Knowing, quoting, and showing scripture is extremely important. In John
5:39, Jesus said "...the scriptures...testify of me." Acts 18:28 says Apollos
"...mightily convinced the Jews...shewing by the scriptures that Jesus
was Christ."

2 Timothy 3:15 "...the holy scriptures...are able to make thee wise unto
salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus."

James 1:21 "...receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able
to save your souls."

Romans 10:17 "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the

word of God."

1 Peter 1:23 "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of
incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever."

Ideally, show scripture directly from a Bible, not quoting all from memory or
reading off a tract. Reading straight from a Bible in your hand shows you

have the infallible AUTHORITY of GOD and not just a man's opinion. At
least on key verses, position your Bible towards them, and point to the verse
so they can read it along with you. If you can get THEM to read it to you
out loud, that's even better.

Hebrews 4:12 "For the word of God is quick, and powerful..."

If they hear AND SEE the verses, they are MUCH more likely to

understand. If they can't SEE the verse you're reading, they may
misunderstand what you said, or they may just be PRETENDING to listen
anyway. Get a Bible with the LARGEST PRINT you can find. (See
Appendix 2.) People are LAZY and will not read the verses if it takes ANY
EFFORT. If they can read it from a distance without squinting or straining,
they are 100 times more likely to read it.

HIGHLIGHT or underline the verses you use often. (Or underline them
with a highlighter.) This will help you find them faster and help the lost
person see what you're pointing at. If the ink bleeds through the page a little,
