Witnessing 1 Peter 3:15


Witnessing  1 Peter 3:15

There is that awkward moment when the opening to talk about your faith comes. It could be with a friend or it could be with someone you just met. Your heart says share and your head tells you wait or keep quite.

Excuses flow out like water. Who am I to tell someone about God? I don’t know how? I don’t know what to say? They might get offended? I might hurt their feelings? Or worse what if they want to listen?

In that awkward and strange moment you make a decision that might affect eternity.

 

God’s command

1 Peter 3:15

Matthew 10:32&33

Mathew 28:19&20

John 7:38 streams of living water not swimming pools or water towers.

John 4:14 a spring of living water

The time is now

Matthew 9:37&38

John 4:34-38

1 Peter 3:15 “in season and out”

What to share

1 Peter 3:15 “the reason for your hope.”

Why do you believe?

What has Jesus done for you?

Make a list and get to know it

 

When that weird and awkward moment come, will you be ready? Will you dare to step out in faith say something? Or will you let it go by? Will you confess your faith in Jesus? Will you give a reason for the hope you have in Jesus? Someone’s eternity may hang in the balance of what you choose in that moment. We need, we must, be ready to make the right choice.
