Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is
eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not

of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should
boast."

Confirm with the lost person the fact that a "gift" is by definition FREE.
And since a gift is not given on the condition of future payments, neither will
it be taken away because of a lack thereof. Hence...

6. THE GIFT WILL NEVER BE TAKEN AWAY.

Always explain and give at least one verse on eternal security BEFORE they
pray, because many people will still be thinking that the "prayer" they're
about to say is only the "first step" in a life-long process, i.e. a "salvation"
that they have to work to "keep" and "maintain", in which case, they are not
really getting saved.

It is crucial to emphasize that their salvation happens in a MOMENT of time
and lasts FOREVER. 2 Corinthians 6:2 "...behold, now is the accepted
time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)"

See Lesson 2 for eternal security verses.

7. HOW TO ACCEPT THE GIFT.

Romans 10:13 is a simple, direct verse to end with: "For whosoever shall
call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." You can get there via
verses 9-10 in the same chapter, or via Acts 10:43b "...through his name
whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins."

Tell the lost person to pray for salvation in their own words. DON'T tell
them exactly what to say. Don't say a prayer for them and have them repeat

after you word-for-word. That often leads to false confessions of faith,
artificially inflated convert counts, churches full of lost people, and
