The greatest adventure in life is telling the story of Jesus to others. Friends, family, co-workers, strangers all the the good news of Jesus in their life.
Number one, telling your story, that is your personal testimony, is a powerful bridge for the gospel message. Everybody has a testimony, including you. One man in the Gospel of John said, "Once I was blind, but now I see," that's your and my story.
Number two, don't exaggerate your past, and please don't glorify drug and alcohol use and abuse. Be very acccurate in your testimony, make sure your past in not more appealing than your present life in Christ.
Number three, the language barrier is huge. Many Christian's like to use church language that is known to them but not to the lost souls, not all people grew up in church. Everyday language goes a long way. Bible words like, justification, salvation, repent and many more are like Chinese lingo to many. Be smart and us everyday words.
Number four, what is the Gospel? The word Gospel means good news, it's good news from heaven for all of us. But there are also "bad news" and those bad news is that we are all sinners who fall short of being what God wants us to be. The Bible says, "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23
Can you admit you're a sinner, I can, I was a sinner, alienated and seriously separated from God because of my sin. And on top of that I was a mainliner, a good for nothing heroin junkie. Yes, we are all sinners, we are not all addicts or alcoholics but we are all sinners in need of a Savior.
Number five, the most popular Biblical verse in the Gospel of John is John 3:16.
For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life."
Hey Friend, God sent his son Jesus to die for your sins and the sins of the world, including mine. He shed his blood at the cross and died there. He was buried in a borrowed tomb, and on the third day God raised him from the grave.
Jesus is knocking at the door of your life and your read this message: will you pray? Will you confess your sin?
Jesus, I believe in you, I believe you are the Son of God, I believe you died for my sins, I place my trust in you for my eternal gift of salvation. Amen!
