How Do I Share My Faith? We are not called to share our logic or share our arguments. We are called to share our faith.
Even though God has created each of us as intellectual beings, the Christian life is lived by faith, not by the intellect (Romans 1:17; Galatians 2:20).
Faith is the vital ingredient that must be added to Christian witness in order for the revelation of Gods Spirit to strike the heart of the unbeliever.
Hebrews 4:2 tells us:
"For we also have had the gospel preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith".
Faith in God is what transforms a person into the new creation described in 2 Corinthians 5:17. For this reason, the act of witnessing involves faith expressed in two ways:
• Faith expressed by the one who is witnessing When you share the Gospel with another person, your faith in Christ is what ultimately shines forth. It is the strength of your conviction, not your intellectual grasp of lifes issues, that is the key to witnessing.
• Faith expressed by the one being witnessed to The goal of your witnessing is to see faith birthed in the spirit of the person you are speaking to.
This is an act of Gods grace. It is this contagion of faith, faith shared by one person to another that has spurred the growth of the Church down through the ages, from the time of the first apostles right down to our generation. When we address objections, we are simply seeking to eliminate any barrier to faith being birthed in the heart of an unbeliever.
KEEP THE FAITH
