How to Share My Faith With My Family and FriendsНамуна

Sharing Faith with Family Is Rewarding

At times, it can be hard to share our faith with family members and friends because they have known us our entire lives. At the same time, witnessing to our loved ones can be very effective. Since these people have known us for a long time, they can see the changes that God has done in us firsthand. To them, these changes are unmistakable. 

When a family member sees a person who used to be fundamentally selfish caring for and serving others, the individual will recognize the difference. When loved ones know that you used to be focused on material things and now you are giving money to charity, they will notice. If you did not like the church or the Word of God, but now you read your Bible daily, your family will be the first to know that something special happened to you. God’s transforming work in your life will be obvious to your family members. 

Our witness to our family can be very difficult at first. However, with time it can become our most effective witness. Our family members and friends can be the first people to acknowledge the changes that Christ has made in our life. In other words, give it time, stay focused, and let your light shine. Eventually, your whole house will be bright. Your actions will speak as loudly about Christ as your words do. When your loved ones see your transformation, they might come to you themselves to ask how it happened. That would be the perfect time to share your faith in the saving grace of Jesus. 

Jesus is the Light of the world. When we come to Him, our lives are illuminated and transformed by His glory. This transformation is noticeable. That is why Christ said that we need to let our light shine in such a way that others will see our good deeds and glorify God. Surely, as our family members see our faith lived in action in our day-to-day lives, they will want to know the God who transformed us. Our actions can help us share our faith with our loved ones. Our very lives can be a witness for the God we believe in.
