How can you actively share Christ's testimony with others this week? Foundational Verse “because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you.” – 1 Corinthians 1:6 What Makes a Testimony “Confirmed”? • Paul’s message wasn’t just words; the Corinthians’ transformed lives authenticated it. • The same principle holds today: when your life mirrors Christ, your words carry weight. • Think of Acts 1:8 – “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses…” The Spirit empowers and verifies your witness. Living Proof: Letting Others See the Change • Consistent character: honesty, kindness, purity (Matthew 5:16). • Visible repentance: admitting wrongs, seeking reconciliation (James 5:16). • Steadfast hope in trial: peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:6-7). People notice; your demeanor opens the door for conversation. Simple Ways to Speak Up This Week • Share a recent answered prayer while chatting with a coworker. • Post a short Scripture that encouraged you, adding one sentence of personal reflection. • Offer to pray—right then—for a friend who mentions a struggle. • Keep gospel tracts or a favorite verse card in your bag; hand one out with a warm smile. • Invite a neighbor to church or a small-group gathering; follow up with genuine interest. • In daily conversations, weave in phrases like “God’s been so faithful” or “Jesus helped me through that.” • Text a testimony video or worship song link to someone who’s searching. Scripture to Fuel Your Confidence • Romans 1:16 – “I am not ashamed of the gospel…” • 1 Peter 3:15 – “Always be prepared to give a defense to everyone who asks you the reason for the hope that is in you.” • Colossians 4:5-6 – “Walk in wisdom toward outsiders… let your speech always be gracious.” • Mark 5:19 – “Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you.” Let these verses remind you that sharing is both a privilege and a command. Wrapping Up: Step Into the Conversation Christ’s testimony is already confirmed in you; now let it overflow. Look for ordinary moments, speak naturally, rely on Scripture, and trust the Holy Spirit to use your words and life to point others to Jesus this very week. |
