When you begin to turn any conversation toward God, you will either be “invited into the chariot,” so to speak, to have a full Gospel conversation—or you will not be invited.
Don’t force someone to have the Gospel conversation. Ask for their permission. I find most people are at least willing to talk about it if you’re kind and have shown a genuine interest in them.
4. Share the Gospel.
Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus. (Acts 8:35)
This is when you share the whole story of the Gospel. At Dare 2 Share, we use an acrostic that spells this out clearly:
God created us to be with Him.
Our sins separate us from God.
Sins cannot be removed by good deeds.
Paying the price for sin, Jesus died and rose again.
Everyone who trusts in Him alone has eternal life.
Life with Jesus starts now and lasts forever.
However you explain the Gospel, make sure to focus on the cross, the resurrection, and faith alone in Jesus alone for salvation.
5. Start the Discipleship.
Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and Philip baptized him. (Acts 8:38)
Don’t just lead someone to Jesus. Do your best to get them plugged into a church and baptized. Baptism doesn’t save them, but it does brand them as a follower of Jesus.
