How do you explain God's story when you only have a few moments? Here is a verse and a little picture that can help you talk to people about God. This works best after you have built a relationship with someone and they're curious or asking questions. You can draw this for them or even just share the concepts.
Try memorizing this verse from Romans 6:23 and the picture/steps/drawing below:
Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
The picture shows the the verse...because we've all messed up (sin) we don't deserve (wages) to be with God. Our sin separate us from God and we deserve hell (death). But God gives us what we don't deserve (gift). God offers us life here on earth and forever in heaven in a relationship with Him. And it's all through Jesus and what he did on the cross. The cross bridges the gap between us and God if we are willing to trust that Jesus as our Savior and Leader in life.
Mark shared the drawing at The Agency and also talked about the 4 "R's". We are designed to be in a relationship with Jesus. But our sin ruined it. The grace of the cross can restore us - if we respond to Jesus.
I hope these tools can be helpful to keep your thoughts focused in those times when you have just a few moments to share. You can draw the picture or share the verse and concepts about God's story and love for us.
