Calling for Decisions

1. Remind the person that the things they are studying are matters of eternal life and death!
   
   

2. Relate how the love of God fits into all the decisions you are asking them to make.
   
   

3. Show them the danger of delay!  Tomorrow is not promised to anyone!  Relate an incident or experience illustrating this.
   
   

4. Tell them that it is presumption to think God will overlook our sins without us repenting and turning away from them and receiving by faith the atonement.  The Lord didn’t overlook Adam and Eve’s sin, even though their sin meant that one day His beloved Son would be nailed to a tree!
   
   

5. Remind them that their actions have an influence for good or for evil upon their spouse, their children, and others they love!
   
   

6. Point out that there will be only two classes of people in the end -- the obedient and the disobedient, the believers and the unbelievers.  There is no such a thing as a neutral part in the great controversy between Christ and Satan!  Jesus said, “He that is not with Me is against Me.”
   
   

7. Remind the person in a loving way that the cowardly will not enter the kingdom of God.  (See Revelation 21:8.)  It takes courage to follow Jesus all the way!
   
   

8. Share your experiences of when you first learned God’s truths, and assure them that the Lord will be with them, and will take care of all their needs!
