Do not be Afraid to share your Faith
The first question to ask yourself when thinking about sharing your faith is are you self-centred or Christ-centred? Are you living for yourself or for Christ? It might seem like a silly question but you have to ask yourself that question and answer honestly.
A self-centred person is defined as someone who is only interested in themselves and their activities, on the other hand a Christ-centred person is someone whose main focus is only on God. Someone who is self-centred cannot be expected to share, which means a self-centred person cannot share their faith with others, this is why you must be honest with yourself when answering the question.
What does the Bible say about sharing your Faith?
In Mark 16: 15-16 He said to them "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned." We were instructed to go into the world and preach the gospel as believers, God has given us the word (The Bible) to help us.
We were also instructed to proclaim the good news that God saves, in Psalms 96: 2-4 which says Sing to the Lord, bless his name; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day. Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples. For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised.
I know what some of you might be thinking; will I be accepted? Will I be mocked? Will I fit in? Will I make sense? etc. However God has instructed us not to Fear for it says in Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
In His word we are made to know that the Holy Spirit will teach us on what to say and how to go about saying it, in Luke 12:12. As a child of God it is our responsibility to go out into the world and share the word, knowing that the Holy Spirit will always guide us.
I want us to rise up and begin to proclaim the works of the Lord and share the good news with those around us, as we have been instructed to do so. Let us not be afraid in sharing the gospel with others, we have no reason to fear. One important thing to remember is we are not doing it for anyone except for God. May God be with you as you begin to share the Word of God.
Happy Thursday!
