Sharing Christ: A Journey of Evangelism and Discipleship

Sharing Christ: A Journey of Evangelism and Discipleship

Sharing Christ is one of the most profound ways we can fulfill our purpose as Christians. It’s not about our ability to convert someone—that responsibility belongs solely to God. Our job is to plant the seeds, water them faithfully, and trust God to bring the increase (1 Corinthians 3:6-7). This series, Sharing Christ Effectively, is designed to equip and encourage you in your role as a witness, empowering you to share your faith with boldness and love.

Understanding the Call to Sharing Christ

Jesus left His followers with a mission that transcends time: to share the good news with the world. This call, known as the Great Commission, is the foundation for all evangelism efforts. Yet, sharing Christ is not merely about preaching; it is about living a life that reflects His love and truth.

We are called to faithfully share the gospel, but only the Holy Spirit can transform hearts and lead people to salvation. Your role is vital in planting seeds and watering them through prayer, love, and truth. Trust God to bring the harvest in His perfect timing.
