Christian witnessing is merely sharing our heartfelt faith in Christ - what He's personally done to change our individual lives! We're not called to argue or debate anyone into heaven. We're merely called to share! As in the courtroom, we're called to be a witness for the Gospel, not the lawyer, judge or jury… Leave that up to God! Christian Witnessing - It's Not About Intellect or Debate Skills In his letter to the Corinthian Church, Paul addresses the heart of Christian witnessing: And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. (1 Corinthia

Do you want to share Jesus without fear? Perhaps the thought of sharing your faith in Jesus Christ causes feelings of fear and guilt in your heart. We need to look no further than the first book of the New Testament to see that we are commanded to share God's good news with others. Matthew 28:19-20 says, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." However, God did not intend for this command to give you feelings of inadequacy. Instead, this command illustrates God's desire to include us in His wonderful plan to redeem mankind. Would you like to know the secret to fearlessly sharing your faith in Jesus Christ? Sadly, there is no special trick, but it is comforting to know that God hears your prayers, and He is faithful to grant you anything according to His will. Sin

How to Share the Gospel Have you ever felt intimidated to share the Gospel, afraid of what people may say, think about you, or even ask you? Fear not. At Fish Comix, we’ve developed an Evangelism Map to help guide you as you share the gospel. Although not all conversations are going to be exactly the same, the Evangelism Map serves as a guide to get you where you want to go: in the position to ask a person to accept Jesus. The following are steps to remember when leading someone to Christ. Questions will be asked along the way and topics may go into tangents, especially in steps 2-4; so, it is always good to have a central path to follow. 1. Fish Seek friends or make friends with people who are interested in spiritual things, such as love, philosophy, religion, Jesus, God, etc. Once you find someone who is interested, you can deepen the conversations you have. 2. God As you converse, see if the person believes in God. This will be the grounds on which the conversation will be built on.
