Sharing Your Life Message


God has given you a Life Message to share.

You may feel you don’t have anything to share, but that’s the Devil trying too keep you silent. Your testimony is the story of how Christ has made a difference in your life, this is the essence of witnessing by simply sharing your personal experience regarding the Lord. The second part of your life is the truths that God has taught you from experiences with him. These are lessons and insights you have learned about God, relationship, problems, temptations, and other aspects of life.

Your Life Message includes sharing your godly passions. God is a passionate God. As you grow closer to him, he will give you a passion for something he cares deeply so you can be a spokesman for him in the world. Sometimes God gives people a passion to speak up for a group of others who can’t speak for themselves: the persecuted, the poor, the mistreated, the disadvantaged, and those who are denied justice. God uses passionate people for his kingdom. He may give you a godly passion for strengthening your families, funding Bible translation, or training Christian leaders. God gives us different passions so that everything he wants done in the world will get done.

The good news is when we trust God’s grace to save us through what Jesus did, our sins are forgiven, we get a purpose for living, and we are promised a future home in heaven. Spreading the Good news is so important; you only have a short time to share your life message and fulfill your mission.

Your Life Message has four parts to it:

1. Your testimony : the story of how you began a relationship with God

2. Your life lessons : the most important lessons God has taught you

3. Your godly passions: the issues God shaped you to care the most

4. The good news : the message of salvation
