How to Witness & share your faith

When it comes to sharing our faith as Christians, many of us are unsure of how to witness to others.

The Church is the Bride of Christ. We, as the bride, have been left here to prepare for the wedding. Jesus related the Kingdom of Heaven to a wedding feast in Matthew 22. He tells us in verses 8 & 9 what the king says: "Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. Go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.'"

We must be about the business God has placed before us - to invite others to the Wedding...to introduce others to the love of Christ. Therefore, we must learn effective ways of how to witness.

Evangelism, sharing our faith, is an essential part of Bible study.

As believers in Christ, we are all familiar with the "Great Commission" given by Jesus in Matthew 28:19-20:

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Yet, how many of us live this out in our everday lives?

Whether we call it witnessing, sharing our testimoney or evangelism, to many of us it brings fear and nervousness to our heart. It seems to be an overwhelming task which we don't feel equipped to tackle.

In reality this isn't the case though. Jesus has given us a simple command: to share Him with others. Let's learn how to witness!

If your neighbor's house was on fire and he was in danger, wouldn't you tell him? That's just the case here spiritually. Many of our family members, our neighbors, people we meet every day are living a life that will end in destruction unless someone shares the hope of Christ with them.

1 Peter 3:15 tells us: "But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,"

Following are tools and Scriptures to help equip us to share Christ with others. Remember though - God has uniquely created you with your own personality, temperament, background, and testimony to share Him with others in a unique and creative way. Of course the most important thing is that you have experienced knowing Christ for yourself. We can't share something we don't have.

witnessing tools

Your Story

One of your greatest tools is to use your story, how God has moved & worked in your life, to share His story!

Sharing your personal story of how you came to know Jesus Christ as your own personal savior is one of the most effective evangelism techniques. Take time to write your own faith story.  Just like Paul, you may adapt it according to who your audience is, but taking the time to think through what Jesus has done in your own life will not only bless you, but also those with whom you share it.

Take a look at these testimonies of others if you need some examples to get you started.

Witness Tracts

Christian witnessing tracts are great tools to use when sharing Christ with others. If you're unsure of how to witness, these can equip you to share in an easy manner. Leave them in public waiting areas, give them to others so they may read the Gospel for themselves, leave them with your tip for your waiter or waitress, or now you can even email a Christian tract!

Don't neglect building relationships with others first. They will be much more accepting and willing to listen when we take the time to get to know them.

Special note: We do preview the websites to which we link, but are unable to peruse them completely. We try to check others' faith statements and make sure they do profess Jesus Christ as God's Son and salvation is found only in Him. It must, however, be your responsibility to personally dig into God's Word and allow the Holy Spirit to be your first and final teacher on all subjects.
