The goal of Part 1 is to lead the person to an understanding and acceptance of their sin and the consequences before God for it. The goal of Part 2 is to present God’s solution to the person’s sin, His one and only Son and that accepting/receiving this gift involves taking steps to follow Him in obedience by His Spirit.
You should see the contrast between Sin/Son, Sentence/Solution, Seperation/Sanctification naturally being played off of one another.
If it helps, great!
If not, use whatever works best for you.
Take it. Leave it. Modify it.
The point is: Share the Good News like it's Good News that you want to share!!!

This is wonderful. I love that you included specific verses; so often I feel like I'm saying,
ReplyDelete"Well, the Bible says such-and-such, you now, *somewhere* in there... probably in James."
i'm so glad this is helpful.
