As Christians, God calls us to share the Good News of Jesus with others. But what’s one good way to do this?
One approach is to build genuine, loving relationships that reflect Christ’s love, rather than relying on a strict formula or script.
Build bridges, not barriers
👂 Instead of just pushing your message, start by building real trust and understanding with people. Ask thoughtful questions, listen carefully, and show that you genuinely care about them (James 1:19; Proverbs 18:13). This gives you a chance for more meaningful conversations where the Gospel can be shared naturally.
Share your story, not just facts
❤️ People are often more touched by personal stories than by a list of beliefs. When you share how God has changed your life and how His love has deeply affected you, it makes the message more relatable and powerful. Your story can show God’s work in your life (Mark 5:19; 1 Peter 3:15).
Meet people where they are
🤝 Instead of waiting for others to come to you, take the first step to reach out to them. Connect with people in their daily lives, and find ways to share the Gospel that speak to their current situations and needs (1 Corinthians 9:22). This shows that you care about them as individuals, not just as potential converts.
Pray and trust the Holy Spirit
🕊️ Most importantly, remember that sharing the Gospel isn’t about your own abilities. It’s about what God can do through you. Pray for opportunities to share, for wisdom in what to say, and for the right time to speak up. Trust the Holy Spirit to guide you, knowing that it’s God’s power alone that truly touches the hearts of others (Acts 1:8; Luke 12:12; Philippians 4:13).
Conclusion
Sharing the Gospel isn’t just something you do once—it’s a way of life filled with love, compassion, and being real. By focusing on building relationships and sharing our stories, we can help spread God’s love in a way that makes a lasting impact on others.
