show an understanding of the gospel message by writing out two different approaches to gospel presentations. You will also interview a non-Christian asking them important questions that can help to prepare a person to hear the gospel message (I Peter 3:15). Sharing the gospel (#10 below) is optional but encouraged.
M: Man (Humanity)
Humanity has sinned by disobeying God's commands and choosing our own way. This is called sin.
Sin separates us from a holy God, and the consequence of sin is death (spiritual and eternal separation).
We cannot fix this problem or earn our way back to God on our own.
Key verse: "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)
C: Christ
Because God loves us, He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, who is fully God and fully man.
Jesus lived a perfect, sinless life and then voluntarily died on the cross, taking the punishment for our sin.
He rose again from the dead, proving He conquered sin and death.
Key verse: "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23)
That's a great request! The gospel message—the good news about Jesus Christ—is central to Christian faith, and having different ways to present it is very helpful.
Here are two distinct approaches to presenting the gospel, followed by questions for interviewing a non-Christian.
This is a structural and logical way to present the gospel, focusing on four key components.
G: God
