The Self-Deception Test

Circle whether the statements on assurance are True or False in your life today:

  1. There is no way I can be self-deceived.

    2. True False

    Jeremiah 17:9 - The heart is DECEITFUL above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?


  2. I think I am a really good and important person.

    3. True False

    Galatians 6:3 - For if anyone thinks he is SOMETHING when he is nothing, he deceives himself.


  3. Sin has never really been an issue for me.

    4. True False

    1 John 1:8 - If we say we have no SIN we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.


  4. I know a lot about the Bible, but it doesn’t really affect the way I love.

    5. True False

    James 1:22 - But be DOERS of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.


  5. The way I talk doesn’t really match up with my religious profession.

    6. True False

    James 1:26 - If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his TONGUE but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless.

Pillar 4: Sharing the Good News of the Gospel with Boldness

Excuses why I don’t share the Gospel with people:

  1. "That's not my GIFT."

  2. "Preacher's JOB."

  3. "I don't know what to SAY to people"

  4. "What if they ask hard QUESTIONS?"

  5. "Don't want to OFFEND anyone."

Why we share the Good News with Boldness...

  1. Because I am CONTROLLED by the LOVE of Christ (2 Cor 5:14-15)

    2. What moves you?

  2. Because people are ETERNAL beings (2 Cor 5:16)

  3. Because the gospel has CHANGED me (2 Cor 5:16, 21)

  4. Because this assignment is directly FROM GOD (2 Cor 5:18-20)

    1. As a MINISTER: This is God's Work! (2 Cor 5:18)

    2. As a STEWARD: This is God's Word! (2 Cor 5:19)

    3. As a REPRESENTATIVE: This is God's Passion (2 Cor 5:20)
