When you’ve shared your faith in Christ, has someone ever asked you, “But where in the Bible does it say that?†Or have you ever been asked why you believe the way you do?
It can be scary if you don’t know what to say in an interaction like this, but it doesn’t mean you are a failure. Instead, it’s an opportunity to study God’s Word in preparation for future conversations.
Whether you are eager to tell others about Jesus or it comes a bit less naturally to you, it helps so much to know some Bible verses and passages you can use to explain what you believe. One important reason to study the Bible is to be equipped to point others to God.
Two great passages that talk about the gospel are Acts 13:38-39 and Romans 3:22-24, but there are many others. Passages like these will help you as you share the truth about who God is and tell others about His love.
Once you’ve spent some time finding and studying Bible passages to keep on hand, go out and share the good news of Jesus Christ! Be encouraged that the Holy Spirit will give you the right words to say in every gospel conversation (Luke 12:12). • Bethany Acker
• What are your favorite verses about the gospel?
• Who are some trusted Christians you could talk with about their favorite Bible passages to use in conversations about the gospel?
• Who is someone you want to share the gospel with? Take some time to pray for them, asking for wisdom about how to best share Jesus with them.
Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it. But do this in a gentle and respectful way. Keep your conscience clear. Then if people speak against you, they will be ashamed when they see what a good life you live because you belong to Christ. 1 Peter 3:15-16 (NLT)
