HOW TO SHARE?
You must memorise these 6 Key verses1)
The Fact of Sin· Romans 3:23 -for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
· What is sin? – Things like lying, stealing, Lust..... ( you can use yourself as an example to explain that all have sin) (E.g.
. Christian: “Hey, I tell you something, last time I always steal my parents and end up lying to them that i didn’t took it. And that is actually sin. And so we are actually all sinners.”)
· By using your story as an example, the non-believer can better understand what exactly is sin
· Never accuse your friend on any particular sin (e.g. . Christian: “hey, john (non-believer) I heard that you always like to steal things from others right? Ha-ha, don’t think I don’t know, and stealing is a sin”)......... This might be offensive to your friend whom you are sharing to.
· Be tactful!!
2) The Penalty of Sin
· Romans 6:23- For the Wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
· we need to explain the word “eternal life”
· Eternal life- Spending the rest of your life with God after you die
· So where do you want to be after you die? Hell? Heaven?
3) The Judgement is certain
· Hebrews 9:27 - And just as people are appointed to die once, and then to face judgment
· “God is going to Judge you for the things you ddi”
4) Christ Paid the Penalty
· Romans 5:8- But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us
· Ask your friends this question: “ will you die for me?” ... sure you will receive a NO,
· “ But Jesus actually died for all man-kind to cleanse away all our sins”
5) Salvation is a free gift
· Eph 2:8-9 - For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.
6) You must accept Jesus Christ
· John 1:12- Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God

Ø During the whole sharing you can add in your own testimony
Ø Be Flexible in sharing – never try to force the Gospel down their throat. Just do your best and leave the rest to God. God is the one who draws
Ø Be clear on what you are sharing- do not jump your points every where
Ø Use terms in which your friends can understand. Some Christian words/ terms may be difficult for them to understand. Words like, cellgroup, service, fellowship. Your friend may not understand what is the service that you are talking about. EXPLAIN!
ØFind a suitable place – a place which is quiet and ideal to share
