Training

When we start to become engaged in the aspect of sharing our faith with other people we can not expect to just know how to do it or expect to have the stamina to complete the challenge. So like anyone else training for a big event (marathon, superbowl, ect.) we have to train. One of the first things we should do is know our own story. Well you say I know my own story. Yeah of course you do it is your story, but can you share it with somebody in less than 5 minutes and will it truly showcase what God has done in your life. If not we need to start there. The next thing we need to do is know what to share. Many evangelist have put together their own selections of bible verses and analogies and so you need to decide which one works best for you, but I like this one it’s called the Roman Road. The Roman Road takes you on a journey towards salvation through the book of Romans. Here is what it looks like.

Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned; all fall short of the God’s glorious standard”

Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord”

Fomans 5:8 “But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners”

Romans 10:9-10 “For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him                from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it                 is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved.”

Romans 10:13 ” For anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Romans 11:36 “For everything comes from Him; everything exists by His power and is intended for His glory. To Him     be glory evermore. Amen”

(note: all verses are from the NLT version of the bible)

So now you have some verses but what does that mean, well it’s the start of our training. Know your story, know these scriptures and we will began to see God train us up for sharing our faith with others. Tomorrow I will show you how to use what we have learned so far in everyday life.

Did I miss something or do you have a different take on evangelism drop me a comment and let me know your thoughts. See ya.
