    Study Notes

    Making the Decision: Sin and its Penalty

    • The fifth stage in witnessing involves helping someone make a decision about Christ.
    • Four facts the unbeliever needs to understand
      • They are sinners
      • They must pay for their sins
      • Christ already paid the price for their sins
      • They must repent, trusting Christ by faith for salvation
    • The lesson focuses on the first two points: sinfulness and the need to pay for it (consequences).
    • A person may already realize their sinfulness through honest self-reflection or a witness of someone's life.
    • Witnesses should show the true character of God.
    • A person should understand all sin is an offense against God.
    • The rich young ruler example shows a person who followed the law outwardly but missed the spirit of it, demonstrating they're not truly following God
    • The goal is to show someone through scripture they are a sinner needing salvation, not to keep the law to be saved.
    • Key commandments should be referenced to further illustrate sin and responsibility.
    • Three suggestions for explaining verses: make the verses clear and simple, make them personal, and make sure the person understands before moving on.
    • The question should be asked, "What difference does it make you've sinned?"
    • The issue of sin is not just physical but includes spiritual death.
    • God's holiness and perfect demands are significant characteristics to understand.
    • Further verses related to understanding sin include Romans 6:23, Ezekiel 18:4, Luke 16:23, and Revelation 20:15. These further illuminate the concept of spiritual death and eternal consequences of sin, but not for believers.

    • Questions related to Scripture verses are listed.
