The Christian life is a gift from God, but to share the gospel with others is to allow them (family and friends) to enjoy the same gift that we have! These short segments will allow you to focus on one aspect of God and His Word (or gospel, also known as the Bible). Sometimes we feel reluctant to share with others because we are not sure what to say or we might feel timid about it. Jesus was clear about this but also provided some solace:
“Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:19-20).
The goal of these segments is to present one of them with someone you know to begin a conversation. This is a good start for sharing the gospel with someone you know.
What effect does sin have on a person’s soul for all eternity? What do you think happens to us (i.e. our souls) once our physical bodies die? I think we can all agree that these are important questions. We think it is important enough to consider what happens to us each and every day of our lives; after all, that is how we describe our existence. But eternity? Do our souls have a place in

We cannot have any fellowship with God
God’s principle for living the Christian life involves both Christians and non-Christians. Spending time with other Christians provides encouragement to them while at the same time, gaining encouragement for oneself. Hebrews 10:24-25 tells us, “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another – and all the more as you see
When you meet someone you love, aren’t you interested in what they have to say? So it is with our relationship with Jesus Christ. We know from John 1:1 that Jesus Christ is the Word of God who became flesh. John 1:1 also says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Since God’s Word is authoritative, it should be treated as such in our lives.
The first part of a relationship with God is prayer. Prayer is how we communicate with God. It is a communication using our hearts. When we first come to God in a relationship with Him, we pray. We ask Him for forgiveness for our sins and we tell Him that we want to trust Him as the Lord of our lives. Sometimes we verbalize our prayers to God, but many times we think them from
