How to explain the gospel message clearly and simply
The gospel message is the good news that Jesus Christ came to earth to die on the cross for our sins and rose from the dead three days later. Through him, we can have forgiveness of sins and eternal life with God. To explain this clearly, use simple language and tell the story of Jesus in a way that is easy to understand.
To explain the gospel message clearly and simply, it is important to know the gospel message thoroughly. With the help of the Holy Spirit, as you preach the gospel, you will recall everything you have read and learned.
It is not reasonable to expect yourself to do this flawlessly, nor is that the goal! Thankfully, even if you stumble over your words or mess up, the Holy Spirit is in charge of opening up the listener’s heart to hear the truth. Pray over the Bible as you read it and ask God to make the words easy to recall so you can share them with others when you have the chance.
Do not rush through sharing the gospel with someone. Take your time, asking them questions to make sure they are understanding. You can even pull up the Bible on your phone and read parts of it together! Remember, God’s Word is living and active (Hebrews 4:12) and it will move your friend’s heart to listen and respond.

"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
Matthew 28:19-20
​
"How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher?"
​
"Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction."
