For the folks at "Real Life"

I've had a great time hangin out with the folks at Real Life this summer. We've been talking about how our encounters with God should propel us to be on mission for Him. This post includes the promised info about giving your testimony.
1) In the first part of your testimony you want to include what your life was like before you met Jesus Christ. If you can't remember, ask those who knew you then. If you were really young, search the scriptures to see what they say about your heart before you met Christ.
2) The second portion should communicate how you came to know Jesus Christ. It needs to be very clear about the work God was doing in you, explaining how you came to hear the gospel, and how The Holy Spirit brought you under conviction. Be sure to include the simple gospel found in 1 Cor 15 for we know that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation.
3) The last part of your testimony should communicate how your life has changed since you met Jesus Christ. The differenece He has made in your life.

Work on your testimony. Have a 45 second version, 2.5 - 3 minute version, and a 7-12 minute version. That way you will be ready to share the great news of how God has changed your life. I'm looking forward to our last few Wednesdays together!
