There are at least six motivations for sharing your faith described in the Bible. Ultimately, all six of these are rooted in living a Spirit-filled life.
READ MOREYour responsibility to those that you lead to Jesus is plain and simple: you are not supposed to leave them to figure things out on their own. You are not supposed to abandon them as orphans in the family of God. Jesus’ last command to His disciples was to “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations” (Matthew 28:19). We are to disciple others, just as our Savior—our Lord, Jesus Christ—made disciples of others.
READ MOREThere are three things to focus on when moving deeper into a new relationship with Jesus: assurance of your salvation, a plan for reading the Bible, and trusted accountability.
READ MOREMany believe that God exists, but they do not have a personal relationship with Him. The difference between belief and trust is in the action involved in trusting. You can believe something one day and then change your mind the next. But to put your trust in something—to have faith in something—is to commit to aligning your actions with your belief.
READ MOREIf you understand what sin is, then you should know that you need forgiveness. Sin is a moral affront to a holy God. We have offended God and because He is just, He must punish sin. And we deserve punishment! Yet, God loves us. Pastor Adrian Rogers says, “No one has ever sinned themselves beyond the love of God. Sin is not just breaking God’s laws; it is breaking His heart.”
READ MOREThere's no specific formula for starting a conversation about Jesus. The key is simply to ask God for opportunities and then take them as God brings them to you.
READ MOREIt doesn't need to be complicated. Whenever you have the opportunity, simply tell someone how grateful you are that Jesus took all your sins away. Tell them about how Jesus has changed your life and how He continues to change your life.
READ MOREApart from Jesus, there is no salvation, no forgiveness of sins, no relationship with God, and no Heaven. Without Jesus, a person will suffer the punishment for sin in Hell. We have more opportunities, more ability to communicate, more tools than any generation ever had. Don't let this opportunity pass by. Share the good news of Jesus Christ with those around you.
If you have God's Spirit in you, you will resist the sinful impulses that rise up in you. You won't do it perfectly. There will be many times when you still sin. But if your faith is getting stronger, you will find yourself increasingly resisting the temptation to get angry, gossip, lust, worry, etc.
