Have A Full Heart part 4 of 4 by Keith Cook
Here are some final thoughts on "Helps for Following Christ."
"The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe." John 1:7
You can grow as a Christian by doing the following things on a regular basis! While these four expressions of a full heart are vital they are not all God has for you to do. But they are a great foundation.
We have looked at the first three expression of a Full Heart: Prayer, Bible Study, and Fellowship. Today let us examine the final, Sharing Your Faith.
4. Sharing Your Faith - This is simply telling others what Jesus has done for you!
Sharing one's faith requires:
a. Trusting the Holy Spirit for Boldness.
"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." Acts 1:8
b. Being ready and prepared to share.
"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:" 1 Peter 3:15
c. Looking for God-given opportunities.
"And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." Matthew 4:19
d. Living a life that is consistent with the message you're sharing.
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." Romans 12:1,2
The good news is what Jesus has done for you and what He wants to do for the one you are sharing with. Share your faith in Christ so others can come to know Him.
Daily Prayer Focus: Pray for an opportunity to share your faith with someone today. Let the Holy Spirit guide you.
On The Go Prayer Focus: On The Go's Neighborhood Outreach Program. In reality, very little is being done to reach people in many communities across the USA. On The Go is striving to train local Christians and help them develop programs that can systematically and permanently reach real needs in their neighborhoods.
