Selling Salvation...

As a young boy of around five (5) years old or so a vacuum cleaner salesman came to our home and sold my Mom a vacuum it was a Filter Queen I think. Anyway he was very entertaining and I remember saying to myself that it was something I wanted to do when I got bigger. The technique he used was very simple and what every good salesman does by instinct. Its called the RCCR principle and it works like this;

1. He Related to my Mom by commenting how clean and nice her home was and said something nice about us kids.

2. He Created an opportunity within the relating monologue to talk about her home and its so-called cleanliness thereby Creating an opportunity to talk about his product.

3. He Convicted her by making his machine pull unbelievable amounts of dirt from her carpets and furniture.

4. He Revealed how she could own this fabulous piece of machinery for less than pennies per day.

Needless to say she bought the vacuum, but I also bought the fact that I wanted to be a salesman who sold vacuums. Something I did for close to twelve (12) years of my life which spanned several models such as; Electrolux, Kirby, Filter Queen and Water-Matic. I am still a salesman today, the only difference is I create products and opportunity for myself and I use the same principles when I evangelize let me show you how it works. So does Ray comfort from Living Waters

1. Relate: We can relate to others by the simple fact that we are all sinners and fall short of the glory of God. If you say that becoming a Christian removes the possibility of sin from your life you are a liar. Consider Romans 3:9-20

2. Create: So by relating to them as equals not one that is better or thinks he/she is better but an equal. You create an opportunity to talk of Gods grace Ephesians 2:8-9 and the sacrifice of Christ John 3:16

3. Convict: But before they believe you need to convict them of their sin if they don’t think they need God your chances of evangelizing them are zero. The law is meant to convict in order to use the law you need to know it Exodus 20

The Ten Commandments

I. 'You shall have no other gods before Me.'

II. 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.'

III. 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.'

IV. 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.'

V. 'Honor your father and your mother.'

VI. 'You shall not murder.'

VII. 'You shall not commit adultery.'

VIII. 'You shall not steal.'

IX. 'You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.'

X. 'You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.'

Almost everyone has told a lie, stolen, not put God first in their lives. Jesus says in Matthew 5 that if any is angry it is the same as murder and that if any look at a woman with lust he has committed adultery.

4. Reveal: God sent his son Jesus John 3:16 to take away the sin of the world and become sin. All are welcome Matthew 20 and all fall short of the glory of God in other words we are all sinners. David prayed this prayer in contrition to God for forgiveness of his sins let it become yours Psalm 51

Congratulations you have successfully sold the gospel of Christ just like a professional salesperson would sell his/her product to whomever and helped create another believer. If you don't consider yourself a salesperson but want to reach people with the gospel of Christ then you need to depend on the Holy Spirit for courage to do it.

Here are a multitude of ways to evangelize to others called the ABC`s of Evangelism

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

The Greatest Commandment…

In the beginning God chose us before we were created, but chose us for what?

Have you ever known something without having learned it like perhaps glimpsing the very depths of understanding the mathematical equation that makes up our world the planet Earth? Or how about the raising of a child most of us do the best stuff instinctively motivated by our love. I remember when my first child came into the world and how it changed me inside. I never knew that I could love another as much as that.

So, just as I discovered the love for another through the birth of my first child I discover more about myself each day. The journey of life is much like jumping from an airplane. Many things we do are scary but once they are done, they become old hat. Sin is like that if we deny the wrongs we do, they become easier each time (old hat). But some might ask, what is sin?

Sin is not following the Law of the Ten Commandments.

1. “You shall have no other gods before Me”
2. “You shall not make for yourself any idols
3. “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain”
4. “Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy”
5. “Honor your Father and your Mother
6. “You shall not murder”
7. “You shall not commit adultery”
8. “You shall not steal”
9. “You shall not lie”
10. “You shall not covet”

In my life I broke all the laws for in transgressing one we break them all. When I was a young boy I stole and I remember the first time and how every part of my inner-being said don’t do it. But I did anyway. I then remember feeling the rush of getting away with it. After the candy was gone I felt unsatisfied and empty. Later in my adolescence I discovered women and all the pleasures of her touch and smell but afterward I felt empty like the act of love making was not enough to fulfill me. Empty again when will it stop? Then in young adulthood I discovered God, He convicted me of my sin (through the Law of the Ten Commandments) and helped me understand why I felt empty. The emptiness was the absence of love, but not our love but God’s love that fills you full and leaves you complete.

I prayed and He revealed himself to me as He will reveal Himself to any who humble themselves and call upon Him with a humble heart. Just like we do not know everything nor can you know anything unless you try. God is there for each of us ready to fill you to overflow with His love. A love that over delivers what we previously thought we knew about love. Our love is nothing compared to the overflow of Gods love in your life and its more than just a feeling.

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
