Dr. R.G. Lee's list of conversion excuses and questions

8. Excuse:

"I am doing the best I can."

Answer:

How long have you been doing your best?

Have you succeeded?

How long will it take you to make yourself fit for heaven?

Suppose you die now?

The best you can do is to acknowledge you cannot do anything to save yourself-except believe.

9. Excuse:

"I am to big of a sinner."

Answer:

Jesus came to save all sinners, "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief." (1 Timothy 1:15). Are your sins scarlet? "Come now and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be white as wool." (Isaiah 1:18). Are you lost? "For the son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." (Luke:19:10). Are you without strength? "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ dies for us" (Romans 5:6-8). Jesus will not cast out anyone who will come to him.

John 6:37

All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

 

Matthew 9:13

But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

 

Hebrews 7:25

Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

 

Luke 23:39-43

And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.
