Today I was wanting to share with everybody the one verse diagram we share when we go out and do beach evangelism. Beach evangelism was probably one of the most terrifying things I've ever done. I was super nervous and I wasn't really sure what to expect from people. Lucky for me I got paired with my D-group leader Michelle, who is an experienced veteran is sharing this diagram. Being paired with her made me a little less nervous because I knew she would ease my nerves and really help me and guide me. So we got to the beach and I was nervous but really excited to share Romans 6:23!! here is the diagram that we call the bridge diagram.
When we share this we start off by having the person read the verse aloud and then we break it down word by word. We start off with wages and talk about how a wage is something you earn, for example when you work you get paid a wage. You have to work in order to receive the wage. Then we go to sin and sin goes in the middle of the diagram because it separates us from God. Next is death, we discuss if they think it is a spiritual death or a physical death. Its a spiritual death because a spiritual death is a death apart from God. Then we talk about how a gift is free, a gift isn't something we have to pay or work for, for example we don't have to wash the car or do the dishes to get our birthday presents. Next is God and eternal life. Without God in your life you do not have eternal life. Then we ask them if they have or would like to receive Christ today. Most people either say they already have or some people will say no. This summer I hope I am able to lead someone to Christ just by sharing the bridge diagram with them.
In Christ,
Mary Kate
