Day 278 - 286 - Pointing the Way

I met Jeremy at the Courthouse. He believed that if he died today he would go to hell. I asked him if that concerned him. He wasn't sure if it did. I explained to him what Jesus said about hell. That got his attention. I asked him if he knew what God did so he could spend eternity in heaven. He didn't know. I explained to him that God sent his son, Jesus Christ, to pay the penalty for his sins so that he wouldn't have to. I asked him if he believed that. He said he did. I asked him if he knew what Jesus said to do in order to get the benefit of what he had done for him. He didn't. I told him that Jesus said he must repent and believe (Mark 1.15). I explained to him what repentance means and asked him if he had ever repented. He hadn't. I asked him when he was going to repent, since he didn't know how much time he had left. He said he wasn't sure. I urged him not to wait until it's too late. I encouraged him to read the verses contained in the tract that I had given him and also urged him to check out the website that listed the steps to take once he repents. He said he would do those things. I hope he did.
