Explain the Gospel

“How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?”
Romans 10:14 NIV

If an opportunity arises, explaining the Gospel to a non-Christian is one of the most meaningful ways to share your faith. The Gospel is the good news that Jesus has made a way for humanity to be reconciled with God, offering forgiveness, peace, and eternal life. But for many, sharing it can feel intimidating. What if we get it wrong? What if they don’t respond?

The truth is, sharing the Gospel isn’t about eloquence—it’s about faithfulness. Romans 10:14 reminds us that people need to hear about Jesus to believe in Him. God calls us to be messengers, trusting that He will work through our efforts to draw people to Himself.

The Gospel can be shared through four key points:

1. God’s Position: God loves us and created us to have a relationship with Him (John 3:16).
2. Our Problem: Sin separates us from God, and we cannot fix this brokenness on our own (Romans 3:23).
3. God’s Provision: Jesus’ death and resurrection bridge the gap, offering forgiveness and new life (Romans 5:8).
4. Our Part: We respond to Jesus by repenting, believing in Him, and following Him (Acts 2:38).

You don’t need a perfect presentation—just a heart willing to share, and a reliance on the Holy Spirit.

As you think about sharing the Gospel, pray for opportunities to share it with someone in your life. Ask God to give you clarity, boldness, and compassion as you tell them about His love.

Who in your life needs to hear the Gospel, and how can you share it with them this week?

Pray:

Lord, Your Gospel is the power of salvation for all who believe. Give me clarity and confidence to explain Your love and truth in simple, relatable ways. Help me trust the Holy Spirit to guide my words and soften hearts. Let my conversations reflect Your grace and lead others closer to accepting the hope found in You. Amen.
