A friend of mine posted this video to his blog as a challenge to a couple commenters on his blog to watch this video and post how they would respond in this or any similar situation...
So I thought on it and decided I would like to put this on my blog as a question/ challenge not to anyone specifically but to anyone who would like to rise to the challenge. We live in a day where, sadly, the Gospel in many situations is reduced to something trite. "Get saved and God will make your life wonderful." Phrases like that. Phrases that just fail to give the full Gospel (as depicted in Scripture) in all its wonder and beauty.
But a message like "God has a wonderful plan for your life!", would hardly connect and do anything meaningful for a person in a terminal situation... so the challenge.
1.) Watch the video
2.) Put yourself in the woman's shoes and give your response to this man who is more or less asking what he must do to be saved. What would you say? Please be thorough as possible and please back up all points with Scripture.
Please don't shy away from this challenge. Scripture emphatically commands us to be ready to give a reason for the hope that is within us (1 Peter 3:15)... to preach the Word in season and out of season (2 Timothy 4:2). If you aren't sure how to go about sharing the Gospel Biblically then please email me and I would be more than happy to point you to what Scripture says about it.
