How to simply share the gospel…
There are many ways to share the gospel… We have included four here we use all the time…
With a Gospel tract…
Gospel Tracts are an easy way to share the Gospel. You just find a good one and hand them out.
Be sure to have contact information on the back. Your church or a ministry group is fine. But if you
connect with a person and feel comfortable doing so, your personal information is best. Your name,
Email address, and again if comfortable even your phone number. Invite them to join you at church
next Sunday if you can.
With a penny…
Did you know you can share the gospel with objects? Here’s how to do it with a penny…
What does it say across the top front of that penny? (In God We Trust) That’s a statement of faith.
The statement of faith this country was founded on. Without trust in God we are destined for Hell!
What is the word behind Mr. Lincoln’s head? (Liberty) Liberty is freedom.
Through the Blood of Jesus Christ we can have liberty from our sins.
Did you notice that the penny only has one date? It’s not saved… For if it would have been born again it would have two dates.
Born once and you die two deaths, physical and spiritual…But if you are born twice, physical and again in Jesus you only die once
and then spend eternity in Heaven.
Turn the penny over. Near the top it says “E. Pluribus Unum”. Do you know what that means? It’s Latin for “One of Many”.
Matthew 24 tells us many will come claiming they are the way. But if you look towards the bottom of that penny, what does it say?
“One Cent” Just “One” was sent from the “God We Trust” to give us “Liberty” from our sins through His son Jesus Christ.
Allowing us a “Second birth” and eternity in Heaven.
You keep this penny. Accept it as a free gift just like salvation is from our Lord. In order for a gift to do you any good, you must
receive it. So put this penny in your pocket and anytime you see a penny remember the gift Jesus gave for us…
With the power bands…
Power bands are inexpensive arm bracelets we make with a string or piece of leather lace and some
small colored beads… String the beads in the following order. Black, Red, White, Gold, Green…
The verses and story to each bead… (This is just a guideline. Feel free to change it to share your testimony.)
The Black bead… Romans 3:23 says… Everyone has sin in their lives and falls short of the Glory of God.
Romans 6:23 The wages of sin is death. But! God offers the gift of eternal life in Jesus Christ.
The Red bead… Romans 5:8 Even though we are shameful sinners, God loves us so much that He sent His son
Jesus to suffer, shed His blood, and ultimately die on the cross for our sins.
Ephesians 1:7 tells us that in Jesus Christ we have redemption, through His blood we have forgiveness of our sins.
The White bead… Isaiah 1:18 Tells us that through the Blood of Jesus our sins are washed white as snow.
The Gold bead… John 14:2 Shares the promise of a place for us in heaven. (Streets of Gold)
The Green bead… 2 Peter 1:18 Grow in the Grace and Knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Study the bible)
With your Bible
Pick the method you prefer to share the gospel… Some like the “Romans Road” some like to share
from John. You could use the verses from the power band. It doesn’t matter which method you choose.
Start by looking up your first verse in the bible you plan to use to witness with. Small and portable maybe a
good consideration so you can have it with you, but try to find something with a fairly good sized font. Remember
you are sharing. I like inexpensive new testaments that I can give them to keep when we are done.
When you have looked up the first verse highlight it… Then, look at the page number and write that in the front
of the bible. It’s just a quick reference in a corner somewhere out of the way. Now hold that first verse page and
look up the second verse. Again highlight it and then write the page number of the second verse on the page where
the first verse is. You got the idea, quick reference page numbers and easy to find verses. One other note… Some
people suggest writing the page numbers upside down at the top of the page and handing the bible to the person you are sharing with and let them look up the verses as you read off the page numbers.
Find whatever seems to work best for you… Share God’s blessing and His Word… Hope this helps…
