05.05. The Bible

5. THE BIBLE As you instruct a penitent toward the way of life, use your Bible. Read to him the promises of God. Get him to read them right from the Bible or Testament. Emphasize the promises as he reads them, that God "who cannot lie," has said this, and if the seeker will meet the conditions God will do the rest. Should any question or criticize you for using the Bible, ask him what he has or knows that is better than the Word of God. The Best Tools The best tool for the altar worker is a copy of the Christian Worker’s Testament. In this the best promises to use in dealing with seekers are marked.

Memorize the Word

Every Christian worker should commit to memory those great and precious promises which seem to be especially written for the sinner, the backslider, and the unsanctified. In dealing with a seeker, whether you are praying or talking, these promises should be quoted often. As you use them, they will inspire your own faith and then find a way through your voice into the ear and heart of the one with whom you are dealing, inspiring him to trust and believe.
