South Texas State Fair update.
From March 26th to April 5th teams from 3D Training Center and Beaumont Bible Church ran a booth focused on spiritual worldview and evangelism.
During this time, we had approximately 950 individuals consent to participate in our survey. Here are a few statistics on what our community believes.
Of consenting participants:
•93% believed in the existence of God
•78% affirmed an absolute standard of morality
•37% were sure they would enter heaven upon death
•32% believed heaven to be a free gift
•15% believed entrance to heaven is granted through personal faith in Christ's death and resurrection
•73% said the Bible was the basis of forming their beliefs
and,
•70% of surveyed participants agreed to stay and hear a gospel presentation
The presentation included Biblical insight on the survey questions discussed as well as clearly showing how the Bible teaches salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. Please continue reading for a summary of this content.
We are thankful to have gotten the opportunity to dialogue with our community and share the blessed hope found in the person and work of Jesus Christ!
--------------------------
The Gospel Message: A holy God, a helpless sinner, a sufficient substitute, and a personal faith.
1.Who is God?
•“Great and marvelous are Your deeds, Lord God Almighty; Just and true are Your ways… For You alone are holy; all the nations will come and worship before You, For Your righteous acts have been revealed.” -Revelation 15:3-4
----------------------------
2.Where does mankind stand in comparison, and what does this mean for us?
•“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” -Romans 3:23
•“your sins have made a separation between you and your God…” -Isaiah 59:2
•“we are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteous deeds are like filthy rags.” -Isaiah 64:6
•“For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.” -James 2:10
•“For the wages of sin is death…” -Romans 6:23
•“The soul who sins shall die.” -Ezekiel 18:20
•“It is appointed once for man to die, and after this the judgment.” -Hebrews 9:27
--------------------
3.What did Jesus Christ do for us and how was He our substitute?
•“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” -Romans 5:8
•“The Lord has laid on Him [Jesus] the sin of us all.” -Isaiah 53:6
•“For Christ also died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, so that He might bring us to God…” -1 Peter 3:18
•“He [God the Father] made Him who knew no sin [Jesus the Christ] to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” -2 Corinthians 5:21
•“that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,” -1 Corinthians 15:3-4
--------------------------------
4.What does the Bible require for justification (salvation from the penalty of sin)? How should a person respond to Christ?
•“For it is by grace [undeserved kindness] you have been saved [from the penalty of sin] through faith [in Jesus Christ], and that not of yourselves, it [salvation] is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” -Ephesians 2:8-9
•“But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness, -Romans 4:5
•“Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved…” -Acts 16:31
----------------------------
5.What does God guarantee?
•“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son [Jesus the Christ], that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. He who believes in Him [Jesus] is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” -John 3:16-18
•“these things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God [Jesus the Christ], that you may know that you have eternal life.” -1 John 5:13
•“Most assuredly I [Jesus] say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.” -John 5:24
•“Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” -Romans 8:1
