Just be the wonderful person God made you to be, When / if he puts someone for you to help, talk to them and if they ask you questions answer them. Your example should work well. Help those you can when you can.

what kinds of questions do I need to ask for evangelizing?

1) When did you realise you were lost ?
2) Where do you go when you die ?
3) Do you consider yourself a good person ?

4) Did you know that going to heaven does not require anything else than believing in Christ?
5) Did you know that salvation is free gift ?

BONUS ) Who is this passage describing ? > Read Isaiah 53 > Tell them it was written 700 years prior to Christ


These are basic questions , choose maybe one of them then simply read the Bible if person is willing to listen to you . You don't have to ask much question simply let out the lion of Judah from your book he can defend himsef

Gospel is 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 then you lead with verses of your choice for example Romans 3:23>Romans 3:10> Ephesians 2:8-9 > Galatians 2:16 > Romans 3:24-25 > Hebrews 10:10-12 > John 5:24> John 3:18 >

What helps is that whenever you are given an opportunity to minister to someone about the Gospel directly, you initially circumvent whatever objections and questions they may have and preach the true Gospel exactly as Scripture reveals it. Don't do this subtly, rather even acknowledging that you want to begin by sharing what the Bible says about salvation and THEN proceed to whatever objections and questions they may have as obstacles to accepting it. If you are sincerely ignorant of the answer to their objection/question, humbly admit you can not provide it but find a source in advance you can direct them to that can (video, audio or personal consultation with someone well educated in the Scriptures who is experienced with evangelism and has evidence of love for the lost who can deliver the answers powerfully, persuasively and with genuine affection (which does not necessarily need to be delivered tenderly; even Jesus often spoke passionately stern but genuinely loving words)).

Do your best to avoid any misrepresentation of the Gospel, and if you believe you are in danger of contaminating it due to gaps in your understanding, then first gain a more comprehensive understanding of the Gospel yourself. Dangers of false conversions abound in messages that over-emphasize the grace of God or the wrath of God. You could minister a Gospel of works by which the grace of God is robbed of its power and your hearer is deceived into thinking they must ultimately save or sustain themselves in salvation; or you could minister a Gospel of license of immorality, and rob the Holy Spirit of His convicting power and of bringing the hearer to surrender in the new birth (being born again of the Spirit of God that comes from true faith). Anyone who tries to enter the Kingdom of God on the merits of their works will be rejected (Isaiah 64:6, Romans 3:10-20), and anyone who is not born-again of the Holy Spirit, being made a new creature which is created in Christ Jesus to do good works (Ephesians 2:10, the part often snipped out of many quotes of Ephesians 2:8-9) will be rejected (John 3:3, 1 John 3:5-10, the entire chapter of Jude).

To make a quick passing point for clarification, the relationship between salvation and works often seems confusing even to faithful believers, and much more often to unbelievers who continue to hear what seems either essentially works based salvation in a "change without a difference", or permission to sin and appeal irreverently and arrogantly to the blood of Christ (in the words of Jude, license for immorality). The simple reconciling point for why a believer is not saved nor sustained by works but can not be saved and not produce any good works is this: The new birth by the Holy Spirit, which is spiritual, but literal. Anyone born again of the Spirit of God can not make a practice of sinning (a critical distinction from falling into sin, which Christians will do, 1 John 1:8), not because they'll lose their salvation, but because it is ontologically (by nature) impossible because the Spirit of Christ indwells them and they now have a power working in them to will and to act according to God's good pleasure (Philippians 2:13) which 1 John 3:5-10 makes explicitly and abundantly clear.

So to not make this too much longer and burdensome to read, allow me to summarily suggest what you should do:

1. Present the Gospel with love and clarity and accuracy, then answer questions and objections, directing them to a responsible and adequate source for all you can't respond aptly to. Learn these four points of the Gospel the Bible clearly demonstrates:
  • God's holiness vs. man's wickedness (examples: Romans 3:10-20, Isaiah 64:6)
  • The insufficiency of the Law to save; the futility of being a "good person" after conviction (examples: Galatians 3:10, compared again with Romans 3:10-20 and 1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
  • The efficacy and exclusivity of salvation through faith in Christ because of His death on the cross (Romans 3:21-22, John 3:16-17, Romans 6:23, Romans 3:25-26, John 14:6. Acts 4:12)
  • The purpose and power of grace; this purpose being to save us not only from condemnation but for righteousness (Ephesians 2:10), which is accomplished by the power of the Holy Spirit effectuated in our new birth (being born again, John 3:3) (examples: 2 Corinthians 5:17, John 15:5-6, Acts 20:21, Luke 13:3, Matthew 7:21, etc.)
Be sure to emphasize the depth of the love and compassion of God in His paying the cost for lost and helpless sinners. Read and dwell on verses such as Romans 5:6, 8; Philippians 2:6-8, Colossians 1:19-20 and of course, John 3:16-17.

2. Share the Gospel and your friendship in a manner that follows after Christ, and do so naturally, according to your personality by the power of the Holy Spirit, leaving the rest to God. Continually study to equip yourself with the armour of God, which includes the boots of readiness to spread the Gospel and the sword of His Word (Ephesians 6:10-18) that you may be prepared in season and out of season (2 Timothy 4:2). God bless you, and I will be praying that God guide you.

Imagine that someone of a different belief system was trying to evangelize to you. How would you want them to respect you as the conversation went on? Show that same respect to the unbelievers. We have the message of life so that doesn't mean we keep it to ourselves, but we do the faith a disservice when we're acting like jerks as we witness - either intentionally or unintentionally.

A typical question might be: If you were to die and come before God and He were to ask you why you should be let into His Kingdom, what would you say?

Good one . I have heared multiple answers for this questions very few know the answer .

Far more important than knowing what questions to ask, as personal witnesses to Jesus Christ and the gospel, living our lives in a Christlike manor and treating others with a Christlike attitude is of upmost importance. The simple acts of showing kindness, love, and compassion towards those who are lost may be all it takes to eventually lead them to the Truth. Living by example is at the foundation and perhaps one of the most crucial components of our personal witness to Christ to others. Most everyone in the unbelieving world has heard about Jesus, some many times over, but they may not have seen Him in action even once.

“For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps” (1 Peter 2:21)

Every person is different and each individual requires an individual approach.

Do you know the person your wanting to speak to about the gospel?

If so, what do you think is appropriate to say? Your far closer to the person/situation than any of us are..

In most cases, giving your personal testimony is good. How did you come to salvation? How did that impact your life? Can you share that effectively?

Place emphasis on your testimony to help the person your speaking with.. such as if they are an ex-Catholic turned atheist (for example) perhaps emphasize your personal relationship with God. Or, if they are coming from another religion entirely emphasize how you came to know Christ as Lord and Savior..

Don't make them feel on the spot.. belief is a process.. even once someone is interested in learning more it can take years to come to a saving knowledge of Christ for some people..

I would share, and then leave the door open for them to contact you later with questions as they come up..No pressure and then it leaves the person with future help if or when they are ready for it.

But honestly, pray a LOT about whether YOU are ready. There is a reason new Christians aren't placed in charge of teaching in churches.. their heart may be full of zeal but the knowledge base isn't there as a new Christian, and dealing with people who aren't believers for some reason you DON'T want to become someone's stumbling block to salvation or an additional stumbling block.

Jesus taught his disciples for a long time before sending them out. Make sure your ready to be sent.

I don't know the Kpop singers and Kpop groups in real life. I only see them online and on TV. When I get a chance to study abroad in Seoul, South Korea, I'll meet them in person and envangelize.
