The simple effort of sharing your story may in fact help someone recognize how Christ is working in their life. They might even accept Christ as a result of your testimony! In that sense your small investment of time would have a huge eternal impact.
Think about it. Sure, you could spend 15 minutes doing a variety of things that have importance. But isn’t it worth it, given the many benefits listed below, to invest 15 minutes to help with this project? We certainly think so. And we pray that you do as well.
Benefits of sharing your testimony:
+ Your effort alone will bring joy to God
+ Getting actively involved in the call from God to share our faith
+ The person accepting Christ will be eternally grateful for your efforts
+ Eternal rewards for you if person accepts Christ
+ Eternal glory for God if person accepts Christ
+ Eternal presence with God for the person that accepts Christ
+ You would be acting Christ-like in sharing His story
+ One of the most effective ways to present the message of Christ is by telling others what He has done in our lives.
Example #1: A single mother who does not know Christ may benefit greatly from a testimony from a single mother whose life has been impacted by Christ.
Example #2: A child of divorce is still feeling the pain and hurt from his/her parents divorce many years ago. A testimony from someone experiencing Christ’s love in that situation could play a pivotal role in the healing process.
Example #3: An individual that has experienced God’s grace and mercy by recovering from substance abuse would be encouraging to a non-believer that is currently experiencing similar struggles.
We need your help. Your story is unique and there is most likely a non-Christian out there that will respond very favorably to your specific story. Please don’t underestimate the power of your story and the impact it could play in the Kingdom of God. Remember, all of the Heavens rejoiced when you accepted Jesus Christ. That means that your life, and God’s role in your life, is monumental in God’s eyes.
Even if you have been a Christian your entire life and haven’t experienced anything “monumental” or “jaw-dropping” please don’t let that hinder you from sharing God’s role in your life. Perhaps you could share how your parents played a pivotal role in your acceptance of Christ. Or you could share how being surrounded by a strong group of Christian friends has brought you joy that you may have otherwise not experienced.
Whatever the nature of your story, someone that does not know Christ will be able to relate and may consider a relationship with Him as a result.
The point is that no story is too big or too small - and it doesn't necessarily have to be how you came to Christ, it can be how Christ has helped you since you've accepted Him. Perhaps God helped you quit smoking, helped you be at peace when financial difficulties arose, helped you fix your marriage, or helped you regroup after your marriage fell apart.
