How to Use the Ten Commandments in Witnessing

This should be done in a spirit of love and gentleness:

"Do you think you have kept the Ten Commandments? Have you ever told a lie (including 'white lies,' half-truths, exaggerations, etc.)? If you have, then you are a 'liar,' and you cannot enter the kingdom of God. Have you ever stolen (the value is irrelevant), then you are a thief. Jesus said that if you looked with lust, you have committed adultery in your heart. If you hate someone, then you have committed murder in your heart. God requires truth 'in the inward parts' - He sees even the thought-life.

"Have you loved God above all else? Has He always been first in your affections? Have you made a 'god' to suit yourself (having your own beliefs about God)? That is called idolatry, and the Bible warns that no idolater will enter the kingdom of God. Have you ever used God's holy name to curse, or been greedy? Have you kept the Sabbath holy? Have you always implicitly honored your parents? Have you broken any of the Ten Commandments?

"Knowing that God has seen your thought-life and every deed done in darkness, will you be innocent or guilty on Judgment Day? You know you will be guilty. Do will you end up in heaven or hell?"

The Law brings individuals to a point of seeing that they have sinned against God - that His wrath abides on them. It causes them to see that their own "goodness" can't save them. It stops their mouth of justification (Romans 3:19), and prepares the heart for the good news of the gospel:

"The only thing you can do to be saved from His wrath is to repent and put your faith in the Savior, Jesus Christ. When He died on the cross, He took the punishment for our sins. He, once and for all, stepped into the Courtroom and completely paid the fine for us. Then He rose from the dead, defeating death. If you want to be saved from God's wrath, confess and forsake your sins, put your faith in Jesus for your eternal salvation, and you will pass from death into life. Then read the Bible daily and obey what you read (see John 14:21). God will never let you down."
