Saturday’s outreach was greatly encouraging as we shared the Gospel of grace with the people of Bribie Island.  There was an almost constant flow of conversations.  Most passer-by’s took tracts, and some received Bibles.  It was also a blessing to have a couple from Hervey Bay join us once again in evangelism.

  It was fascinating to see one woman, an atheistic evolutionist, ask for a Bible.  Although she did not even believe in God, she says she goes to His Word for advice in tough times.  We know that it is the Word which touches and changes hearts, so pray for the work to be done in her life.

  Pray for two teenagers, Susan and Emily, to think deeply about all they heard.  They were open-minded, and yet they had serious questions, both coming from atheistic backgrounds.  They were led through the law and the Gospel.  They seemed to understand, but they still doubted.   They each took a copy of John Blanchard's book, Ultimate Questions, as well as a tract.  They were urged to think about their own mortality and the seriousness of this matter.  They promised to do so.

  A young boy of perhaps ten also went through the Good Person flipchart.  He wanted to know why he would have to go to hell, since he had only done small things wrong (and had never even disobeyed his parents).  He was told that since his sin was against the most high God, the punishment was greater than if his sin was against man.  Three times he was taken through the Gospel and his need to repent and trust in Christ before he appeared to understand.  He also took a tract with him, so we ask you to pray for God to work on his heart.

  Four young men went to the flipchart and were asked where they thought they were going when they died.  Their answer was heaven—they were born-again believers.  They had a thorough grasp of the Gospel, which was encouraging to see.

  Kimmy also heard the Gospel, but was very much opposed.  Pray for the softening of her heart.

  Four teenage girls were approached in conversation.  Although they admitted to being bad people, they said they wanted to go to heaven because it was a good place.  They were asked whether heaven would still be a good place if God let bad people in.  They agreed that was a valid point.  They were told the good news of Christ’s death on the cross on our behalf.  They were asked if they would be willing to sell their eyes for a million dollars?  “No, of course not.”  And how much more important are their souls!  Pray for the opening of their eyes.

  Please pray for wisdom for us, for boldness, and for the right words to be in our mouth.  Pray for fruit from this outreach, that the Lord of the harvest might be glorified, and that souls might be added to the kingdom.

3 Bibles were given out this fortnight. One was to a lady who walked passed and as I offered a tract she said she will stop on the way back. Most people don't return but the Lord had already planned to draw her to come and receive the most important news ever and we pray for the work of God to gift her with repentance and faith. Pray for E she has a Bible and some tracts. E told us about her up bringing. She had to go back to work but we had enough time to bring the message of law and grace to her. Praise God!

R & R both wanted Bibles, they were with us for a good while. We were able to talk with both of them one on one then we all came together at the end and went over the message to see if they had understood the vital points in the Gospel presentation. They were challenged as we went through the law and the consequences we face in our sinful state. After going through the law and they saw they were guilty and  consequently faced with the penalty of hell punishment as we all deserve.

Using the flip chart as a helpful visual we shared how Jesus suffered and died on the cross in our place to pay for our sin. Then we encouraged them both to turn (repent) and trust in Jesus as the only way to be made right in God's sight for He is the way the truth and the life. The only way to heaven. Jesus proved His power over sin and death by rising from the grave and now is seated on the right hand of the Father. He has conquered sin and death.

We talked about reading God's Word starting at the book of John, that they may come to believe upon Jesus. Why would anyone not want to be with such a wonderful God and why reject such a beautiful kind offer to be saved from hell punishment. Only He can change hearts all we can do is bring the Gospel, and keep pointing them to that trust Jesus paid for their sin - that is the greatest thing we can do. The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation.

A Lady who we have seen numerous times came by again and we asked how she was going with the book of John that we gave her last week. She said she is not good at reading but has read a little bit. We keep encouraging her to seek after our Heavenly Father in prayer who provides all things for us and get to know Him through the reading and studying of His word.

All glory to our great God!

The usual team of two were in Riccarton on Tuesday.  The outreach started with some nice summer heat.  And it wasn’t long before I was into my first gospel conversation.

It was with two muslim ladies from Sudan.  I started by asking them questions about what they thought happens after life.  And it wasn’t long before they were saying that their good deeds would get them to heaven.  I used an analogy to explain why good deeds don’t take away bad deeds - it made sense to them, and so they moved to the idea of having “regret” and “being sorry” would save them.  So I again used another analogy to explain why that wouldn’t help either.  This nicely moved the conversation into a discussion about how serious sin is in the eyes of God, and the hope of the good news of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross to pay our sin debt - by faith alone.  Being muslims, they became resistant to this idea.  But I just kept gently confronting them with the problem of sin and justice - and asking them how they can solve that dilemma apart from the sacrifice of Jesus.  We also talked about the fact that, although salvation is a gift, the cost is incredibly great - esp. for many muslims considering converting.  They became very thoughtful.  They said they would read the tracts I had given them before we parted ways.

Would you like to learn powerful analogies for explaining important gospel related concepts with people in your life?  We have a free conference coming up in Christchurch (NZ) on Saturday, November 9th where one of the sessions will be on this very subject.  Come along, it’s free: https://tellmechristchurch.org.nz/conference/

By the time Roger turned up, the weather was turning to rain, and the temperature had dropped significantly.  I asked Roger to guard my flip chart, while I ran back to my car to get my jacket.  I thought that, by the time I got back, Roger would be cold and wondering why we were standing in the rain!  But when I got back, Roger was in a deep conversation with two guys (pictured).  I could tell it was a good conversation - and it was!  One of them left, but the other stayed for a long chat (pictured).  He came to tears and shared some deep struggles in his life.  He was very interested in the gospel.  Roger exchanged contact details with him.

Roger ended up having a wonderful run of gospel conversations in the few hours we were on the street corner.  Another one was with a young lady (pictured) who needed to get away from some issues at home and so went for a walk and crossed paths with Roger to hear the gospel.  She was a deep thinker, and gladly received a free copy of the new testament (plus Psalms and Proverbs; pictured).

We both had many other opportunities to share the love of Christ.  Roger with a couple of Indian guys, and a high school student.  Myself with a homeless guy, a guy smoking a cigarette, and a wonderful follow up with a Christian who seems very challenged to get involved with the great commission.

And by the time the outreach had finished, the sun was out again! :)

Two Christians, spending a couple of hours on a street corner, can bring the gospel to so many.  How many more could we reach if you joined in also?  Be encouraged to get involved!  Get in touch. :)

On Tuesday at Woodridge there was a team of six out! It has been exciting to see some of the smaller teams start to grow in their consistent sizes! God is raising up labourers and as a result many are coming to grasp the good news of the gospel!

The first conversation of the afternoon was with Mohit, an Indian man who willingly chose to miss his bus so that he could chat. He came to grasp the good news of the gospel and said that he would have to this day consider trusting that Jesus has paid for his sin. He heard that it is a free gift to all who believe but was also challenged that despite this gift being free, it could cost him greatly in this life, if he accepts it. He was understanding and took a tract and a gospel of John!

Around this time a man, whose name was later found out to be Luke walked by. He was asked a question but turned down the opportunity to chat as he was in a hurry to get home. The afternoon rolled on by without much thought of Luke. But whilst the team were elsewhere focused God was at work.

Through the afternoon Emil a South American came to grasp the simple gospel. He at first was hardened to it but finished by saying that he wants to think about trusting that Jesus paid for his sin today! Adam who had spoken to the team last week was reminded again of the good news and challenged to consider trusting that Christ has paid for his sin. Another professing Christian who didn't grasp the gospel had it explained to her and a man named Desi who has avoided chatting to the team for months had a chat with us and came to grasp the offer of forgiveness! But all of this excitement was finished off with the return of Luke.

Between when we had first seen Luke and now, he had gone to head home and whilst waiting for his train had been mugged. In the mugging his collarbone had been broken. So over the past three hours or so he had been in police interviews, down at the doctors surgery receiving care. But now God had bought him back for a second opportunity. This time after a humiliation and he was sitting waiting and willing to chat.

Luke came to grasp the simple message of hope. He saw how a sinner can be forgiven and even stated, "This is what my partner has been trying to explain to me for months". He was able to explain the way to Heaven back to the team and said that he would have to start reading a Bible and took a tract.

It was quite an unusual turn of events but a little cheeky sidenote must be added, with all the information at our disposal, this seems like the work of a sovereign and kind God, who would providentially allow a man to be mugged, at the hands of wicked men, according to His good pleasure, to humble him so that he would have an opportunity to hear and understannd the incredible good news that he a sinner can be forgiven.

Please be praying for Luke that he would heed this message and see God's kindness in his circumstances and be an eternally change man as a result! Please also pray for the others who heard the good news that they too would come to trust in Christ alone for their salvation!

Battle Log : Toowong Village Tuesday Oct 29 1330 - 1500

It is one of the most enjoyable mission field I have ever engaged, not only because God gives us great variety of gospel outreach opportunities every time. More so, I can witness God's own life transformation work on me and my gospel compatriot in particular Winnie Choi. God called her and has given her the passion for gospel and empowered her to preach the gospel indiscriminately to people of all races in English and Mandarin most of the time that she originally was not very good at these two languages apart from her mother tongue Cantonese. It fits with the theory that Gospel proclamation is the work of God that we sinful human originally are not worthy to play any part but by mercy of God, He elected us as His vessel to do His work while in the mean time , we the unworthy vessel will be transformed as a tool used by God that can virtually do any great thing for His glory sake. So Street evangelism is virtually the work of God but He will elect us, train us, use us and empower us to do great thing for Him. Thus, once Winnie has mastered the basic skill and method, God and God only is her personal trainer in all these street outreach occasions. Today again she was given three complete gospel sharing chances with good result as recap below : -
a) Ryan Aussie UQ student who was moved to reconnect with Christ and to look for church.
b) Susie, an Aussie old lady was also moved to receive Christ and asked for tracts that she could bring home for her sons and daughters.
c) Tina an UQ students from India, was also convinced by the way of salvation by Christ.

Johnny and Collins both had numerous gospel sharing opportunities. Johnny in the end referred to me a person form China with a sure name same as me.

As for me, I had seven Gospel sharing opportunity as recap below with two stood out ones. One was with a Russian UQ lecturer and a UQ student from China of my same sure name.

1) Ben an UQ student from Malaysia who knows a little about Christ but not yet a Christian. I walked to the shopping centre with him so as to share the full gospel.

2) Melissa, a lady I shared gospel before passed by and greeted me to thank for what I shared with her.

3) May an UQ Master Degree student from China but did her undergraduate in USA uni. She later disclosed she actually is a Christian and was baptised in USA. But she knows very little about God and appeared having not read Bible a lot. Thus, she failed the Christian Salvation Assurance test. I greatly recommended her to get back to God and to connect with Christian community likes Power to Change which she acknowledges such need.

4) Jack an UQ Aussie student. He has no religious belief but showed strong body language inviting me to chat with him and finally appeared very receptive to the gospel.

5) Vladimir Kruglov is an Russian UQ professor of Department of Physic. He claimed to be a Christian but in the mean time, he explores other religions like Buddhism and Hinduism as a means for transcendent peace. So in fact he is just a nominal Christian by birth but has no real redemptive faith. Obviously, he has gone astray for a wrong way for salvation. He has a false confidence that through training of heart and mind by practicing Karate , he can venture spiritual adventure sighting spirits in spiritual realm. I just pray for him and hope we can have another chance to chat. But I gave him the name card of Kenneth Chan who is the worker of Power to Change for Faculty member of UQ.

6) A nameless Chinese UQ student who was reluctant to chat but still I walked her to the bus stop and finished the gospel sharing. Eventually I also refereed her to Power to Change.

7) 關浩翔 Ho Cheng Kwan from 開平, China. He initially was approached by Johnny but was referred to me when noticed he shares the same Sure Name of mine and is Cantonese speaking. He appeared very sincere and became very receptive to the gospel. He admitted while managing to be a good person, he so far could not resist the sin of lust like most of the young people. He showed great urge to receive Christ in getting his sin be pardoned so that he can be a free person again in Christ.

On Thursday afternoon a team of six were out at Sunnybank. It was a usual afternoon with many short conversations. Some people came to grasp the good news and responded positively. Others heard it and there wasn't time to check if they remembered it. Some saw little snippets of God's existence and the law but most excitingly God and His sovereign will was on display.

There was a conversation that took place around 3:30 in the afternoon with a young lady named Kimeal. She said she regularly goes to a Catholic church each sunday and when asked what she thought the way to Heaven was in relation to the ten commandments. She said her church had been going through a series on the ten commandments and now she was learning what she must do in order to get to Heaven. It was all about works. She was shown the ten commandments and her guilt and her face started to look very worried as she realised she had totally failed God's law. Then her bus arrived. She tossed up whether to stay and chat but ended up leaving because she had to go.

The rest of the afternoon went by and a scattering of other conversations took place but after dinner as usual the team headed into Brisbane City. At around 8:30pm the renovation works in King George Square were so loud that the team migrated into the Queen St mall to have some conversations. There again were some exciting and encouraging conversations. But just after 9pm, on the return trip from the bathroom Kimeal was spotted walking towards the team. She realised who I was and then we proceeded to chat.

Over the course of the conversation she came to grasp the desperate position she is in before God, that if she died this day and God gave her justice she would be sent to Hell and therefore that she had only one hope, a full and free pardon, not that she could earn but that was given to her. Kimeal came to grasp the glorious gospel and with tears in her eyes and joy in her voice shared that she had never heard this before and was so excited that there was a solution!

She professed that from this moment onwards she would trust that Jesus has paid for her sin and that is the only reason she is going to Heaven! She took a gospel of John and was encouraged to read it and said she would get her hands on a proper Bible and reads Romans sometime. She was very greatful and thanked me. She noted that she didn't think this was an accident and God had clearly planned this double encounter.

Please be praying for Kimeal that she would start to see that problems in her Catholic church and instead start looking for a Church that will preach God's Word not man's ideas. Please also be praying that she would grow in her depth and understanding as she spends time in the word each day!

What an exciting day of outreach, may God receive the praise for all that He has done through unworthy servants!

We welcomed Janet to the team today for our post-hallowe'en witnessing time. Our gracious Lord provided an interesting variety of people to talk to. We remember these particularly at the throne of grace and hope you will supplement our petitions:

     - M. & R., a young couple who were open to hear the whole law and gospel challenge and departed with a N.T. each. May the Father draw them to the Son, Jn. 6:44...

     - S., a Philipino man who needs  a translator to understand the tract and likewise 2 young Chinese men.

     - C. a nominal Hindu who wanted to fulfill his mother's dream. After participating in  the law and gospel conversation, he was challenged to trust Christ alone and forsake Hinduism but he balked at that. May God soften his 'heart'.

      - 2 young Muslim men, H. & G., who were approached separately talked freely  of their beliefs When one of us was asked if we believed in the prophet Muhammad, the negative reply was given. Why? We said that his message disagreed with the preceding prophets. H. took contact details and will research Sura 5 . Pray the conversation continues.

We thank God for all the opportunities He provided for us today. We praise Him for how He builds His Church. We give Him all the glory. We went home rejoicing.

Saturday and Sunday provided good sunny weather for outreach in Christchurch (NZ).  There was an outreach on both days: in Cashel Mall.

Saturday’s outreach started by scouting out the best place to base.  There was a lot happening: an Indian cultural festival in Cathedral Square, and big bands were playing all over the place: even on one of the trams!  There were many people out and about.

During the scouting, I ended up having a walk up conversation with a guy who had only just landed in Christchurch, from the UK, the night before.  He was reserved, but interested, and was willing to give me the time to share the gospel with plenty of context.  He accepted multiple tracts from me before heading off.

I ended up setting up my flip chart on Cashel Mall more towards the Bridge of Remembrance.  There were many people walking past, but not many were taking tracts, and it was difficult to get any conversations started.

But eventually God provided opportunities to interact with people.  Another young man from the UK, who was heading down to help with one of the big bands, came passed and stopped.  He said he didn’t have long, and wanted the thirty second overview of the gospel (not ideal).  So with warning, I proceeded to do that.  Interestingly it hooked him, and we ended up sitting down and talking further.  He ended up staying for about fifteen minutes.  He was a deep thinker, but sadly very resistant.  He had made up his mind on his current path of life - and he wasn’t going to let me distract him.

I was also very encouraged when a guy engaged me suddenly.  It turns out he is a religious education teacher at a Catholic high school, just down from the Northlands bus stops.  The team has many opportunities to share the gospel with students from that school - some even refer to the RE teachers in conversations.  In our short discussion, we agreed that, although we agree on the Trinity, we disagree on justification by faith alone.  Sadly, his wife turned up at that point and he had to go - but I asked him to get in touch so we could talk further.

One of the last interactions was with one of Jehovah’s witnesses - he had just changed guard from their stand down from me.  He wanted to know what I was doing.  I normally don’t make much ground with the JWs I talk to, but I was pleased to be able to explain why all the major differences between our beliefs were critical to his eternal destiny: If God is just, there must be a Hell; our good works will not get us into the Kingdom of God (I pointed him to Matthew 5:21 & 22); and Jesus must be God to atone for sin.

Sunday was very windy - not ideal flip chatting weather!  So the team focused on tract distribution and also walk up conversations.  I had three conversations.

The first was with a teen couple, who said that they were born again Christians, but when I asked them why they would be going to heaven, they said that it was because they were obeying the commandments!  Wrong answer.  So I proceeded to show them some of the ten commandments to see how they did, and I was then able to explain that it was only a repentant faith in Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross that would make them born again.

The last conversation was long, intellectual, tiring, but very rewarding.  After explaining how we know God exists, and that He is the source of our conscience, I proceeded to take them through the law.  She was instantly resistant at this point - but I was encouraged by this.  There was life in this soul!  After avoiding many rabbit trails, I was able to explain the gospel, and then circle back and deal with objections.  Although resistant to what I was saying, she seemed impacted by the fact that I would stand on the street and care enough about people to share.  She gladly took different tracts from me that went into some more details on some of the things we had talked about.  And then she gave me a hug!

The outreach was overtime by this stage, and I was tired.  I’m grateful for the opportunity to share the love and grace of God, but looking forward to rest.

Thursday was another day of variable spring weather.  The switch between sunny and wet occured multiple times throughout the day.  Just before the Northlands outreach was about to start, the rain was extremely heavy (even going sideways at times)!  But Andy decided to brave the weather - knowing the bus shelters provided some protection.  And he was rewarded with almost constant gospel conversations!  I guess, while waiting at a bus stop, it’s just as easy to talk on a sunny day as a wet one.

Friday saw improved weather - although there was a cold wind - and so all the outreaches were able to proceed: gospel + abortion outreach outside Christchurch hospital, open air preaching in Cathedral Square, the afternoon outreach on Cashel Mall, and finally the evening outreach in the central city.

There was a team of three for the gospel + abortion outreach.  Praise God there were many opportunities to dialog with people on top of the voice of the signs we were holding.

One of those conversations was a follow up with a young man I’ve talked to multiple times in Riccarton.  He was very supportive of what we were doing.  I was very encouraged to see that he was holding a grasp of the gospel and showing signs that he may have responded positively to it.  I invited him along to our little church.  I hope to see him again soon!

The open air preaching in Cathedral Square was wonderful, there were many people about, and no music to compete with.  Andy had written a submission for the proposed abortion law change but was not selected to give an oral submission - so he decided to share his submission in the open air instead, along with sharing the gospel.

There was a team of three sharing the gospel on Cashel Mall.  I had a busy time - the highlight conversation was with a lady who had received a tract but took the time to come back and return it due to disagreement.  I ended up having a good conversation where we discussed our differences in belief - sadly, I’m concerned about this ladies standing before God.  Interestingly, as she was heading off, she decided to accept a different gospel tract from me.  She didn’t come back to return that one!

The day’s outreaches was wrapped up with a team of two in the evening.  Cathedral Square had been set up for an Indian cultural festival the following day, and a whole lot of people were waiting around for their turn to get on stage to practice.  This of course provided opportunities for gospel conversations: I was very encouraged to see one Sikh man understanding the gravity of sin when I explained that anger is murder of the heart to God.  I shared the gospel, and afterwards he was very keen to find out more, asking about a web site he could look at.  I was happy to point him to one.

Earlier, I had an opportunity to offer a tract to a couple of English cricket players walking past (they will be playing New Zealand, in Christchurch, next week).  I wasn’t surprised that they weren’t interested as I think I had an opportunity to share tracts with other players/coaching staff on Wednesday - they all turned them down then too.  Knowing this, I decided to be bold and ask if I could as a question - they didn’t stop, but one said, “sure”.  So I asked, “do you ever think about what happens after life?”.  I was ignored and they walked on.  But a couple of seconds later, he turned around to give me a look - as if to say: “what kind of question is that ”  I know cricket players think about death, we just have to remember Phil Hughes who recently died in a cricket match when he was hit in the head by the ball.  We have no idea when it will come - and it can be sudden!

The outreach finished with a wonderful conversation outside the bus exchange.  Two girls stopped who were willing to stay and talk about the things of God.  After hearing the gospel, one of them asked a key question: “What does God think of gays?”  It was my pleasure to say that God loves gays so much that he died on the cross for them, but that it was clear that God, who writes the rules, thinks homosexuality is a sin.  He has the power to change hearts - even with this sin - by the power of the gospel.  But she said, “Well, this lesbian is going to hell” - and she blew me a kiss as she walked off.

Jesus, may you receive the reward of your suffering!  Please show these people your mercy through your sacrifice and the gift of repentance and faith in you!

The spring weather in Christchurch (NZ) has been very variable.  On Tuesday I started the Riccarton outreach early to avoid rain.  And on Wednesday, I had to deal with all four sessions: heat, cold, wind and rain!

The Riccarton outreach wasn’t as busy as the previous two outreaches there, but the Lord did bring people to hear His gospel.

The highlight conversation was with two teen guys.  I was surprised to see them out of school so early, but they said something about exams.  Anyway, they were very open to the logic of the law and the gospel.  One in particular seemed deeply impacted when discussing the serious nature of sin.  It was encouraging to see them concerned about this, and it was a pleasure to share the antidote: Jesus!

Two other conversations involved an Indian couple who didn’t seem to be very interested, and a Maori couple.  The girl became very resistant when I started by talking about how we know God exists.  Sadly, they left before I could even take them through the law, let alone the gospel.

On Wednesday, as I made it to Cathedral Square, the temperature was warm, but I noticed that the sky was very dark (pictured).  Sure enough, a minute later, it started to pour with rain, and even some hail!  This matched my mood, and it was really tempting to just give up and go home.  But I couldn’t even do that, as I would get soaked walking to my car.  So I did my best to shelter under a tree.  I wasn’t the only one trying to get shelter and amazingly, an easy conversation got started with a young man on holiday from Thailand.  I didn’t get to talk to him for long, and was only able to share the gospel via a tract, which he gladly received and said he would read.  But this “random” encounter encouraged me.

Within no time, the rain had passed, and the sun was out.  So I set up my flip chart and started handing out tracts to the few passers by.  Not too long later, a man approached me and wanted to know what the flip chart was about.  So I was upfront and said I was a Christian wanting to share good news.  He was instantly engaged and a wonderful gospel conversation got underway.  Oddly, he wanted to take photos of us together - which was fine with me.  Then he wanted to take photos of the flip chart.  And then he asked permission to video me.  Again, fine by me - I have nothing to hide!  So he recorded me for a while as I explained how we know God exists, how we know His standard, and then proceeded to get him to examine himself by that standard - all this in response to his key question: how do we know which religion is right?  He videoed me right up to the point where we were talking about anger being murder of the heart.  But I was still able to take him through the gospel and then talk about his original question before he said he had to go.  It turns out this man was a Muslim from Bangladesh.  He wanted me to pray for a personal issue he was struggling with, but I instead prayed for his most serious issue: his need to know God as his father, and to accept the gift of Christ’s sacrifice for his sins.  He left with the tracts: “Which One is Right?”, and “How we Know God Exists”.  I was again encouraged!

I then had a follow up with a young man who remembered the way to heaven correctly!  I challenged him on the urgency of response.  I had a number of other opportunities to talk with people before the end of the outreach and heading off to have lunch.  The second photo shows the contrast in weather from the start of the outreach!

The weather stayed sunny for the afternoon outreach, where I focused on walk up conversations on my way to Ara.  God blessed me with a long conversation outside Ara with a young man who was open and curious.  He understood the logic of the gospel, but his biggest hang up was in knowing that God created the universe.  Evolutionary thinking was so ingrained in him.  So we spent some time talking about this.  He left with a leaflet from CMI that provided some challenging questions with links to more information, as well as gospel tracts and a challenge on the urgency to respond to the gospel.

On the way back from Ara, I had a follow up opportunity with a young man who I’ve talked to many times over the last year.  We are becoming quite friendly.  He was also challenged on the urgency to respond to the gospel.

What about you?  Are you trusting that the sacrifice of Christ has paid for your sins?
