Rescue the Perishing: Personal Work Made Easy

*3rd. WHAT to Tell Them*.
Tell them Jesus loves them. Everybody likes to hear good news.
FOR God so loved the world, (me) that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whosoever *believeth in Him* should not perish, but have
*everlasting life*.
_John 3:16._
TELL them that, for the gospel means nothing less. Who ever ran away
from glad tidings or messages of great joy?
Tell them the whole Gospel, "To-wit, that God was in Christ reconciling
the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and
hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation . . . as though God
did beseech you by us; I pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to
God.”
_II Corinthians 5:19-20._
Personal Work.
*HINTS and SUGGESTIONS.*
WORKER’S life text: II Timothy 2:15.
Whatever your feeling of timidity in doing personal work, do not be
deterred by fear that you may give offense. Be *natural* and *courteous*
in asking the simple question as to personal salvation.
As far as possible converse only with *persons of your own age* or
younger, of *your own sex* and walk in life.
Always deal with the inquirer *alone* if you can and in quiet; if some
one intrudes, diverting his attention, kindly tell the intruder *to be
silent or withdraw*.
After a few words *to ascertain the state* of mind of the inquirer,
present the truth you think he needs from the Bible or this little book.
Depend not on your experience or ability to apply the *Word; “It is the
Spirit* that quickeneth.”
Do not be in a hurry, *take time to be thorough*; some times in our
eagerness to see souls saved, we do not make the way plain.
*Let the Holy Spirit Himself show him* that when he has *believed on the
Lord Jesus Christ* he is at once saved.
If persons refuse, and seem to repulse you, *do not be dismayed* or
think that you have made a mistake; God often uses such refusals to
convict of sin and lead to repentance.
If a person baffles you with difficult questions, hand him over *to a
more experienced worker*.
Never advise an inquirer to go home and read his Bible, or pray, or try
to do better; this is *losing the present opportunity* with no promise
of a future or better one.
Affectionately urge *immediate* decision. *Pray with the inquirer*.
Be cautious; that which is a help to one may not be to another,
therefore “*rightly divide the Word of Truth*” And hold them *to what
God says* and the acceptance of Christ.
Personal Work.
*Suggestive Scriptures.*
When you come to Christ, does He accept or reject you?
AND him that cometh to me; *I will in no wise cast out*.
_John 6:37._
If you confess your sin to Him, what does He say he does with them?
