Sharing the gospel can feel intimidating, but evangelism is not about perfection—it’s about obedience and love for God. Whether you’ve struggled with fear or felt unqualified, you’re not alone. Today, we’ll explore three pillars of evangelism that will equip and encourage you to boldly share the good news.
1. It’s Not About You – People Need Jesus
Key Verse:
“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14
It’s easy to get caught up in fear—fear of rejection, saying the wrong thing, or feeling unqualified. But here’s the truth: evangelism isn’t about us.
– Fear of Opposition: Worrying that others will challenge your beliefs.
– Fear of Incompetence: Feeling like you don’t know enough to answer difficult questions.
– Fear of Exposure: Believing your past mistakes disqualify you from sharing.
Good News:
You don’t have to be perfect. The Holy Spirit equips and gives you the words at the right time. Even if you stumble, remember—a soul restored to God is worth far more than our temporary discomfort.
✅ Pro Tip: Share what God has done in your life. A heartfelt testimony carries more weight than a theological debate.
2. Intercede for Them—Prayer Prepares the Way
Key Verse:
“Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men.” 1 Timothy 2:1
Evangelism begins with prayer. When we intercede for the lost, we prepare the soil of their hearts for the seeds of the gospel.
Why Prayer Matters:
– Invites the Holy Spirit to soften hearts.
– Aligns your heart with God’s desire for salvation.
– Creates opportunities for divine encounters.
✅ Pro Tip: Use simple tools like bookmarks or journals to list the names of people you’re praying for regularly.
3. Proclaim the Good News—Share Your Testimony
Key Verse:
“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.” Revelation 12:11
The heart of evangelism isn’t winning arguments—it’s sharing what Jesus has done in your life. People may not resonate with theology, but they will connect with your personal story.
What’s Your 60-Second Gospel?
Reflect on how God has worked in your life and summarize it in a way that speaks from your heart. Here’s an example: “God loves us and created us for a relationship with Him. But sin separated us from that relationship. Jesus, fully God and fully man, lived a perfect life, died on the cross for our sins, and rose again to restore us to God. Because of His sacrifice, I have experienced His love, forgiveness, and purpose in my life.”
✅ Pro Tip: Practice sharing your testimony in 60 seconds. You never know when an opportunity might arise!
Final Thoughts: Step Out and Trust God
If we humble ourselves, pray, and share the good news boldly, we’ll see lives transformed. Remember: God is already at work. You don’t have to have all the answers—just be willing to step out in faith.
Challenge:
– Identify one person you can pray for this week.
