Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”
We cannot share the Gospel without pointing to the Gospel. While there are many scriptures that help us explain the Good News to others, here are a few that I have found work well: Romans 6:23, “The gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Romans 3:23, “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
The Bible states that man is a sinner. Sin is anything that falls short of God’s perfect standard: an action, a word, a thought, an attitude. Because we are sinners, we cannot save ourselves.
