All this is evidence that God’s judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering. God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels. He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you. 2^nd Thess 1:5-10 NIV

Dear Lord, even though I know what your Word says, I have not been as bold as I know you want me to be in sharing the gospel with the lost. I fear I will say the wrong thing, not know what to say or will be rejected. Please help me to overcome my fears. Help me to learn the basics of sharing the gospel in words so they can hear and believe. Help me to trust your Word when it says you will give me the words to say. Give me the heart and compassion of Christ for the lost to motivate me to share your life and forgiveness with anyone at any time. Help me Lord, before it is too late. Please give me opportunity and boldness each and every day to share the good news. In Jesus name, amen.

The full gospel is presented by Paul in 1 Cor 15:3-8. Belief in what Paul states in these verses is what saves us.

HERE is a simple, powerful and non-confrontational way to share the gospel.

HERE is a free e-book that goes over the evidence, written to lead unbelievers to Christ.

Many more New Covenant Bible Studies HERE. Jesus poured out His blood for the New Covenant of grace and truth, replacing the Old Covenant law of Moses. Believers are exclusively under the New Covenant, the last will and testament of Jesus that began after the cross. 

And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood.” Luke 22:20
