I was thinking about some basic points, on which most people is our society should agree. I stated these points succinctly and then quoted a few Bible verses that support these points. This can be shared with a non-believer, as a tool to persuade him to believe on Christ.
#1
Most people believe there is a God. Only a fool would deny God's existence.
Psalms 14:1
(1) ...The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Psalms 14:1
(1) ...The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Most people would agree that they have done something bad in their lifetime, which God calls sin.
Romans 3:23
(23) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

The Bible says we will give account for our sins.
Romans 14:12
(12) So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

Romans 14:12
(12) So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

But God offers forgiveness of sins through His Son, Jesus.
John 1:29
(29) The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

Since God says that the only way to be forgiven and to go to heaven is to make Christ the Lord of our life, then why don't more people get saved?
John 3:36
(36) He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
John 14:6
(6) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Acts 4:12
(12) Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Romans 10:9-11
(9) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
(10) For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
(11) For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

This brings us back to point number 1.
Psalms 14:1
(1) ...The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalms 14:1
(1) ...The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
