how to share your faith
A great way to share your faith is by sharing your testimony! Here, we have an outline for how to share your story. Think of your story as having 3 basic movements:
MY LIFE BEFORE JESUS:
What was my life like before Jesus?
Think about things like...
-
What was my identity built upon?
-
Where did my security and happiness come from?
-
What did I chase after?
-
Was I a religious rule-follower or a reckless rule breaker?
-
How was my former way of life not working for me and how did it leave me longing for more?
HOW I CAME TO JESUS:
How did I meet Jesus?
Think through questions like...
-
When did I recognize I need Jesus to save me from sin and make me whole?
-
When did I hear the gospel that Jesus died for me and rose from the grave?
-
When did I confess my need for Jesus and put my trust in him?`
MY LIFE WITH JESUS:
How has the decision to follow Jesus changed my life?

-
How would I describe the love and acceptance I experience with Jesus?
-
How would I describe the way he is transforming my life — my character, my desires, my relationships?
-
How would I describe the peace and hope I experience even in suffering because I have Jesus?
