WEEK 11: LIFESTYLE EVANGELISM
DAY 5: EFFECTIVE WITNESSING
MEMORY VERSE: “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear…” I Peter 3:15
There are many ways to present the Gospel of Christ. We need to know how to do that when God gives us the opportunity. Listed below are simply some additional tips that will enable us to be more effective witnesses for Christ:
Make it personal -- don’t preach. Tell it in a manner that will be received with an attitude of compassion and concern.
Keep Christ central. Always remind others of what Christ has done for you and what He can do for them
Use the Word of God as your authority. Use Scriptures to back up what you say. Remember that the Word of God has a keen cutting edge and has power to save!
Witness in the Spirit --- not in the flesh! Pray, even as you share, that the Holy Spirit would guide and direct your words and attitude. Alway remember that it is God who does the saving. We are called to be effective witnesses.
You must be familiar with the character of God; refer to God’s requirements in the Law of God and that God demands repentance of all. Talk of the necessity of faith towards Jesus Christ as the only One who can save
You are writing a gospel, a chapter a day
By the deeds that you do and the words that you say
Others read what you write --- distorted or true
What is the Gospel … according to you?
