]]> At times we think there are many things we must say when witnessing about Christ. The truth is our messages never change; Jesus is the way to Heaven. He is the ticket or free pass that God has provided in order for us to spend eternity in Heaven.

The Bible says that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation. So we should learn how to speak the word of God in love.

1 John 5:11
And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

John 3:36
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on him.

John 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Sometimes when I am witnessing about Christ, I just keep it simple and inform people of what the gospel says about how Jesus is the only way. There are times when I say many things in an effort to convince people that Jesus is the way. When it’s all said and done, it is the gospel that has the power to touch and transform a life. When we speak the truth of God’s word into hearing ears, God can then access those scriptures and speak through his Holy Spirit to the people whom we were witnessing to whenever he chooses to.

When they get home and are all alone reminiscing about their day, the Holy Spirit can say to them, “I am the way, the truth and the life.” After all, the Bible is the living word of God.

Oftentimes, we would sit and speak with people who would be plastered drunk, cursing, smoking, and obviously living a life filled with sin. Many of them would profess that Jesus was their best friend.

How would people live if they have truly surrendered their lives to Jesus?

2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

1 John 3:9
No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.

Galatians 5:19-21
The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

One night one of the street team ministry participants asked me: “These people who claim to be saved yet live a life filled with sin, are they really saved?”

I replied: “Only God will decide who will and will not enter into heaven for eternity. The one thing I do know though is that if Jesus comes into our lives, then Jesus should be flowing through us and coming out of our lives.”

Today’s Daily Devotion

John 14:12
I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.

I believe that Jesus is telling the truth. I am not afraid to pray for healing because that is what Jesus did and healing occurred. I am not fearful of telling people that God is alive and real. Jesus did and many believed. You and I are the result of others sharing about God’s love and goodness. I choose to put my faith and hope in the words Jesus has said, he said we would do what he did, so blind eyes and deaf ears become opened at our command. Don’t be afraid to pray for miracles, there is a better chance of miracles happening when we pray than when we do not.

  • Prayer: God help me to become more like Jesus. Take away fear and fill me with faith and boldness. Place a special grace upon my life to win souls for your kingdom.
  • Thought: If one person came to Christ today because of your boldness, how many others might make it to heaven?
