Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.
Revelation 12:11 says that we will defeat the enemy by “the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.” That kind of power shouldn't be hidden—your story should be shared boldly! Jesus will use it as you tell of His goodness and love to those around you. This is exactly what’s happening in Sharon's life. Before she had a relationship with Jesus, her existence was dark. She always felt isolated and alone. Sharon looked to friendships to find fulfillment, but nothing ever stuck as she never made any new, long-lasting relationships. But then, she received the free gift of eternal life, and now she knows she is never alone! Sharon feels the peace and love that comes from Jesus living in her heart, and she has found a genuine and lasting community in her church. And she just can't keep it to herself! Her friends have heard it because she shared it with them. Find out how you can do the same at www.sharelife.today.

“What impact could I possibly make?” Have you ever felt that way before? Well, Isabella certainly did. But she stepped outside her comfort zone and attended an evangelism discipleship training in Arizona. She went out into the community with a team and spoke to a man named Chris. They asked him two great questions: if he knew for sure he’d go to Heaven one day, and if he stood before God and God asked why He should let Chris into Heaven, what would he say? Well, Chris's answer was like so many others - he was trusting in his own good works to get him into Heaven, and he hoped it would be enough. Isabella was able to share that our works will never be enough, but placing our faith in Jesus alone to save us is all we need. I’m happy to tell you that Chris put his faith in Jesus that day! And it didn’t only change his life, it changed Isabella’s as well. Get started in sharing your faith by visiting our website at www.sharelife.today.

Sometimes, it can be a struggle to leave the past in the past. Annie knows this well. Her siblings were in and out of prison, and her dad was an alcoholic. While two of her brothers were in two separate prisons, they both met Jesus, wrote home to their mother sharing their faith in Christ! And this led Annie to also place her faith in Jesus alone. However, the next twenty years were filled with sin and struggle. But God didn’t let her stay there! Her sister gently led her to a closer walk with the Lord; and from then on, God turned her separation into reconciliation, heartbreak to hope, and brokenness to wholeness! Annie says that it’s true – God really does want to work everything out for the good of those who love Him. Lamentations 3 tells us, “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they’re new every morning…” So don’t lose hope!

“Now that Jesus came into my life, he took away the emptiness I once felt within my heart.” Maybe your story sounds similar to that of Jonathan's. He says that his life has never been the same since he met Jesus. When you place your faith in Jesus, everything changes. You're no longer known by your sin and past mistakes; but rather, you're walking in the newness of life that only Christ can give. Sometimes we forget that though. No matter what your past was before meeting Jesus, you can live a new life! He is right beside you every day giving you the chance to walk with Him. Romans 6:4 gives us this encouragement: “Just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” So, I encourage you to tell someone about your new life and let them know that Jesus offers it to them as well!

Brandon was not your typical church kid and certainly not one to spread the Gospel. From the age of fifteen, until he was twenty, Brandon was a thief. He was finally convicted of armed robbery at 20 years old and remained in prison for 15 years. But guess what?! He met Jesus in prison and was made completely new! Now a pastor who disciples his congregation to share their faith, he’s made it his mission to spread the Gospel. Paul says in 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” If you know Jesus, people will see your faith and expect to see a difference between your former self and your new life in Christ. Be encouraged by Brandon’s story, that no matter what your past contains, Jesus has the final say and can redeem any story!

Did you know that God uses ordinary people like you and me to point others to Christ? Opportunities to share our faith are literally all around us. With a few simple tools, we can speak the Gospel with confidence and develop passion for those who do not yet know Him. One of the keys to sharing your faith with confidence is simply to being yourself. Keep the conversation friendly. Ask questions about their spiritual life and what gives them the most meaning. Take time to listen and understand where they are struggling. And share your story about how you came to know Jesus and what difference it’s made it your life. People love stories, and your story is interesting because it is unique. This will also help them understand the transforming power of the Gospel in your life and how a relationship with Jesus can impact them too. All these ways help us share our faith boldly and lovingly with others. To learn more about sharing the Gospel with confidence, visit our website at www.sharelife.today.
