COMMUNICATING FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST

          (The best way to be a blessing in someone’s life)

“Success in witnessing is sharing Christ in the power of the
  Holy Spirit and leaving the results with God.” 
 (Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade for Christ, 1970)

"So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither is he
that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.  1 Cor. 3:7

Is there anything more important to the Child of God than
confronting  those with  whom he comes  into  contact with 
the eventual accountability they will make before God?

“And it is appointed unto men, once to die but after this        
  the judgment.” Hebrews 9: 27

“But I say unto you,  That every  idle word that men shall
  speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judg-
  ment.  For  by  thy words thou shalt be justified,  and  by
  thy words thou shalt be condemned.” Matthew 12: 36-37

You and I must warn others of this...Ezekiel 3: 17 - 21.

“Today, I am putting you and me on notice just what the Lord
God has charged us to do.  If we do not this thing,  our friends
blood will be on our heads.  Is this something we want to risk?  
What can we do about it?

**********************************************************

1. Make  sure about your  personal  relationship with
    Jesus Christ.  Is the Spirit of the Son of God living,
    and active in your life?  "The Spirit, itself, beareth
    witness with our spirit,  that we are the children of
    God." Romans 8: 16
    "He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness
    in himself;  he that believeth not God hath made Him a
    liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave
    of His Son.   And this  is the record that God hath given
    to us eternal life and that life is in His Son."
    1 John 5: 10-11.

2. You and I must  be equipped  with the knowledge needed
    to communicate this “Good News” to whomever our God 
    places within our circle of influence.  
         "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is 
           profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, 
           for instruction in righteousness;  That the man  of 
           God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto every 
           good work."
    II Tim. 3: 16-17,  We must use Scripture to reach out to
            those  to whom  we would  communicate the saving 
            grace of Jesus Christ.

3. We must make sure  our lives are not a reproach upon the Son 
     of God.  "Moreover he must have a good report of them which 
     are  without;  (outside the community of faith) Lest he fall into 
     reproach and the snare of the devil." 1 Tim. 3: 7 (As a deacon)

4. Knowing this,  It is not within our power to ‘save’ anyone.
    If  there is  a  work done in  a  person to whom we witness
    and/or within ourselves,  it is God doing the work. We just
    ask to be used of Him.  "Being confident of this very thing,
    that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform
    it until the day of Jesus Christ: (Philippians 1: 6)

5. Simply talk about the Lord,  Kingdom principles,  of  how
    he has done a work in your own life; of how your came to 
    faith, and watch Him work.
