-
Hey, everyone out there!
-
I am so excited to tell about the new
witness cards we have made.
-
These are cards with pictures on,
-
you can use to share the gospel
to other people.
-
Many of you already know
of the cups and cookies,
-
how we use glass and water,
and things to illustrate the gospel,
-
but sometimes you are sitting
in a place
-
where you don't have these
to illustrate the gospel,
-
so we have made some new cards,
called "Witness Cards".
-
These cards are very, very special
in that way
-
that they really illustrate the gospel
in a beautiful way.
-
I just want to go through the cards
with you very short in this video,
-
and then you can go and see
a longer video,
-
where you can see in details how
to share the gospel with these cards.
-
There are 16 cards in a set like this.
-
On the backside
there is a link to videos,
-
where you can go and see more about it.
-
If we start with the cards,
on the fist three cards here
-
there are some commercials,
from the "Pioneer Training School",
-
from the TLR map and
for the movies we have.
-
If you take these cards and turn around,
we have the chess game.
-
And then I take the next three cards
and I turn around, now we have the chess.
-
That is to illustrate the things
we often talk about
-
that you move, we move, you move,
we move.
-
Are we allowed to move two times?
-
No. Why? Because there are rules.
-
And the things is
that we have all sinned.
-
God has sent His Son to die for our sins.
-
Whose time is it to move now?
It's your time.
-
And what do we need to do?
-
We need to repent, get baptized and
receive the Holy Spirit.
-
So, this is the beginning.
This are the cards we have.
-
Then, when we start to share the gospel,
we start with this.
-
In the beginning
God created heaven and earth.
-
And in the garden He put a man.
-
Or we can do it like this.
-
So, man walked with God.
-
Man was supposed to eat
of the tree of life and live forever,
-
but he took of the wrong tree,
and because of that man sinned.
-
Before they had a soft heart.
Now they got a stony heart.
-
Then they got divided from God.
-
And then we have a problem.
The sin came in.
-
And people sinned and rebelled
against God.
-
And then we can use these
to talk about sin
-
and talk about how we compare
ourselves with each other,
-
instead of how it was before
man fell away.
-
The good news is that He sent
His Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins.
-
Jesus walked here around us,
-
but where everyone have sinned,
He hasn't.
-
And then we illustrate, when He was
around 30 years old,
-
He got baptized in water and there
we have like a picture of water here.
-
He got baptized in water,
came up again,
-
and then the Holy Spirit
came over Him as a dove.
-
And then we turn a card around
and we see a dove there.
-
Then we share about how Jesus
walked around here,
-
healing the sick, preaching the gospel,
-
and called people to follow Him
as His disciples.
-
He died on the cross
and He got buried.
-
But because He was without sin,
He rose up again.
-
And then we have a new card
where He has a thorn on His head.
-
So, Jesus rose up again
from the cross.
-
But then He went to heaven
as now King,
-
and has sent His Holy Spirit
down here.
-
And then we can illustrate it like,
-
what do we now need to do?
-
We need to repent from our stony heart,
-
and when we turn around
and put our faith in Jesus,
-
God will give us a new heart,
a soft heart.
-
Now we have a heart that's soft.
-
But the body is still in sin.
-
So, what do we do with the sinful body,
with the dirty body?
-
We need to wash it clean in water.
-
And that is where we die with Christ.
We come down dirty
-
and we rise up as a new person.
-
We are now new in Christ,
have a new heart.
-
But, we need the Holy Spirit.
-
And like the Holy Spirit came over Jesus,
the Holy Spirit needs to come over us.
-
So, now we are sitting there
with the Holy Spirit,
-
walking here on earth
in Christ's place.
-
When other people hear the gospel
of the cross, of the Kingdom of God,
-
and about Jesus, they turn away
from their sins,
-
turn away and get a new heart.
-
Then they get baptized to Christ
and come up clean,
-
and then the Holy Spirit also
comes over them as a dove.
-
And then God, one day, is going to
divide the sheep from the goats,
-
and He's going to come down
in the New Jerusalem,
-
and there He will set the garden,
the tree of life,
-
people are going to eat of the tree of life
and live forever,
-
and one more time everything
is going to be so good, so perfect,
-
as it was in the beginning.
-
So, this is very short what we have
with these cards
-
and how you can use these cards
to illustrate the gospel,
-
when you talk with people.
-
You don't always have cups
and something to illustrate with,
-
and these cards are in a small set,
it's easy to have it in your pocket,
-
so when you're out some place:
-
"Hey, can we sit down and talk?
I want to show you something."
-
And there you can use these cards
to illustrate it.
-
You can get the cards on the
website thelastreformation.com.
-
Go in and get the cards.
-
We also have another video
we are linking to,
-
that is much longer,
-
where I will illustrate more and tell more
about these cards and how you use them.
-
God bless you!
Bye-bye!
