in case it's been a while since you last shared

Here are some tips for sharing the Gospel with someone in a concise way that draws on familiar, easy-to-remember Bible verses to walk through the problem and solution of sin. This is not the best way I can imagine, but it’s a way I could imagine myself naturally working through the most crucial elements of God’s redemptive plan in less than 5 minutes.

The goal of Part 1 is to lead the person to an understanding and acceptance of their sin and the consequences before God for it. The goal of Part 2 is to present God’s solution to the person’s sin, His one and only Son and that accepting/receiving this gift involves taking steps to follow Him in obedience by His Spirit.

You should see the contrast between Sin/Son, Sentence/Solution, Seperation/Sanctification naturally being played off of one another.

If it helps, great!
If not, use whatever works best for you.
Take it. Leave it. Modify it.

The point is: Share the Good News like it's Good News that you want to share!!!
