Basic Evangelism

  • To enter into the Kingdom of God we need a glorious body

How we can get a glorious body?

By faith and works we can get our glorious body:

- By Works

  • Our good works build our glorious body and without a glorious body we cannot enter into the kingdom of God. This glorious body will be our reward for good works.

Philippians 3:21 ERV
He will change our humble bodies and make them like his own glorious body. Christ can do this by his power, with which he is able to rule everything.

  • “Pure white linen dress” is a glorious body which God will give us at the end of this world, this “pure white linen dress” will be our reward for our good works and without wearing this dress we cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Revelation 19:7-8 NLT
Let us be glad and rejoice, and let us give honor to him. For the time has come for the wedding feast of the Lamb, and his bride has prepared herself. [8] She has been given the finest of pure white linen to wear.” For the fine linen represents the good deeds of God’s holy people.

  • Matthew 22:1-14 is the parable of Jesus, a man entering in the wedding ceremony without wedding garments. And this parable is the true event that will happen after the age of this world, which we can see in the book of Revelation 19:7-9.

No one is perfect in doing good

Romans 3:23 NKJV
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Jeremiah 13:23 NKJV
Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard its spots? Then may you also do good who are accustomed to do evil.

Ecclesiastes 7:20 NKJV
For there is not a just man on earth who does good And does not sin.

God Himself will make us perfect

The word “not perfect” means someone is 40%, 50% or 70% and he is not 100%, so he is not perfect.. Zero people cannot be “not perfect”, in what they can be perfect? Because they are zero. In the same way we are not perfect in doing good, we are maybe 30%, 60% or 80% in doing good but God will make us perfect. It means it is very important for us to do good works to have some percentage so that God makes us perfect, so that we can get a glorious body.

Hebrews 10:14 NKJV
For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. 

1 Thessalonians 5:23 NKJV
Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

- By Faith

  • By faith we receive the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit gives life to our glorious body. As our spirit gives life to our physical body

Galatians 3:2 NKJV
This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

John 6:63 NKJV
It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.

  • This eternal life is the free gift of God by faith in Jesus Christ

Ephesians 2:8-9 NKJV
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, [9] not of works, lest anyone should boast.

What Faith should we have for eternal life

  • We should believe that, Jesus died on the cross, buried and rose again for our sins

Romans 3:25 NKJV
whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed,

Romans 10:9 NKJV
that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

  • Keep faith that Jesus paid the price for our sins and bought us

Colossians 1:14 ERV
The Son paid the price to make us free. In him we have forgiveness of our sins.

1 Peter 1:18-19 GNT
For you know what was paid to set you free from the worthless manner of life handed down by your ancestors. It was not something that can be destroyed, such as silver or gold; [19] it was the costly sacrifice of Christ, who was like a lamb without defect or flaw.

Revelation 5:9 TPT
And they were all singing this new song of praise to the Lamb: “Because you were slaughtered for us, you are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals. Your blood was the price paid to redeem us. You purchased us to bring us to God out of every tribe, language, people group, and nation.

Conclusion:

  • Practice is required
  • Perfection is not required

By faith: we have eternal life
By good works: we have a glorious body

Be A Partner To Harvest In The Kingdom Of God

We are working hard to reach the unreached in the remote areas of Pakistan with the life-transforming message of Jesus Christ. Many communities in these distant regions have little or no access to the Gospel, and our mission is to bring the light of God’s Word where it has never been heard before.
