Here are just five excuses lost people make for not comming to christ. can you think of anymore and Scripture to show them to clear the matter?
"I can't live it" 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Point out to the person that they are not saved by living it, but believing it. They will be able to live it better after they are saved. 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. " I'm already a church member" 2:47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. Point out that only those who are saved should join churches. No one should join a church until they are saved.
" I'm not so bad." 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: Emphasize the fact that it is not how bad a person is which sends him to hell, but all are sinners and under the curse of death.
" I am living a pretty good life." 8:46 If they sin against thee, (for [there is] no man that sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near; Remind the person that there is no one that does'nt sin. Everybody is a sinner, and everybody must be saved in order to go to Heaven.
" I am to sinful." 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. You must show them that the love of Jesus Christ is offered to all no matter how sinful, and that he saves everyone who believes in him.
