6. That the gift will never be taken away.

7. How to accept the gift.

Many lost people grew up in churches, so they've had exposure to Bible
doctrine in the past and may not need all 7 things proven to them from
scripture, in which case shortcuts can be made to save time on things they
already know. Listen carefully to what they say and use discernment to
determine where emphasis needs to be placed and where more or less
prooftexts are necessary.

1. WHO JESUS IS.

They must know the REAL GOD. MOST people say they "believe in God,"
but they don't know anything about God or have serious misconceptions
about who God is.

1 John 5:20 "And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given

us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in
him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and
eternal life."

Make sure they have some concept of the DEITY of Jesus Christ.

John 20:31 "But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the
Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his

name."

John 5:18 "Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because
he...said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God."

In John 8:19, Jesus mentions His Father, and five verses later He says "if ye
believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins."

Acts 16:31 says "...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be
saved...", not just some man named Jesus.
