SHARING YOUR FAITH IS NOT HARD
Typically, a person wants to tell everyone about a gift he or she
received.
Yet many people treat salvation like it's some kind of
secret.
They know what a wonderful thing they have but they're
reluctant to tell others.
* Sharing is called many things.
The Bible calls sharing your
faith witnessing (Acts.
1:8); preaching the Good News (Mark
16:15); telling your friends what the Lord has done for you
(Mark 5:19); letting your light shine (Matt.
5:15); showing
others the goodness of God (1 Peter 2:9); and planting seeds
My job was to plant the seed in your hearts, and Apollos
watered it, but it was God, not we, who made it grow (1 Cor.
3:6).
* God's part of sharing.
God doesn't expect us to convince,
convict, or convert others.
We couldn't even if we tried.
Only God can do these things.
The love of God through Christ
convinces us (Rom.
8:38).
The work of God through the Holy
Spirit convicts us (John 16:8).
The grace of God through our
faith converts us (1 Cor.
3:7).
* Your part of sharing.
Sharing your faith should be the most
natural thing in the world, because it's nothing more than
telling someone else the story of what God has done for you.
When you talk about Jesus with one other person, or tell
people about Jesus in a letter or email, or give them a book
about Jesus you are sharing your faith.
* Don't worry.
Many people are reluctant to share their faith
because they worry about what other people will say or do.
They think they may be ridiculed, or might offend someone.
Don't worry about it.
Sharing your faith isn't about the
other person saying yes, no, or maybe.
It's about God and His
incredible gift to you.
All He wants you to do is share the
gift.
He promises to do the rest.
* Your ultimate purpose.
You exist in order to glorify God.
When you talk to others about God, you glorify Him - whether
they respond or not.
For everything comes from Him;
everything exists by His power and is intended for His glory
(Rom.
11:36).
* God's ultimate plan.
God is the holy, dynamic, personal,
loving Creator of the universe.
He made you to glorify Him
and to enjoy Him, but He can't relate to you as long as your
life is characterized by sin.
So He made a way for you to
come back to Him through Jesus.
This is His ultimate plan:
His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into His own
family by bringing us to Himself through Jesus Christ.
And
this gave Him great pleasure (Eph.
1:5).
This is what God
wants you to share with others.
