How to Share the Gospel Clearly

By A.M.


Gospel Message



You never know when you’ll get another chance to speak with someone about Christ, so prayerfully make sure you share the Gospel message rightly, truthfully, and simply. Here are the essentials you need to cover.


God’s Love for Everyone

The Bible says that God loves the world—He loves everyone. His love is for each one of His creation, and He longs to be in fellowship with us. (John 3:16)


Our Sin Problem

But we all have a sin problem.

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23)

Sin separates us from God’s love and access to Him. Because God is perfect and holy, He cannot fellowship where there is sin. Where there is sin, there will be a life without God and an eternity apart from Him.

Since heaven is where God dwells, the Bible calls that eternal separation hell—and it is real.

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23)


We Need Jesus

We are helpless, born with a sin nature, and we cannot save ourselves.

But in His mercy and love, God made a way for us to be reconciled to Him. He sent Jesus to die on the cross for our sins—once for all. He took our place and paid the penalty we owed.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)

“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)


Action Step: Trust and Change Your Mind

What we need to do is put our faith in the finished work and sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.” (Ephesians 2:8–9)

Repentance means changing your mind—acknowledging that you need saving and that only Christ can save you. Stop trying to earn your way to heaven and put your full trust, faith, and reliance on Christ’s redemptive work on the Cross.


What to Say When Sharing the Gospel

You could say something like:

“God loves you and wants a relationship with you. But the Bible says that all of us have sinned and fallen short, and that the result of sin is death—eternal separation from God. We are helpless and cannot save ourselves. But in His mercy and love, God sent His Son, Jesus, to die for our sins, in our place, and save us from an eternity without Him in hell. The Bible says salvation is a gift—received by putting your full trust, faith, and reliance in who Jesus is and what He’s already done on the cross for you. If you’re ready to stop trying to earn your way to heaven and simply trust in Him, tell Him that right now and accept God’s free gift of salvation through Jesus’ sacrifice.”


How to Share the Gospel Through Prayer

Sometimes it’s easier to gently share the Gospel by offering to pray for someone. A simple prayer can open the door without pressure.


You could say:

“Would it be okay if I pray for you for a moment?”


Then pray something like:

God,

I thank You for the chance to pray for [name]. May Your love, guidance, and blessing be upon them. Your Word says that even though we sin and fall short, You love us so much that You sent Your Son, Jesus, to die on the cross to save us from a life eternally doomed and separated from You. What we need to do is stop trusting in what we can do and instead put our full faith and trust in the finished and atoning sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. Thank You for the sure promise that the moment we do, we enter into a permanent relationship with You—secure in this life and for eternity in heaven—because You have said that no one can take Your child out of Your hand and that Your love remains for Your children, even when we fail.


Leave Them With an Assurance

It’s helpful to provide scriptures they can reflect on later—verses that point to our need for a Savior, salvation through Christ, and security in Him.

You could even hand them a simple Scripture card they can keep, like this one you can print and share.

Container Gardening: Planting KangKong in Pots (Water Spinach)

By A.M.
Kang kong is a well-known leafy vegetable used in many Philippine dishes. It is quite easy to grow they say. There was a time when you can find kangkong patches on most streets in the neighborhood. It is also called water spinach or swamp cabbage. It thrives in wet, moist areas. Many grow it solely in water. It quickly grows under sunny spots but carers should keep the soil moist. Else, it may die. Some tips: Not much intstructions on planting. Just bury the seed and keep the soil moist or muddy.  Kangkong grows all year round. Cut maybe an inch or two above the soil for continued regrowth and harvesting. Winter may see your plant dying but often, it regrows by spring. You may fertilize with nitrogen twice a month. You may harvest whole plants at about 1 to 2 months. Kangkong has the tendency to spread. Grow in a container for easy maintenance or harvest whole plants to control your supply. It is best to use potting soil for your containers. Putting regular soil in res...

Why Am I Sleepy During the Day?

By A.M.
What's causing your eyes and brain to shut down during the day? Why can't you keep your eyes open just when you really need to get some work or reading done? If you’ve been asking yourself, “ Why am I sleepy during the day ?” or struggling with that mid-morning or afternoon crash, you’re not alone. Millions of people deal with daytime sleepiness that makes it hard to focus, stay productive, or even enjoy daily activities. The good news? Most causes are simple and fixable once you know what’s behind that drowsy feeling. Too Many Carbs – A Common Cause of Daytime Fatigue If you're not careful, you can over-consume carbohydrates. And when you're takin in more carbohydrates than you can burn, you will get sleepy. Dr. Libby says it's either because your insulin levels are high or you might be gluten intolerant. Eat pasta, bread, potatoes and rice in moderation and space them properly. Studies show that a meal high in refined carbs can spike your blood sugar, followe...

Choose Gratitude!

By A.M.
Gratitude is how you deal with worry and anxiety. Gratitude helps you get over yourself. As Christians, we are called to practice gratitude every moment, not just when life is going smoothly but especially in the hard moments. Gratitude anchors our hearts to God’s faithfulness and reminds us that we are never alone. Gratitude Helps Us See Beyond Ourselves Somewhere in the world, in this very moment, someone is dying without Jesus. Someone is living it tough. They’re without hope, unaware that God is nearby, ready to save. As followers of Christ, cultivating a heart of gratitude keeps us sensitive to these realities, pushing us to pray, share the Gospel, and love others intentionally. It also moves us to keep appreciating our salvation and security in Christ, now and whatever happens in the future. People are out there, wrestling with the purpose of life. They have never known the presence and loving touch of the One True God. They have yet to experience a relationship with the Only ...
