Romans 10:9 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord
Jesus..."

Jesus' deity proves Jesus' power to save. Usually a quick review of the
Trinitarian nature of God
(1 John 5:7) is sufficient to establish this.

2. WHAT SIN IS AND THAT THEY HAVE IT (AND JESUS DOESN'T).
3. WHAT HELL IS AND THAT THEY ARE GOING THERE.

The lost person must know (and COMPREHEND) that he is a sinner.

1 John 1:8 "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the
truth is not in us."

"Sins," simply put, are the bad things we do. Most people know this. But
most people are also so ignorant of scripture, they are unaware or
unconscious of the fact that the things they personally do are actually sins.

So if they can't remember specific sins they've committed when asked for
examples, cite examples of sins from scripture. (Romans 7:7b "...I had not
known sin, but by the law..."

If they accuse you of being "holier than thou" for drawing attention to their
sins, always emphasize that you are no better than they are and have also
sinned. Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory
of God;"

I usually ask the lost person "Can you think of any specific sins you've
committed?" and I turn the pages in my Bible to look for the next verse I
will use while they're thinking about the question and/or naming their sins.
That allows you to temporarily avoid eye contact, which lessens their
embarrassment, reduces awkward silence, and makes you look less
"judgmental" than if you were staring at them.

The goal is not to make them "feel guilty." The goal is to make them
KNOW they're guilty, so they will believe that the verses about going to hell
