You have told them clearly, God Loves you and sent His Son the Lord
Jesus to suffer and die for your sins, paid your debt in full, was
buried, rose again and was seen by hundreds of people. They have
assured you they "understand" this and have prayed with you to receive
the Lord Jesus as their personal Savior. Now here is the way to help
them have assurance they are saved.
Would you be sure if God told you?
God said, "These thing I have written unto you that you may KNOW that
you have everlasting life" 1 John 5:13. Suppose God said, "You have
everlasting life" would you be sure you are saved?" I have done this
hundreds of times and everyone said, "Yes". Listen to what God said,
"He that believes on the Son has everlasting life" He did not say
"might have everlasting life" or "feel like he has everlasting life"
but HAS everlasting life. Do you believe the Lord Jesus as your
Savior? God said, "He that believes on the Son as his Savior, HAS
everlasting life." According to what God said, Do you have everlasting
life? VERY, VERY seldom has anyone said, "I don't know" or "I don't
feel any different." Most say, "Yes, I do." I then ask how do you know
and they almost always answer "Because God said so". That is saving
faith!
Any doubts?
If they have any doubts, go back over and give them the gospel, that
Christ died for their sins, paid their debt in full, was buried, rose
again and was seen by hundreds of people. The whole issue is, "Did the
Lord Jesus pay your debt of sin or didn't He?" Most will answer, "Why
Yes, He did." And God will give them assurance they are saved.
What about follow up? Be sure you read the next email. There is a
special promise about that.
"What you do today will outlive you and last for eternity!" WOW
Well Glory! "The work you are doing in the kingdom of our Lord Jesus
is good, continue doing it, do not give up." From one of you. THANKS.
