What is the Biblical model of evangelism? What is the difference between our role and God’s role? In this series, we outline the foundations of evangelism. How to present the gospel is outlined below using a gospel presentation called the Come Home presentation from Will Metzger’s book, Tell the Truth.
The Come Home Presentation
The place to begin when sharing the gospel is with God. God is the maker, love-giver, and rule-maker. The first point of the come-home presentation is all about who God is.
What does it mean to live life to its fullest? The answer is life equals God-centered living. That’s the second point in the come-home presentation. Life is God-centered living.
This article continues our series on how to share the gospel so far we’ve established that because God is our creator, our owner, we are accountable to follow his instructions for a life centered on Him. Yet we are incapable of reaching God’s standards.

We need a mediator to satisfy God’s righteous demands and to pay the penalty of guilt that we have incurred. That mediator is Jesus. He alone keeps the rules of life and takes the punishment for our sin. And that’s what we are talking about in this article.
In this article, we cover three possible responses people can have to the gospel and the value of practicing a gospel presentation either with a close friend or family member and even a trusted Christian.
