When we become a child of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, we become responsible to tell others about Christ.  Someone has said that John 3:16 is the gospel in a “nutshell.”  Memorize the verse and be prepared to share your faith with others.

1.  Circle keywords or phrases in the following Scriptures.

Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." Matthew 4:19 (NIV)

In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16 (NIV)

But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 1 Peter 3:15 (NIV)

For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard." They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved-- you and your household.".  Acts 4:20; 16:31 (NIV)

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." Acts 1:8 (NIV)

We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. 2 Corinthians 5:20 (NIV)
