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

6. Excuse:

"I am as good as others."

Answer:

 

Violin players do not take their tones from each other, but from the piano. Builders are constantly using the plumb line, the level, the square. We need to live by standards-not comparisons. Nobody can claim health because he is better than another diabetic or stronger than another cancer victim. Measure yourself by Jesus if you want to know how good or bad you are. Do not be too sure you are better than many within the church. They have confessed Jesus before men-as Jesus asked. You have not. Moreover, you are forbidden to judge to justify yourself. You are not saved or lost by the deeds of others.

 

 

7.Excuse:

"I am so week."

Answer:

 

"thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth thee. Trust ye in the lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength." (Isaiah 26:3-4). Who will keep? The Almighty God. How? "In perfect peace." On what condition? "Whose mind is stayed"on God-not on self, nor circumstances, failures, successes, nor on others. trust-try not to worry, but trust. In whom? God. How long? All the time. Why? For God is everlasting strength.

 

Jude 24

Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

 

1 Corinthians 10:13

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

 

Philippians 1:6

Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

 

Isaiah 41:10

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

 

Isaiah 41:13-14

For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the Lord, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

 

2 Timothy 1:12

For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
