We have a mandate in Scripture for communicating the Gospel message by verbally witnessing. The Bible doesn’t end with simply commanding us to share Jesus with others. It tells us how.
How to Verbally Witness to Others
Read through the New Testament and you’ll find a variety of means used in communicating the Gospel Message.
About Verbally Communicating the Gospel Message
That the Good News of Jesus Christ must get verbally communicated is a given. The means by which it gets communicated is the variable. We must never lose sight of the message.
- The Gospel must remain central and not be lost in the process of trying to be relevant.
- The Gospel must remain intact and not be watered down.
The Apostle Paul said, “I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some” (1 Cor. 9:19-23). Notice what he adapted. He said “I” have become all things, not the message. He used “all possible MEANS” but still preached the same Gospel message.
For more about communicating the Gospel message, check out the Outreach Ministry Manual. It takes a look at not only the means of witnessing, but also examines the message itself, the mandate to share it, the messengers, and motivation to witness.
