This gospel sharing outline is adapted from Coral Ridge's Evangelism Explosion. It follows a helpful memory acrostic on the word "question." I came up with the acrostic. Hope you like it. Q Questions: 1. Have you come to the place in your spiritual life that you know for certain you have eternal life? 2. Hypothetically speaking, if you were to pass away this evening and stand before God, on what grounds would you appeal to, for God to let you into heaven? U Undeserved Eph.2:8-9 Heaven is not able to be earned, it is gift of God, undeserved. E Everyone Everyone falls short of God's moral and just standards, and merits nothing from God. Rom 3:23, indeed that whole section of Rom 3 This is what the Bible means by our all being sinners. S Sovereign Lord Our Sovereign Creator is LOVE. 1John 4:7-8 God is also Holy and Just and must punish sin. Ezekiel 18 T Truth and Life Jesus said He was the Way the Truth and the Life. He led a morally perfect life. He was God among us. He took the punishment we deserved on the Cross. And He conquored death. 1Cor 15:1-4 I Involvement How does one make the connection between what Jesus has done FOR us, and our inability to merit anything? The answer is what the Bible calls a living "faith". We transfer our trust from ourselves to Jesus alone to rescue us, and to change us from the inside out. We give all of we know of ourselves to all of we know of Jesus, to do with as He pleases. John 3:16, Hebrews 11, Galatians 2:16 O Outcome The outcome is that Jesus will keep His promise in John 1:12, John 6 and elsewhere to come into our lives at the core, and make us His children, and never leave or forsake us. N Nurture Like any new relationship we need to grow in our understanding of the One we love. We do this by talking to (Prayer) and listening (reading the New Testament for a start) to each other. Telling others about our new relationship and getting to know each other's circle of friends. The former my be a challenge at first, but just be honest. The latter involves getting involved with other Believers in Jesus. These things (Prayer), (Bible reading), (Sharing with others about Jesus), and (Being in intentional relationship with other Believers in Jesus) will help your relationship with Jesus to grow and deepen.
