Sharing the Gospel Clearly
Notes

John 4:13–14 “Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.””
We want to present the gospel like the living water with NO additives that can spiritually transform a person.
3 Glasses of water
1) Crystal Clear Glass of Water (No additives, hot day,
2)Muddy Water (you can drink it if you’re out in the desert and nothing else.Taking a chance, It could kill you but it could save your life.)
Unclear gospel but still some people come to Christ.
3)Poisonous glass: Just a few drops of arsenal or a drug can poison someone to death.
Galatians 1:8–9 “But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.”

2 Corinthians 11:3 “But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.”

Romans 3:8 “And why not do evil that good may come?—as some people slanderously charge us with saying. Their condemnation is just.”
