Luke 23:39-43 "And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on
him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. But the other
answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art
in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the

due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. And he
said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy
kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt
thou be with me in paradise."

Four verses on Jesus' sinlessness:

Hebrews 4:14-15 "Jesus...was in all points tempted like as we are, yet

without sin."

1 Peter 2:21-22 "...Christ...did no sin..."

1 Peter 3:18 "...Christ...suffered for sins, the just for the unjust..."

1 John 3:5 "...he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no

sin."

That verse kills two birds with one stone, as it dovetails into an explanation
of how Jesus can keep you out of hell.

4. WHAT JESUS DID FOR THEM.

Give a plain explanation of Jesus Christ's substitutionary death and blood

atonement, emphasizing the all-sufficient and infinite cleansing power of His
blood, citing appropriate verses. It's also a good idea to mention that Jesus
ALLOWED Himself to be tortured and killed for our sakes. The fact that
He laid down His life willingly for us (John 10:17-18) shows He loved us
(John 15:13, 1 John 3:16) and is selfless in contrast to our selfishness, a fact
which can finally convince the lost person of his own sinfulness if he hasn't
been already.

5. SALVATION IS A GIFT, AND CAN'T BE EARNED.
