When speaking to someone for the first time about the Gospel there are four steps that I strongly suggest:
1. Start a conversation on how we are all created by God and we are all His creation and He actually loves us first.
2. Explain to your friend that sin enters the world, and we are all born sinners, and that sin divides us from our relationship with God.
3. However, God shows us, Love, by coming to the world and sending His son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins. But He rose on the third day and gave us hope. The cross is the bridge between us and God. Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
4. The last step is to ask the question “Would you like to accept Jesus as your savior and would you allow me to pray for you?”
These steps are great to follow, but remember that the best way to reach anyone is to Act Like Christ. Walk like Him, talk like Him, and love like Him. May the Holy Spirit give you Boldness!

Prayer: Dear Lord, help me every single morning to find faith in the midst of the chaos. Give me the desire and ability to see You, hear You, talk to You, and give thanks to You. I desire to share my faith with others around me. Thank you, Jesus, amen.
