  1. Begin with an attention-getting sentence.
    Example: One day I realized that my life was completely empty and without
    purpose.
  2. Before I received Christ I lived and thought this way:
    Example: I was living only for myself; my wife and kids were more of a burden than a benefit in my life; success was not bringing fulfillment.
  3. How I received Christ:
    Example: A friend of mine was there for me during a tough time. Over time, he explained his faith in Jesus Christ. The more I learned, the more I realized the truth. I decided to commit myself to following Jesus too.
  4. After I received Christ these changes took place in my life:
    Example: I feel like I have a purpose; I see my family as a great blessing; people tell me they can see a difference in my attitude and priorities.
