Graciously tell others about what you have personally seen

 “That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We write this to make our joy complete.” (1 John 1-1-4 NIV)

Sharing your personal experience

In the above passage the author says, “We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard.” They tell of their personal experience concerning what they “have seen with their own eyes and what they had personally touched with their own hands”. This approach to sharing ones faith is very effective because it is difficult to argue against someone’s personal experience. In fact, the most powerful witness tool you have as a Christian is your own personal testimony accompanied with God’s Word, as they say above, “concerning the Word of life.”

Be prepared to gently and respectively  give an answer

“Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.” (1 Peter 3:15b NIV)

Graciously make the most of opportunities

“Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time. Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.” (Col. 4:5-6 ESV)
