EVAN 101 C06 10/26/2013 Methods of Evangelism Part ONE – The Four Spiritual Laws Summary of Method – The Four Spiritual Laws method is a simple way to start a conversation with someone and present a message in a systematic way. These four steps are to the point and use Scripture to convict, convince, and convert a non-believer to Jesus Christ. These four steps are: (1.) God loves you. Scriptures to look up in the Bible: John 3:16: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whosoever believes in him, shall not perish but have everlasting life.
In detail we will discuss the relationship between inspiration and inerrancy. And then, before concluding this paper we will discuss how the answers to these questions provide structure to how we as Christians should live our lives. To a Christian who has accepted God as their personal Lord and Savior the Bible has authority. The same should not be said for someone who hasn’t made that confession. As a Christian we have accepted that the Bible contains the true Word of God written by apostles who received divine inspiration to guide the recorded works.
While the entire passage is instructive for the message, the verses that focus on the nature of the Messiah are critical, for therein lies our hope for everlasting peace. So most of our attention will be given to the meanings of the name of the Son, showing how these descriptions fit perfectly the nature of our Lord Jesus Christ. In the first section of Isaiah 9 the prophet declares that in contrast to the dark age he is living in, there is coming an age when peace will reign. It will begin with the coming of the Messiah, the promised future king. So we call that period the Messianic Age.

Genesis may be the most known book in the bible to refer to when talking about the origin of life, but there are also several other scripture readings. In Psalm 89:11, credit is given to God for creating the heavens and earth saying, “you founded the world and all that is in it”(Psalm 89:11, NIV). The question of identity is wanting to know what set humans apart from animals. This is another question that should come fairly easy to Christians. In Genesis 1:27, God is in the process of creating man.
Old Testament Central to what is referred to in theological circles as “Missio Dei” or Mission of God is the idea that “God is one who initiates and sustains mission.” And from the beginning pages of the Bible, it is easy to see that God had a specific purpose in mind. Through the stories, we can see how God’s mission focuses on the redemption of mankind from the effects of sin. “He has been on mission throughout history to accomplish His purpose throughout the earth. Each time we see God in the Bible, He is acting in accordance with His purpose: to reveal Himself in order that His name would be glorified, that His Kingdom would be established and that some from every people would
Worldview A worldview is simply, how we perceive the world around us to make sense of our lives, give us understanding, and clears direction as to how we live our lives. It is the basis in which our characters, beliefs, morals, values, are founded and how we live our day to day lives. In the following examples I will show the reasons to what my worldview is and why I believe in the one true God. We must first understand how we got here; In Jeremiah 1:5 The Lord says before I formed you in the womb I knew you God already had me in mind before the creation of the world. What I would look like, the color of my eyes, the color of my hair, how tall I would be, he designed every part of my genetic makeup.
God also has standards for man regarding morality and/or ethics. He gave us the ability to choose, even knowing that we could choose to disregard His guidelines or Commandments. In Exodus 20:6 we are told how to please God. Though we may please God, in Ephesians 2:8-10, we see what we must ultimately do to atone for man’s fall from God. “How a Christian lives their life reveals their spiritual condition” (Weider & Gutierrez, 2011, p.65).
Educating yourself in the knowledge and the Fear of GOD is a biblical mandate. The Christian Education goals, I think would better the students entering the pre-k school level more so than an adult entering school, by this time the adult student should already have their beliefs and Fear of GOD. Because there is only one God and One Christ, there is only one Truth. The truth is the center and Criterion of Christian Education. Christian Education is a part of God’s purpose to put everything in Creation under the feet of Christ; it serves as part of His purpose to subdue people from all nations to the glory of God.
The Bible is the basis for many major Christian beliefs; it is used in the liturgy of Christianity; it is the basis for prayer and it provides the guidelines for the behaviour of Christians. It is particularly in the context of sacramental liturgy or worship that the Bible is viewed as as important and sacred, for it is here where Christians celebrate the Eucharist, Mass and Lordʼs Supper. The Bible teaches them about the nature of God and the ministry and teachings of Jesus. Through the Bible, the basis of Christian Belief is interpreted and accepted by the adherents. The Bible teaches and illustrates Christian key beliefs and ideas.
