Scripture is Key to Revealing the Truth of Christ

Hey Everybody,

When it comes to telling others about Jesus, Scriptures are the key to revealing the Truth of salvation. “If I share the Gospel with an unbeliever, it makes no sense at all,” shares Morel, author of Secret to an Open Door: Igniting a Passion for the Lost, “until God reveals Himself.” Christians who are familiar with the Gospel message often forget how incredulous it sounds to someone who is lost. The Bible explains, “The revelation of Your words brings light and gives understanding to the inexperienced” (Psalm 119:130). Salvation and hope in Jesus is a mystery that can only be revealed by the truth of God’s Word. It's not your words that will sear the stubborn soul and soften a hard heart--it's His!

“Scripture reveals the mystery, convicts the sin, and converts the soul,” Morel explains. “You can’t share the Gospel apart from the Word of God.”

So how can you get Scripture into an unbeliever’s hands?

• Invest in greeting cards that include Scripture verses. Send an encouraging note.
• Give Bibles as gifts.
• Start a neighborhood Bible study in your home.

Of course, Mom, your greatest mission field is under your feet. Are you getting the truths of Scripture into your children, investing in their eternal souls? A few of my favorite resources for helping you do that in your daily parenting are:
