How to Share Your Testimony
Your testimony can be a simple and effective way to share the Gospel... the Good News of Jesus Christ. It can also help and encourage others who believe. Though it takes some boldness, it's something that every Christian is able to do. You are simply telling the story of how you came to place your faith and trust in Jesus Christ as the One who saves you from your sins. It's your story. You lived it, and so you know it well. And in telling it, you may find that God uses you to draw someone to Himself. Regardless of what happens, you will be pleasing God because you are doing what He has asked His followers to do. As we are obedient we can confidently leave the results up to Him.
Some examples of people giving testimonies in the Bible:
Psalm 40:1-3 (David speaks of God's deliverance)
Mark 5:18-20 (The man who had been demon-possessed)
John 9 (The man who had been blind)
Acts 22:1-21 (Paul giving His testimony to the Jews)
Acts 26:1-23 (Paul giving His testimony to King Agrippa)
