PREFACE SUMMARY

Dear reader, this message will be a blessing for any church ministry that has a sincere desire to reach out to a hurting confused world that is looking for answers and a reason to live, therefore even as I write this message, I have thoughts of a young lady that had several children but one evening, the young lady pulled into a church parking lot and ended her life because to her, she ran out of reasons to live.

Beloved, what happens to those who’ve just given their lives over to the Lord, and has the thought ever entered your mind, "did they really believe what they just prayed," or "will they be able to stand the onslaught that is surely coming?"

Beloved reader, can we agree that new converts that have just recently surrendered their life to Christ, cannot be expected to know what others know that have experienced the ups and downs that come to those who live by faith?

Beloved, this is why I felt inspired to write this message to better equip and prepare people interested in evangelism, to have something in their hand to offer people who have recently made a profession of faith.

Dear reader, this valuable teaching will help prepare them for the trials that lie ahead, and may God use this work to help strengthen and encourage those who are struggling in their pursuit of their faith to embrace the grace that is available to all who will call upon his blessed name?

Beloved, did you know that here are many today who claim that when they gave their life to Christ, all sinful cravings were instantly taken from them, and these people in their pride, tend to look down on others who are still struggling with some sinful habits as though they did not truly get saved?
