4. “What use is it, my brethren, if someone
says he has faith but he has no works?
Can that faith save him? If you know a
person is lost and subject to the wrath
of God, and one of you says to yourself,
"I believe the Gospel is powerful and
can save this person," and yet you do
not give them what is necessary for
their soul to be saved, what use is that?
Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead,
being by itself. But someone may well
say, "You have faith and I have works;
show me your faith without the works,
and I will show you my faith by my
works…" But are you willing to
recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith
without works is useless?” (James 2:14-
20, Evangelism Version…).

7. Penn Jillette:
Well known Atheist
“I don’t respect people who don’t
evangelize. If you believe that there is a
heaven or hell, or that people could be
going to hell, or not get eternal life, and
you think it’s not really worth telling
them this because it would make it
socially awkward… how much do you
have to hate somebody to not
evangelize? How much do you have to
hate somebody to believe that
everlasting life is possible and not tell
them that?”

2 Peter 1:5-10
• The greatest way to show love for others is
to tell them about Jesus (Jn. 1:41; 4:29).

a sobering reminder (Luke 16:19-31).

Then your not saved yourself, be sure of
that!”

gospel with others (1 John 2:2).
