GIVE IT A TRY!

Most people want to start conversations with all the passages they disagree with. Most of the time it’s the verses the world views as controversial in the Bible. God promises that He will teach people (John 14:26) and convict sin (John 16:8). Why not change things up and avoid starting with what God says about certain topics and start with who He is. He says what He says because of who He is and if someone could learn about all His wonderful attributes and start to experience who He is, those controversial verses won’t be so offensive or controversial anymore because the Spirit will help them understand why God says them. Here is an example conversation:
“What do you believe about (Insert topic)?”
“Well, I do believe God says something about it, but I don’t feel it’s fair to start with what He says unless you know who He is. Do you have time for me to start there first?”

Day 4- YOUR INHERITANCE – HEAVEN

“I believe I am going to heaven because I am a good person.”

Day 5- EXISTENCE OF HELL

“I believe there is a heaven but I do not believe there is a hell.”
