3 Steps to Being a KINGDOM BUILDER in Your Life Today - Part 3નમૂનો

In this 5-day Bible plan, we uncover the third of three key ideas to help you live as a Kingdom-building Christian in your daily life at home, around town, and at work.

The idea is this: BRING the good news.

This might sound simple and scary, but this study plan contains a key idea to help you share the gospel behind each letter of the word B-R-I-N-G.

Today, we start with the letter “B,” which stands for “Be prepared with your Testimony,” and check in with Apostle Peter in the New Testament.

Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. – 1 Peter 3:15b

As we consider this verse, we also remember the words of Jesus:

Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. – Matthew 10:32

Taken together, these verses give us a command with a promise attached. We are motivated to share the good news. We want our neighbor, coworker, family member, or friend to be saved, but we have a fear inside us. A fear that we might be rejected. Or that we might look foolish.

The way to overcome this fear is to be prepared. And the first step in being prepared is to be ready with your Testimony.

Sadly, even though you know the importance of sharing the gospel, many Christians are, in fact, not prepared to do so. You know that you came to faith in Jesus, but you might not have it ready as a story – your Testimony – that you can share with others.

That’s a big roadblock and may also be your biggest fear in sharing the gospel. Fortunately, it’s also the easiest problem to fix: you just need to get your Testimony written up in short story form and committed to memory. And, since it’s your Testimony, it’s just a recap of your own experiences and, therefore, easy to remember.

But getting it written? Well, that’s another matter. Like most people, you may have some pretty severe writer’s block when it comes to writing anything, and maybe especially so for your Testimony. “How can I get it right?” and “Who wants to know about that?” are questions that encourage your writer’s block, so you might not get around to getting it done, even though you mean to one day sit down and just do it.

At the God & Work ministry, we recognize this problem and have developed the tools and processes to help you solve it. We won’t go into details here, but make a note to find the YouVersion reading plan, “3 Steps to Write Your Testimony of Faith,” and find out how easy this can be.

Blessings to you as you plan the actions needed to write your Testimony!
