Note: For all those dear saints at Shepherd's Fellowship who labor with us in reaching Greensboro with the glorious gospel, what follows is a list of memory verses designed to help you become a better tool in the hands of the Holy Spirit in evangelism.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 – The unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
Matthew 5:27-28 – Whoever looks at another person with lust commits adultery in their heart.

1 John 1:8-9 – If you say you haven’t sinned you’re a liar. If you confess them to God, you’ll be forgiven through Christ.
Acts 17:30-31 – God commands all people everywhere to repent because He’s going to judge the world by Jesus Christ, whom He raised from the dead.
Acts 4:12 – Salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone and no other religious leader.
Isaiah 53:5-6 – Jesus bore the wrath due to sinners on the cross (He paid the fine they couldn’t pay).
Luke 18:13-14 – A genuine prayer of repentance.
What about the Ten Commandments? The Ten Commandments are the summary of the covenant document given specifically to the nation of Israel (Ex. 34:28; Deut. 4:13). Christians aren’t under the Mosaic Law, but are under the law of Christ (1 Cor. 9:20-21; 2 Cor. 3; Gal. 6:2; Heb. 8:13). Nine of the Ten Commandments are brought over into the New Covenant and have become part of the law of Christ (cf. Matt. 5:21-22; 27-28; 31-32; 44-45; John 13:34; Eph. 5:1-5; Rom. 7:7-9; 13:8-10; Eph 6:1-4; 1 Tim. 1:8-10). The only exception is the Fourth Commandment or the Sabbath, which was fulfilled in Jesus as our Sabbath rest (cf. Acts 15:28-29; Rom. 14:5-6a; Gal. 4:21-31; Col. 2:16-17; Heb. 4:1-10). Thus, don’t take a lost person to Exodus 20 to show them their sin; take them to Christ’s law.
