JESUS, (English), Parable of the Good Samaritan

Introduction

This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide based on the teachings from the Parable of the Good Samaritan, as presented in the video "JESUS". It explores themes of compassion, the nature of sin, and the path to spiritual fulfillment through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Understanding these concepts can help you apply them in your daily life and deepen your spiritual journey.

Step 1: Recognize the Nature of Sin

• Understand that sin separates us from God.
• Reflect on Romans 3:23, which states, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
• Acknowledge that both active rebellion and passive indifference towards God are forms of sin.

Step 2: Acknowledge the Consequences of Sin

• Realize that sin leads to spiritual death, as explained in Romans 6:23.
• Recognize that people often attempt to reach God through their own efforts, such as good deeds or philosophy, but these efforts are ultimately insufficient.

Step 3: Understand God’s Provision Through Jesus

• Learn that Jesus Christ is the only way to reconcile with God (John 14:6).
• Reflect on Romans 5:8, which states that Jesus died for our sins.
• Note that Jesus’ resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:3-6) signifies victory over sin and death.

Step 4: Receive Jesus Through Faith

• Understand that receiving Christ involves both repentance (turning from self) and faith (trusting in Christ).
• Recognize that merely agreeing intellectually with Jesus’ identity is not enough; a personal decision is required.

Step 5: Pray to Receive Christ

• Engage in prayer as a means to communicate with God.
• Here is a suggested prayer to invite Christ into your life:

  Lord Jesus, I need You. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of the throne of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be.
  

Step 6: Embrace the New Life in Christ

• Understand that upon receiving Christ, you experience a spiritual rebirth.
• Reflect on Revelation 3:20, where Jesus invites you to open the door of your heart to Him.
