       SHARE JESUS REVIEW

 

Optional Conversation Joggers

  1. May I ask you a question?
  2. What are the biggest problems women face today?
  3. What's your favorite sport? How much money would it take for a man's life to be perfect?
  4. Do you go to church anywhere?
  5. May I give you a five-question survey?
  6. You know about my spiritual beliefs, but I don't know about yours. What are they?
  7. Do you ever feel uncertain about what you are depending on spiritually for hope in your life?
  8. Has anyone ever told you the difference between religion and a relationship with Jesus Christ?
  9. May I have your permission to share seven Scriptures that changed my life?
  10. How many people would it take flipping a quarter before one person hits heads thirty times in a row? (billions) One reason I believe the Bible is true is because of the thirty recorded prophecies of the birth, the death, and the resurrection of Jesus that have come true. That's a lot like landing heads thirty times in a row.
  11. Does truth matter to you?
  12. Has anyone ever explained Christianity to you?
  13. I need to ask your forgiveness. I have not told you about the most important thing in my life. I have not shared how you can have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and I want you to know I'm so sorry.
  14. You know, I've had many problems as well, but I've found a solution for my pain.

The Five Share Jesus Questions

These questions act as a funnel. You can start anywhere on the list, as you feel led, or skip straight to the “Share Jesus Scriptures.”

  1. Do you have any kind of spiritual belief?
  2. To you, who is Jesus?
  3. Do you think there is a heaven or a hell?
  4. If you died tonight, where would you go? If heaven, why?
  5. By the way, if what you were believing is not true, would you want to know?

Note: You might ask at this point: “May I share some Scriptures with you?” If the answer is yes, open your Bible to the next phase. If the answer is no, do nothing. But remember you have not failed. You have been obedient to share the gospel, and the results belong to God.

The Share Jesus Scriptures

Note: Ask your friend to read the verse aloud. Next, ask him, “What does this say to you?” If your friend gives an incorrect answer, say, “Read it again.” Continue this process, until your friend understands the Scripture.

1. Romans 3:23—“All have sinned.”

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”

What does this say to you?

 

2. Romans 6:23—“Wages of sin is death.”

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

What does this say to you?

 

3. John 3:3—“Must be born again.”

“In reply Jesus declared, ‘I tell you the truth, unless a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.’”

Why did Jesus come to die?

 

4. John 14:6—“I'm the way.”

“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’”

What does this say to you?

 

5. Romans 10:9–11—“If you confess.”

“That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says, ‘Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.’”

What does this say to you?

 

6. 2 Corinthians 5:15—“No longer live for themselves.”

“And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.”

What does this say to you?

 

7. Revelation 3:20—“Here I am standing at your door.”

“‘Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.’”

What does this say to you?

 

The Five Commitment Questions

  1. Are you a sinner?
  2. Do you want forgiveness of sins?
  3. Do you believe Jesus Christ died on the cross for you and rose again?
  4. Are you willing to surrender your life to Jesus Christ?
  5. Are you ready to invite Jesus Christ into your life and into your heart?

Sinner's Prayer

Heavenly Father, I have sinned against you. I want forgiveness for all my sins. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for me and rose again. Father, I give you my life to do with as you wish. I want Jesus Christ to come into my life and into my heart. This I ask in Jesus' name. Amen.
