Day 8: Sharing Your Faith

Probably one of the most important things we can do as Christians—but also one of the scariest things—is share our faith with others—especially friends and family. You pray for them, and you demonstrate a Christian walk in your own life. As you do this, God will bring you opportunities to speak to them about Jesus. It is up to you to take them. If you ask God to make you bolder, does He automatically make you bold? Or does He give you opportunities to be bolder? When you ask God to give you more patience, does He automatically give you patience? Or does He give you opportunities to be more patient? God will present opportunities for you to speak to those around you about your faith.

Mark 16:15
“And he said to them, ‘Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.’”

Ephesians 5:1-6:24
“Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for fragrant offering, a sacrifice to us and to god. But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints. Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving. For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.”

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, I lift up these who are on my heart today: (list names here). Help me to live out the life you have called me to by showing your love, mercy, and grace. Help me to live authentically and in such a way that people will see you through my actions and words. Help me to see opportunities to share you with those around me. Amen.
