Questions & Answers

What are some opportunities to be more intentional?

There are several areas in our lives where we can find opportunities to be more intentional in our witness: in our families, with our neighbors, at work, in our communities, nation, and world.

Does it matter what I decide if I am predestined to Hell anyway?

Romans 8 contains five pillars of truth for our salvation. If you take away any one of these, the Gospel comes apart. Are you predestined for Hell (or even Heaven for that matter)? Absolutely not! It is your choice. What will you decide?

How can I know who to listen to?

1 John 4:1 reads, “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.”

The Bible tells us exactly what to look for in a person who is expressing truth. 

Does it matter whether or not I share the Gospel personally?

Yes, it matters. The responsibility to live for Jesus and to share Jesus with others is an assignment to all of us and to each of us, not just to some of us.

How can my testimony be used to share Jesus with others?

When we live our lives filled with the Holy Spirit, God will make sure that there will be people around us who will notice and possibly start asking questions about our peace, patience, kindness, and other observable changes in our lives. As we remember that God’s assignment for us is to be witnesses, not lawyers, our testimonies become a natural way to tell others what we have personally “seen and heard.”

What do I need to know to share Jesus with others?

You need to know the Gospel of Jesus Christ (the good news), your own experience, and your assignment.

How can I get motivated to share Jesus with others?

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.

Can I be sure that I am safe from God's judgement?

Yes, you can be sure you are safe from God's judgment. Through the blood of Jesus, your sin can be buried in the grave of God’s forgetfulness, never to be brought up against you again.

What is my responsibility to those that I lead to Jesus?

Your 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.

What resources are available to help people who make a decision to follow Jesus?

There 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.
