I feel ya KB thats me......
But in explaining it or sharing to a sinner, I like to go the route of love, and creation. The typical person (not the atheist, or agnostic etc) believes in God or a higher power, and that we were created by a supreme being or something to that nature.
I like to let ppl know that yes they live their lives the way they have been and they do what they feel is right, but salvation is God through Jesus Christ restoring the relationship between us and himself since sin brought a seperation. I let them know that God is our creator and for us to live our lives without him is like a child not appreciating their loving parents for giving them life. And I tell them that because sin is in the earth everyone is affected by it and are in need of atonement through Jesus Christ. No one can pay for their own sins. So in that fact I present salvation as a plan that God has made because he loved his creation so much that he wants to be in fellowship and relationship with us. Then of course I tell them about repentance and faith believing and confession, and living a life of obedience to God. And I end it with asking them who better could they find to lead them through this life they know nothing about than our creator? The one who created life and this world? And in that most ppl can relate.
Thats how I share it in the most simple way. Sometimes the simple things are the deep things (the things that have much meaning).
