The purpose of this lesson is to familiarize the witness with
scriptures that demonstrate how Christ and his disciples found
opportunities to present God’s plan of salvation. In the passage of
scripture under consideration, Christ responded to a statement that
corrected one of the most common misconceptions about how anyone can
receive salvation. Christ addressed this confusion by stating that no
works of righteousness would lead to a person’s salvation, but a
person can only receive salvation by believing on Jesus Christ. Read
the passage of scripture referred to below, make observations about what
has been read, and answer the set of questions. Each day of the
following week, the witness is asked to practice with another Christian,
turning their conversation into a presentation of some, or all the
gospel, and to keep a record of this experience.
