Jesus said that honesthearted people will recognize the truth when they hear it. (John 10:4, 27) So whenever we speak to people, we want to share simple Bible truths. Try introducing a truth by asking: “Did you know that . . . ?” or “Have you ever heard that . . . ?” Then use the related scripture(s) to explain that truth. Just sharing a simple Bible truth may plant a seed in a person’s heart, and God can make that seed grow!​—1 Cor. 3:6, 7.
