Summary: Willy was a minister in the United Kingdom, with 17 years in the pastorate and two theological degrees. He became the chairman of our evangelistic crusade in his city. During a pre-crusade retreat Willy said to me, "Luis listening to your Bible exposition, you seem to believe every word of Scripture. At my seminary we just figured the basic ideas were inspired, but not the words." Instantly, a red flag went up in my mind. So I asked, "Willy, do you have eternal life?" Willy said that about month ago two of our team members stayed at his house. Over dinner they talked a lot about eternal life. When he went to bed that night he asked his wife if she had eternal life. And she said, 'Willy, you know I don't. Do you?'" Well, before Willy and I had finished talking that day, he opened up his heart to Jesus. Do you know anyone like Willy who is religious, even clergy, but not sure if they have eternal life? Remember that even those who look religious on the outside might not have a relationship with Jesus on the inside. Be gentle, be humble, but do ask, "Do you have assurance of eternal life?" It's a question that opens great conversation. Show your friends how they can have the assurance of eternal life.
