another excerpt about One-Another ministry

Please visit www.biblicalmentor.com to learn more about the full content of the Biblical Mentor training course we offer.
Here is another brief excerpt:

As you do Life On Life with someone applying the One-Anothers of Scripture with her, you will find that there will be many opportunities to share hope. Women and girls struggle in all kinds of areas. You are likely to bump into some of these struggles if you have any kind of ministry, family life, or social life. Once you are fairly certain that someone has grasped the Gospel for salvation, the help you give her from there is to help her to see the need for and ability to APPLY the Gospel to her life. You want to always be sure that you are not giving her the idea that she needs to change her behavior or mindset in order to earn approval, acceptance, or even worse, salvation. Always emphasize her eternal security; struggling people often struggle to believe this Truth. Remind her of her identity in Christ and how He views her. It is not because she earned it, but because of the Gospel — His finished work on her behalf.
Future lessons will help you to know how to share hope with others; you will want to recall the phrase “APPLY THE GOSPEL.” It will direct you in your help towards others, assuring you are always Christ-focused and sticking to Biblical principles.
Don’t worry if this concept is not clear or foreign to you. As you study more week by week about doing Life On Life, sharing hope with others, and applying the One-Anothers, it will become your most common “tool” in your conversations.
