Do you want to talk about Jesus without fear? Maybe the idea of talking about your faith in Jesus Christ awakens feelings of fear and guilt in your heart. We do not have to go beyond the first book of the New Testament to see that we are commanded to share the good news of God with others. Matthew 28: 19-20 says, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. I am with you every day, until the end of the world. " However, it was not God's intention that his commandment made him feel incompetent. Instead, his commandment illustrates God's desire to include us in His wonderful plan to redeem mankind.
Would you like to know the secret to share your faith in Jesus Christ without fear? Unfortunately, there is no specific trick, but it is comforting to know that God hears your prayers, and is faithful to give you anything that is according to His will. Since God wants the whole world to know the truth (2 Peter 3: 9), you can confidently ask him to provide opportunities to share his faith. Pray that God will guide their meetings to witness their faith, allows them to trust in His supernatural power, instead of their own ability. He will eliminate your fear of witnessing.
Talk about Jesus Without Fear - The Questions
If you want to talk about Jesus without fear, how do you start? Often, starting a discussion about spirituality is the biggest barrier to talking about your faith in Jesus Christ. Do you wonder how to approach the subject in the middle of an ordinary conversation? You can facilitate this goal by using the simple technique of asking your friend about his beliefs. Usually, this technique has two benefits. First, your friend may feel compelled to listen to your beliefs once you have heard theirs. Second, and more importantly, this technique allows you to know what is happening in the life of your friend to be able to minister better.
Here are some questions that can change the conversation from a secular to a spiritual topic. The questions act as a funnel to present the Gospel.
-Do you have any kind of spiritual beliefs?
-Who is Jesus for you?
-Do you think there is a heaven, or a hell?
-If you died tonight, where do you think you'd go?
-By the way, if what you've been believing was not true, would you like to know?
These five questions, asked in the previous order, can change a conversation from the secular to the spiritual. And if your friend answers "yes" to the last question, you will have the privilege of sharing your faith with him.
Talk about Jesus Without Fear - Let the Word of God Speak
You can talk about Jesus without fear! Instead of reciting a complicated presentation, simply open your Bible and let the Word of God speak for itself. For this to work you will need a Bible (preferably a small one, because small Bibles tend to be less intimidating for non-Christians), and a few passages about salvation to share. Here are some passages that fulfill this purpose:
"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23).
"" Jesus answered and said to him: 'Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he can not enter the kingdom of God' "(John 3: 3).
"Jesus answered: 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life, No one comes to the Father except through Me'" (John 14: 6).
"That if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is the Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved, because with the heart you believe for justice, but with your mouth you confess for salvation. He says: 'Whoever believes in Him will not be ashamed' "(Romans 10: 9).
"And he died for all, that those who live may no longer live for themselves, but for him who died and was raised by them" (2 Corinthians 5:15).
"Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20).
Ask your friend to read a verse out loud and then ask him or her to explain it to you. Guide him through all the verses cited above. If your friend interprets a passage incorrectly, do not argue or contribute your interpretation, but ask him politely to read it again and then explain it a second time. Misunderstanding should not be a problem if you use the verses of the Bible cited above.
Even if your friend says he does not believe or does not agree with the Bible, it is better not to argue. You can say that he simply wants him to understand what the Bible says about eternity. Is not it wonderful to know that it is not our responsibility to rebuke? Rebuking is a work of God. All we can do is talk. Once we have spoken, we have done God's will. Testifying for Christ is an activity without failure.
