Do you sometimes find it difficult to believe that you have total forgiveness for your sins in Jesus Christ? Intellectually you believe it, but how about deep within your heart?
Imagine yourself in the crowd as this story takes place as recorded in the Book of Luke:
Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a sleeping mat. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the man, "My friend, your sins are forgiven!"
"Who does this fellow think he is?" the Pharisees and teachers of the Law exclaimed among themselves. "This is blasphemy! Who but God can forgive sins?"
Jesus knew what they were thinking, and He replied, "Why is it blasphemy? I, the Messiah, have the authority on earth to forgive sins...I'll prove it to you by healing this man." Then, turning to the paralyzed man, he commanded, "Pick up your stretcher and go on home, for you are healed!" (Luke 5:18-20,24, TLB).
What a marvelous illustration of God's willingness to forgive.
God's holy Word tells us that Jesus Christ, through His death on the cross, has set us free-free from sin, free from the Law, free from the bondage of guilt that sin and the Law bring.
Maybe you are finding it difficult to believe in your heart that your sin has been paid for. Perhaps you are thinking, "I have lustful thoughts toward another person." Or, "I've been taking the Lord's name in vain. God won't forgive that, will He?"
The fact is, He has forgiven you. You simply need to claim His forgiveness and believe His promise. And what a promise it is:
For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us (Psalm 103:11,12).
That's the forgiveness God offers. And think of it! It became yours the moment you believed in Jesus Christ as your Savior and as an act of your will received Him by faith into your life as your Lord and Master.

TELL A FRIEND
Have you talked with anyone about Jesus Christ during the past week?
During the past month?
In the past year?
Since you became a Christian?
For many years I have helped train Christians around the world in how to share their faith in Christ. Tens of thousands have discovered the joy of leading others to our Lord. Yet, did you know that as many as 98% of believers are neither confident nor effective in their witness for their Savior? Are you a part of that 98%?
Perhaps you have never learned how to witness or have had a discouraging experience in the past. Or you may just not feel motivated to share your faith with others.
Can I show you how to share your faith successfully, and with confidence?
I am convinced that ANYONE can share the gospel. You don't need special skills, a seminary education, or even an outgoing personality to be an effective witness. People who know me personally have learned that I am naturally a very shy person. Yet God has used me to share the truth of His love to people all around the world. No matter what your personality or background, I assure you--if He can use me, He can use you, too.
This page is designed for you. Here, you will learn how to:
Prepare for witnessing
Share your testimony
Overcome objections
Deal With Rejection
Disciple new believers
I would like to start by telling you about how I became a Christian. It was a step of faith that changed my life forever, a step that began because others wanted me to hear the gospel.

A prominent businessman, a leader in his church, sat across from me in my office. By every standard of human measure, this man was an outstanding success. As we talked, it became increasingly clear that in spite of his active leadership in the church, he was unsure of his eternal destiny. And he was desperately seeking assurance of his salvation...
The wife of an evangelist told me, "During the past thirty years, my husband and I have introduced thousands of people to Christ, but I have never been sure of my own salvation. Now, I'm desperate to know for sure. I need your help..."
A student who had just received Christ stood to his feet. With a puzzled and troubled look on his face, he said, "I don't feel any different. I guess God didn't hear my prayer. How can I be sure Christ has come into my life?"
Perhaps you, too, are uncertain about your relationship with the Lord.
Size is approx.
From my experience of counseling many thousands of students and lay people through out the years, I have become convinced that millions of church-goers have invited Christ into their lives, many of them over and over again, but are not sure of their salvation. In fact, surveys indicate that 50 percent of the church members in the United States are not sure Christ is in their lives. These are good people. Often, they have served faithfully in their church for years. And yet, they still have no assurance of Christ's abiding presence, no confidence that, if they died today, they would go to be with the Lord in heaven.
Why does this heartbreaking uncertainty exist among so many devoutly religious people? I am persuaded that their lack of assurance is due either to misinformation or to a lack of information regarding who God is. This includes understanding the deity of Christ, the meaning of the crucifixion and the resurrection of our Lord, and what is involved in receiving Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
Permit me to ask you this personal, so very important, question: What about you? If you were to die today, are you absolutely sure, beyond a shadow of a doubt, you would go to heaven?
In the following pages, I want to share with you a message of great hope. It is a message for which the whole world hungers - and one I believe is desperately needed for the Church.
