What you will need for this session:
Bible.Pen.Journal
In this series of lessons we’ve talked about the way to live your before others as a witness. The content of your life should point to the existence of God. If the gospel is good news, then we should act like. Following Jesus should bring with it a life of abundant joy and love—the best possible way to life.
We’ve waited until the end of this study to talk about the spoken component of our faith. People will not listen to you if your words are not backed up by your life.
But it is important to speak things about the Christian faith are true. What do Christians believe?
The gospel—or good news about Jesus—is complex. Jesus, God’s Son, lived a perfect life. His teachings instruct us how to live a life that is honoring to God. His death was a sacrifice he willingly made to open the way for forgiveness of our sin. And through his resurrection Jesus conquered death. Through faith in him we enter into a relationship with God.
You can tell other people this, and they may grasp the content of what you are saying. But how is your life different after having received this good news?
In your journal write down the ways in which God has changed your life through relationship to Jesus Christ. What is different about you that you can only attribute to God and his power to make us new?
Next time you have a chance to talk to another person about your faith, remember these reflections. Tell them your story. Tell them what Christians believe about Jesus, and then tell them the changes you’ve seen God make in your life. A changed life is the most powerful witness to the truth about Jesus. Others will listen to your life.
