When the
time comes to create and share you own personal salvation testimony,
the following guidelines will help you out.
Before Receiving Christ
- Give 1 or 2 specific examples of your lifestyle, attitudes, etc.
- You
can relate your church involvement and attitudes, but don't
mention denomination.
- Don't brag about sin.
How you received christ
(Be very specific) In this part, you are sharing the gospel,
so a person will know how to receive Jesus Christ as Savior
and Lord.
These are some verses you can use:
John 3:16, Ephesians 2:8-9, Galatians 3:24, Romans 3:10,
3:19-20, 3:23, 5:8, 6:23, 7:7, 10:9-10. Here are some specific areas to cover
- Describe
how you were confronted with the fact that you had broken
God’s Law (the Ten Commandments), and because
of this you deserved judgement from God.
- Explain how this made you see your desperate need
for Christ.
- Explain how you received Christ into your life.
(i.e. through repenting
of your sins, asking God to forgive you and asking
Jesus to be the Lord and Savior of your life)
† If you use the words “saved” and/or “born
again”, be sure to explain.
After you Received Christ
- What changes have you noticed since receiving Jesus
Christ as
Savior and Lord? Attitudes? Parents? Social
life? Direction and purpose in life? Give
specific examples.
- Have the changes been immediate or gradual?
- What problems or struggles have you had since becoming
a
Christian? Do you handle these problems
or struggles any
differently now?
- What are the benefits of having a personal relationship
with Christ?
It should be our desire to present Jesus Christ
in such a clear and attractive, yet simple way,
that
those who hear
will want
to know
him as well. TOP
