Sharing Your Faith: A Simple Way to Start

Sharing your faith in Jesus is one of the most exciting adventures you'll ever experience — and it's the greatest gift you can give another person. This simple guide will help you confidently partner with the Holy Spirit to lead someone into a personal relationship with Jesus.

As a follower of Jesus, you can trust that God orders your steps. When you pray, "God, give me an opportunity to tell someone about Jesus," He will answer. Your job is simply to stay aware and ready when the moment comes.

1. Inquire

You've never locked eyes with someone who doesn't matter to God. Ask questions and really listen. Get to know who a person truly is and what matters to them. One of the best questions you can ask is a sincere "How are you doing?" — and then actually listen to the answer.

2. Identify

Everyone shares the same need to be rescued from a life without Jesus. As you talk, look for common ground and shared experiences you can relate to, and pray for the chance to encourage them with your own story.

3. Inspire

Share how Jesus has changed your life: "This is what Jesus has done for me — this is my story." No one can argue with your story and what Jesus has done in your life.

How to Begin a Relationship with Jesus

The greatest day of anyone's life is the day they commit to Jesus. It's as simple as the ABCs:

• Admit you need Jesus.
• Believe that Jesus died and rose from the grave for you.
• Commit to follow Jesus for the rest of your life.
