Gospel Presentation
Background Information:
The young lady I intend to present the gospel to her name is Hee KyungLee. We have recently became neighbors. She is 35 and from Korea she lived in South Korea until she was 20 where she came to the states to live. Hee’s religious beliefs prior to coming to America was of
Buddhism. At this time she is searching for answers to her questions about God.
Elements of Communication:
Presenting the gospel to Hee I ask her a question “If you were standing in front of God right now and He ask, “Why should I let you into my Heaven?”[1] What would you say? Hee said she did not know how she would answer such a question. I opened my Bible to John 3:16 where it says “For God so loved this world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” God’s main purpose for us is to give us eternal life. This is a free gift from God to us. (Romans 6:23) He tells us in John 10:10 that he came to give us eternal life She ask how does she obtain this eternal life. My response was you have to repent of all your sins and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.
Cultural Systems:
Hee’s cultural background are of the Buddhism faith. “Buddhist believe in moral philosophy, an ethical way to live for the here and now of this world. Buddha focused his beliefs on practical ways to end suffering. He did not rule out the existence of a God or Gods, and shortly after his death a devotional element formed with Buddhism.”
