fulness of Bread (gluttony, hoarding),
Abundance of Idleness (idle, lazy),
did not help those in need due to preoccupation with self-worship (not generous in spreading God’s wealth to His people and work)
haughty
committed abomination (fornication)

In the bulleted sins listed above from this revealing Ezekiel 16 passage, did you notice the progression?

Though it culminated in sodomy, yet not one sex sin is even specifically mentioned in this list of Sodom’s sins in Ezekiel 16. Does this not align perfectly with the judgment we see in Romans 1, how “when they knew God, they glorified him not as God” and were unthankful, further enriching themselves while they ignored others?

“Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful (they were ungrateful); but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.” Romans 1:21

A fresh reading of Romans 1 reveals the root sins that preceded the sexual sins which immediately go before divine judgment. See Romans 1:18-32.

The sins that darken the hearts of those who once “knew God” and lead to the ultimate abomination of sodomy/homosexuality are pride, gluttony, idleness, and refusing to be generous givers to believers in need, etc.

Let’s Look Again at the Root, the Gateway Sins of the People of Sodom and Gomorrah:

PFA listed in Ezekiel 16:49-51:

Pride (arrogance),
Fulness of Bread (gluttony),
Abundance of Idleness (idle, lazy),
Like the fake religionists priest and Levite of Jesus’ Good Samaritan teaching, they did not help those in need due to preoccupation with self-worship (not generous in spreading God’s wealth to His people and work)

“And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged (weighed down) with surfeiting (gluttony), and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare (trap) shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.” Luke 21:34-36

“There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.” Proverbs 13:7

Spiritual “Leanness”

“And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.” Psalms 106:15

“And this is exactly why there is a famine in the land. A famine ‘of hearing the words of the Lord’. Amos 8:11-13. This is the consequence of neglecting the Word of God. This famine is sent by God. To serve judgment because they have disregarded His Word and so their longings remain unsatisfied. It is a spiritual starvation, an emptiness. This is caused by disobedience and complacency. They shall ‘faint for thirst’. This implies an intense suffering. God has withdrawn His Word. As we see in these last days. People literally have contempt for God’s word. When you give them the pure unadulterated words of the Lord it angers them. So God will allow them to suffer an intense hunger because of their refusal of His words. This is why they are so prone to believe false prophets. Because they are weak and not ‘nourished up in the words of faith and good doctrine, whereunto thou has attained’ 1 Timothy 4:6” Karen Cochran

It’s an “abomination” to Him, a perversion of His plan, a cheap substitute, and an attack against Him. Homosexuality, sodomy, lesbianism is NOT under grace – Never has been, never will be.
