So if these people turn to God simply for peace and happiness, they are going to be disappointed because we as Christians know that we face tribulations for His name's sake. However, if we show them the law, the Ten Commandments and show them how we all fall short, but will have to face God's judgment some day, then they will turn to God and have a better understanding of the fear of God and they won't turn as easily away from Him. So I'm not sure if this adds any insight to what you're talking about but I felt led to share this... Post Reply

The Bible say's that the law of God is perfect, converting the soul, also that "the law is a schoolmaster to bring us to Christ" . It remind's me of the parable that Jesus said about the one who was forgiven much and the one forgiven little, if we do not understand the wickedness of our sin and the price that a Holy God had to pay to free us from the conceqences of it, then He will not be precious to us. In evangelism I have found "the way of the master" ministry to be the best biblical demonstration, you can find them on youtube or their own site, very empowering, God bless. Post Reply
