a simple but powerful method for sharing the gospel  

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." – Romans 10:9

The Gospel message is simple because God desires for everyone to be saved.

When you share the Good News of the Lord Jesus using the Gospel in Colors, even a child can understand.

Introducing the Gospel in Colors

What is The Gospel in Colors?

The Gospel in Colors is a simple yet powerful way to associate the Gospel message with everyday colors. Doing this can help keep the Gospel at the forefront of our minds and make sharing the Gospel with others more natural.

The Colors

Here are the colors and their meanings:

Yellow – God loves you and has a plan for your life.

Black – All people are sinners.

Red – Christ died for our sins. 

White – Forgiveness is available through Christ.

Green – Go and grow in your faith.

As you incorporate recognizing these colors into your daily life, you’ll begin seeing Gospel reminders all around you—a yellow ball, a black t-shirt, a red balloon, a white cloud, or green grass. These simple visual cues can help you naturally bring the Gospel into conversations with loved ones, friends, or anyone within your circle of influence.

The Challenge

Take the challenge, and memorize all five colors and their meanings. Then, practice sharing them with a friend. Once you complete this challenge, move on to the next part of The Gospel in Colors and memorize the Scripture verses for each color. With each step you continue growing in your ability to share the good news effectively!

Now, let's look at the resources Gospel Tools has created to assist you in learning The Gospel in Colors.

The History of the Gospel in Colors

Two Men, One Mission

The Gospel in Colors was first used by an English preacher, Charles Haddon Spurgeon, in a Gospel message on January 11, 1866. Spurgeon was preaching to orphans who could not read, so he made what he called "The Wordless Book." He used three pieces of colored paper, black, red, and white to teach the glorious Gospel of Christ. The black paper represented man’s sin, the red represented Christ’s shed blood and death, and the white represented God’s forgiveness and our new life.

In 1875, an American evangelist, D.L. Moody, added a fourth color – yellow. This color represented God’s love and plan for man. He used the Gospel in Colors in all his meetings.

Later, green was added to represent growing and going.
