John 5:24

Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and
does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

THUMB—HEAVEN IS A FREE GIFT

Your thumb symbolizes hitching a free ride to heaven, we cannot get there on our own. Use your thumb
to make a thumbs up such as someone who is hitchhiking would do. This is an easy way to remember
you need to get a ride to heaven, you cannot get there on your own.

Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

INDEX FINGER—MAN IS A SINNER AND CANNOT SAVE HIMSELF

Your index finger is the first finger and symbolizes that man usually puts himself first. Using your index
finger, or “first finger” is a good way to remember that we tend to put ourselves first. That is because
we have a selfish and sinful nature. This symbolizes the second point of the gospel.

Romans 3:23
Ephesians 2:8-9

MIDDLE FINGER—GOD LOVES YOU, BUT HATES YOUR SIN

Your middle finger is the tallest finger. This is a good representation of God, since He is the creator and
beginning of all things. We add the middle finger as we share about the nature of God.

1 John 4:8b
John 3: 16

RING FINGER—JESUS IS THE INFINITE GOD-MAN

Your next finger to add to the presentation is the ring finger. This finger represents the marriage of
Christ to the church. If you use your right hand as you talk about this, it will be on the right side of the
great finger. You can then say that Christ sits at the right hand of the Father. It is very important to share
who Jesus Christ is. Jesus Christ is the infinite God-man who died on the cross to pay for our sins and
purchase a place in heaven for us.

John 1:1,14
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God ... The Word
became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only,
who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

1 Peter 2:24
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, ...

LITTLE FINGER—THIS GIFT IS RECEIVED BY FAITH

Your little finger is the smallest finger and symbolizes faith. The gift of eternal life is received by faith.
Acts 16:31
... "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household."

PRAYER OF SALVATION

There is no certain prayer that must be used to help someone to receive Christ. The most simple of ways
is to pray using the points of the gospel you just shared while personalizing them.

Romans 10:9-10
That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from
the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your
mouth that you confess and are saved.

Dear Lord Jesus, I confess that I am a sinner and cannot save myself. I believe you died on the cross to
pay for my sin and purchase a place for me in heaven. I receive that gift right now by faith. Lord Jesus
come into my heart and be my Lord and my Savior. Amen.

It is a good idea to pray for them at this point to understand and believe what they have just done.

Ephesians 1:13-14
In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also
believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is given as a pledge of our
inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory.

To prevent them from praying out loud with you while you are just praying for them, you can say, “Now
let me pray for you.” in between to two prayers. This will clarify what you are doing and perhaps save
them an embarrassing or uncomfortable situation.

You can see how simple it is to remember what to talk about when you share the gospel with someone
by using your hand.
1 Timothy 2:3-4
This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come
to the knowledge of the truth.
