Share the Gospel.

You don't need all the answers. You need the Gospel and a few good questions. Here's how I'm learning to do it.

The whole message

Jesus took 100%.
There's 0 left for you.

Everything below is just helping someone see that for themselves. Ask, don't preach. Let them answer.

Before the steps

There's no perfect script.

There's no one correct way to share the Gospel. God is the one who saves, and He gives the growth. The steps below aren't a formula. They're just a helpful way to walk someone through it.

"I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth."1 Corinthians 3:6

Questions get them thinking. When someone answers for themselves, they see it for themselves. Jesus asked questions all the time.

"He said to them, 'But who do you say that I am?'"Matthew 16:15

Answers clear the way. Sometimes a hard question or a wrong idea is in the way. A clear answer from the Bible helps them get past it.

"always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect"1 Peter 3:15

The walk-through

6 questions.

1
Step 1 of 6

Where do they stand?

You ask
"What do you think happens when we die? Where do you think you'll go?"
They might say
"Heaven, I think. I'm a pretty good person."
You say
"Can I ask you a few quick questions to test that?"
Why

You find out what they're trusting. Most people are trusting their own goodness.

"Many a man proclaims his own steadfast love, but a faithful man who can find?"Proverbs 20:6

Step 2 of 6

The good person test

You ask
"Have you ever told a lie? Used bad language? Been angry at someone?"
They might say
"Yeah, everyone has."
You say
"Me too. So by God's standard, are we good people?"
Why

Don't accuse. Ask. Their own conscience already knows the answer.

"They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness"Romans 2:15

Step 3 of 6

Guilty or innocent?

You ask
"If God judged you by those things, would you be innocent or guilty?"
They might say
"Innocent. I'm not that bad."
You say
"Innocent means never doing anything wrong, not even once. So which one are we?"
Why

Let them say "guilty" themselves. It lands differently when it's their own answer.

"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"Romans 3:23

Step 4 of 6

What does guilty deserve?

You ask
"If someone is guilty, do they deserve a reward or a punishment?"
They might say
"Punishment, I guess."
You say
"Right. A good judge can't let crimes go. The Bible says the punishment for sin is hell."
Why

The good news only makes sense once they see the bad news.

"For the wages of sin is death"Romans 6:23

Step 5 of 6

Jesus paid 100%

You ask
"Say you're in court, guilty, and someone walks in and pays your whole fine. Can the judge still punish you?"
They might say
"No. It's already paid."
You say
"That's what Jesus did. He took 100% of our hell punishment on the cross, and rose again. If He took 100%, how much is left for you?"
Why

The courtroom picture makes it click. Let them say "none" out loud.

"He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree"1 Peter 2:24

Step 6 of 6

Check they got it

You ask
"So if God asked you, 'Why should I let you into heaven?', what would you say?"
They might say
"Because I try to be a good person."
You say
"If your good works pay part of it, then Jesus didn't take 100%. So what's the only reason?"
Why

Don't move on until they get it. When their answer is "Because Jesus took 100% of my punishment," they understand the Gospel.

"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast."Ephesians 2:8-9

When they push back

Hard questions.

These come up a lot. Each one opens a short answer you can read or send.

"Isn't that too easy?"It's free for you. It wasn't cheap for Jesus. "What if I trust Jesus and my good works?"Then you're not fully trusting Jesus. "Isn't asking for forgiveness enough?"It's good to do, but it doesn't pay the fine. "Don't I need to be baptized?"Baptism doesn't save you. Jesus does. "Why would a loving God send people to hell?"Because He's also a good judge. "Is Jesus really the only way?"Yes. Jesus said so Himself.
Heart check

Before you start.

  • The person comes first.Every chat is a soul, not a debate to win. Be kind, even when they're not.
  • Ask, then listen.Let them answer. Silence is okay. Questions do more than speeches.
  • "I don't know" is allowed.If they ask something you can't answer, say so, and go find it in the Bible.
  • God saves. You just share.You're not responsible for the result. Just be faithful.
