Communication

Ultimately, there comes a time when actions are not enough and we need to verbally present the gospel to other people. Our deeds go a long way in communicating what Christianity is all about, but no one is perfect and telling someone about God's perfect love is necessary. Do we know how to communicate what we believe? We are called to “be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.” When someone asks you what you think about God, be ready to say more than just “God is good.”

Unfortunately, many people don’t know how to articulate what the Bible says. They want to evangelize and witness to other people but when the opportunity comes up, they are dumbstruck can only think to hand the person a tract and then go on their merry way. If you are earning the right to be heard, you better have something to say when people tell you that they are listening!

We need to be ready to communicate the truth of the gospel and how it has affected our lives. When someone notices that you are always considerate and asks you about it, you can say it is because God has made a difference in my life and he can yours too…”

Think things out ahead of time. If someone says, “Wow, I didn’t know that Jesus could make that big of a difference in a person’s life. How can I become a Christian?” know what you are going to say.

Spend some time and write out your testimony. Remembering why you became a Christian can be re-energizing to your faith and the story can be inspirational for other people who may ask about it.
