五、关于得罪神自己（接上篇）
曾有一个老寡妇没有儿女，就打算把许多的财物送给一个侄子；而侄子不知道，贪图她的财产，竟把她杀了。后来他看见遗嘱，明白写着她所有的东西都是送给他的。他就大大懊悔了，因为他犯的不仅是杀人的罪，而且是杀了爱他之人的罪。这是最大的罪。所以人不接受主，在神面前乃是最大的罪，因为这是违背了神的爱。神是爱世人，所以把祂独生子赐给我们；我们若不接受，就是弃绝了神的豫备，拒绝了神的爱。这乃是最大的罪。
应用
你传福音时，从以上十个点里面，只要选一点用，就足能把人带到主面前，让他得救。但你如果用前八样中的任何一样时，必须再加上第九点或第十点，这样，人的得救才算完全。这就是说，罪人无论从那一条路进来，总必须让他看见，他是得罪了神的律法，或得罪了神的自己。有的人一得救，圣灵立刻作工，让他知道自己是得罪了神。如果圣灵没这样作，我们总要把人带到一个地步，让他知道得罪神。不然他的得救迟早要出问题。
传福音的工作，就是让人有这十样需要的感觉，然后给他得救的路。你如果好好这样的学习，就能领许多人得救。

How to Awaken a Sense of Sin in Men (5) – John 3:16
5. Concerning Offending God Himself (continued)
There was once an elderly widow who had no children. She planned to give all her wealth to a nephew. Unaware of her intentions and greedy for her possessions, the nephew murdered her. Later, when he discovered the will, he realized that all she had was already intended for him. He was deeply remorseful – not only because he had committed murder, but because he had killed someone who loved him. That was the greatest sin. In the same way, when a person refuses to receive the Lord, it is the greatest sin before God – it is a rejection of God’s love. God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. If we do not receive Him, we are rejecting God’s provision and spurning His love, which is the greatest sin.
Application
When you share the gospel, any one of the ten points above is enough to lead someone to the Lord and into salvation. But if you use any of the first eight points, you must also add either the ninth or the tenth point – so that the person’s salvation can be made complete. In other words, no matter which path a sinner takes toward salvation, they must ultimately come to see that they have either offended God’s law or God Himself. Sometimes, when man is saved, the Holy Spirit works immediately to let them know they have sinned against God. But if the Holy Spirit does not do this directly, we must help them reach this understanding. Otherwise, problems may eventually arise in their spiritual life. The work of evangelism is to help men become aware of these ten critical aspects of their spiritual need – and then offer them the way of salvation. If you diligently study and apply these truths, you will be able to lead many to salvation.
