Witnessing

Q: What's the best way to go about sharing my faith with others?

A: Our most effective witnessing message comes about from our own personal experience and knowledge of Christ. (1 John 1:1-4) The message we communicate needs to be limited to what we've heard ourselves from God. (1 John 1:5) Our loudest witness is not so much what we say but more about how we ourselves live. (1 John 1:6-7)

Truthfulness, clarity, consistency and honest transparency are all important personal qualities to exhibit as Christ-followers. These are the things that matter most to people whose hearts are open to the faith (i.e., those who want or are ready to hear what the witness has to say).
