In this touching evangelism encounter, Ray Comfort shares the gospel with a young woman who is deeply moved by the reality of her sin against a holy God. Watch as the Holy Spirit does a work in her heart through God's Word being proclaimed. Please pray that this young woman would surrender her life to Jesus.
are you afraid of death somewhat it's a
very interesting topic i think
the the fact that we can't know what
happens after death is what makes it
scary for a lot of people why do you
think you can't know
i mean death is the final barrier that
you can't come back from when you pass
through it have you ever put together an
appliance without reading the
instruction book and made a mess of it
oh yeah definitely the the instruction
book is essential for
anything the maker knows best gives the
instructions how to make the appliance
work the bible is god's instruction book
that makes sense the old testament god
promised to destroy death
the new testament tells us how he did it
did you know that i don't know
have you ever studied the bible no let
me tell you what the bible says the
reason you die is because god has given
you the death sentence
it says the wages of sinner's death in
other words sin is so serious to god is
paying you and death for your sins it's
what we've earned
do you think you're sinful enough for
god to be justified to put you to death
i would hope not and this is the mistake
most people make they think god is just
like us that he's got our moral standard
but the bible says he's morally perfect
so you think you're a good person i
don't hope so i i do my best to be a
good person so how many lies have you
told in your life i don't think that the
number most people would be able to
quantify have you ever stolen something
even if it's small in your whole life
irrespective of its value
not on purpose have you ever used god's
name in vain yeah
love your mom
would you use her name as a cuss word
no
you'd never do that because that would
dishonor her
i would disrespect her but
you haven't honored the god that gave
you a mother or gave you life you've
used his name in the place of the s word
which is called blasphemy very serious
in god's eyes so serious is punishable
by death so i'm giving you the standard
that god's going to judge will on
judgment day
jesus said if you look with lust you
know what lust is
if you look with lust you commit
adultery in your heart have you ever
looked with lust i don't believe i have
have you ever hated somebody i would
have to say yes the bible says
he who hates his brother is a murderer
that's how high god's standards are let
me give you a quick summation
red this isn't judging you this is for
you to judge yourself you told me you're
a liar a blasphemer and a murderer at
heart
that's how god sees you so if he judges
you by the ten commandments we've looked
at five of them on judgment day you're
going to be innocent or guilty oh god
would consider me guilty for that
heaven or hell
sounds like hell to me
does that concern you i know i should
say yes but if the other god's standard
then so be it it may not concern you but
red it horrifies me i've just met you
but i care about you i even love you i
don't even know you but i want you i
want to see you in heaven the thought of
you ending up in hell takes my breath
away it's so terrible death is evidence
that god is serious about sin
do you know what god did for guilty
sinners so he wouldn't have to go to
hell i don't believe i know
you probably do but you don't understand
it have you heard of jesus dying on the
cross
i have okay
it's as simple as this you and i broke
god's law the ten commandments
jesus paid the fine just before he
dismissed his spirit he said it is
finished that's a strange thing to say
when you're dying but he was saying the
debt has been paid
we broke god's law jesus paid the fine
read if you're in court and you've got
speeding fines the judge will let you go
if someone else pays them
they'll say red there's a lot of
speeding fines here but someone's paid
him
you're out of here you can leave even
though you're guilty you walk because
someone paid your fine and even though
you and i are guilty before god of
serious crimes
he can let us walk he can forgive us
legally
because jesus paid the fine he even the
scales through his death and
resurrection
and all you have to do to find
everlasting life
is repent of your sins that means to be
sorry for your sins and to turn from
them don't play the hypocrite be genuine
in your faith
and then trust in jesus like you trust a
parachute you're like someone on the
edge of a plane ten thousand feet up
they know they have to jump they don't
have a parachute it's really scary but
this is their plan they're going to flap
their arms and try and save themselves
well you and i would say to that person
don't do that it's not going to work
just trust the parachute
so don't try and save yourself on
judgment day by thinking you're a good
person because you're not you're like
the rest of us you're a sinner simply
transfer your trust from yourself to the
savior and the minute you do that you've
got god's promise he'll forgive every
sin you've ever committed all those
secret sins that nobody knew about that
god saw
he'll wash them away in an instant not
because you're good but because god is
good and kind and rich in mercy
is this making sense it is so red if you
would have died a day and god gave you
justice you'd be justly damned
there are two things you must do to be
saved you must repent and trust alone in
jesus
when are you going to do that i can't
say i have a definite answer but i'm
sure it is something i would want to do
someday
well think of it like this you're on a
plane ten thousand feet up
if you jump you're going to hit the
ground at 120 miles an hour you have to
jump
i say you're going to put the parachute
on
you say oh it's something i'm going to
consider one day
the best thing i can do for you would be
to hang you up the plane by your ankles
for five seconds pull you in and you'll
say oh give me that parachute this is
terrifying
and what i've tried to do is hang you
out eternity by your ankles just for a
few minutes so you get fear in your
heart because that fear is your friend
not your enemy if it makes you put on a
parachute it's doing you a favor
and if it makes you come to christ and
say god forgive me i'm a sinner
it's doing you a great favor bible says
through the fear of the lord men depart
from evil and we'll never let go of our
sins as long as we think we're good
people or we procrastinate that is we
put things off
so i want you to think about it with
this sense of sobriety what if you died
today what if you died tonight 150 000
people die every 24 hours
so when do you think you'll get right
with god don't feel pressured by me but
be pressured by common sense
okay when do you think you're going to
get right with the lord
i know the correct answer is right now
but
faith is a big thing to a lot of people
and i would need to come to that answer
on my own eventually
well let me just tell you something
about faith
i'll teach you a little lesson about
faith that may really help you okay
do you live in this area i do
what are you studying at the school i'm
currently majoring in english okay i
don't believe any of that i don't
believe you're from this area or that
you're majoring in english
if i don't have faith in your integrity
you're speaking the truth it's an insult
to you as a human being and so don't
insult god with a lack of faith and just
say i trust the lord he gave me life he
gave me my
my brain he gave me my eyes he gave me
my ability to breathe the blueness of
the sky the love of family all these
things are a gift from god
and so have faith in them trust them
with all your heart you know we trust
pilots we trust taxi drivers we trust
doctors we trust surgeons and all those
people can let us down but god will
never let you down
because he has no sin it's impossible
for god to lie the bible says
and that's wonderful news for you and i
who can believe everything he says in
this word so you're going to think about
what we talked about oh well
correct me if i'm wrong
but read i noticed a number of times you
teared up you had tears in your eyes
why is that
[Music]
i was raised in a christian family so
you know
part of what you said is very familiar
something's happening in your heart
isn't it
it seems simple
so
all i can say is the bible says genuine
sorrow for sin
is pleasing to god
the bible says the sacrifices of god are
a broken spirit and a contrite heart do
you know what contrition is
no it means to be sorry for your sins
that's what a judge looks for in a
criminal if the criminal's sorry and he
sees a tear in his eye the judge will
give him mercy so get before the lord
and say god forgive me i'm a sinner
and he won't despise that hill
he'll greet you with open arms and
forgive you and give you a new heart
with new desires
can i pray for you
of course
father i pray for read that this day
shall come before you with a good and
honest heart and understand not only
your justice and your anger against sin
but your love and mercy you extended in
the cross so
this day please speak to a heart
her may she be born again
and may she love and serve you the god
who gave her life for the rest of her
days in jesus name we pray amen
isn't that cool
your family are christians is that right
yeah and i've been praying for you and
that's why you've listened today they
love you and so do we and so does god
okay god bless you you too thank you
