Break big ideas down, and go step-by-step. Not every‘ Gospel seed’ you plant will grow right away. Not every person will be willing or ready to hear about Christ. Once they know that God loves them, you can explain to them that God sent Jesus, his son, to save us from sin. It’ s all about how Christ came to crush sin in order to save us.” Expect questions and check for confusion. Invite your friend to talk again later, and maybe introduce them to your pastor or youth leader who can also explain things. It may take hours, months, or years … but we can rely on God as we share His awesome love with others!

When we follow God’ s plan, we get to know
Him better and better.

Mark 12:30: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength
Galatians 5:14: For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command:“ Love your neighbor as
