Teaching Tip of the Week

When giving an invitation, be sure to use a Bible verse as the central component. When you use scripture you make sure that the invitation is scripturally based and it helps you keep the invitation simple. Find verses that contain the terms of salvation (most commonly “believe”) and the result (usually “saved”.) Base your invitation and salvation counseling on these terms. Here are a few of those kinds of verses:

• John 1:12 - “Believe,” “Receive”/“Become a Child of God”

• John 3:16 - “Believe”/Not Perish,” “Everlasting Life”

• Romans 10:13 - “Call on the Name of the Lord”/“Saved”

• Acts 16:31 - “Believe”/“Saved”

• John 5:24 - “Hear,” “Believe”/“Everlasting Life”
