Are you an Introvert finds hard to share Gospel to strangers? Here is an Article for you.

REGARDING WITNESSING TO THE LOST, I'VE HEARD FROM WAY TOO MANY CHRISTIANS, "THAT'S NOT MY CALLING FROM GOD! I'M A MUSICIAN, OR A CHOIR MEMBER. WITNESSING IS THE JOB FOR THE PREACHER, NOT ME!"

Mark 16:15 "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."

Jesus Christ's command to US is to "GO!" You say, "I'm not very good at talking to people whom I don't know. "How can someone like me," you say, "witness to the lost?" 

THAT'S EASY!

I have a solution for all of you who have a fear about witnessing!

TRACTS! HOW ABOUT THEM? 

Use them as an insert when you pay your bills!   

Give them to the waitress when you eat out somewhere!

Give them out to people who come to your front house door!

Hand them out to everyone where you buy and sell, especially the cashier!

As you're walking into a store, hand them out to people coming out! Tell them that you'd like to share some "Good News" with them! (Who isn't interested in "Good News" in a day which is mostly devoid of good news!?)

This is how I started witnessing to people 35 years ago! This eventually gave me the "courage" to more freely speak about their eternity, either with the Saviour, or without Him suffering in darkness, BURNING in flames that NEVER go out!

Each person whom you see day to day is either going to spend their afterlife in unbelievable joy unspeakable and full of glory, or burning in darkness! (Read Luke 16:19-31 for the ONLY Biblical account of someone speaking out from hell to warn others!)

When we see people the way in which Jesus Christ sees them, He can change our desire to serve our Master! His life, after all, is the reason why WE have in turn been given life when we received Him as our LORD and Saviour!

Remember, Isaiah 55:11 "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."

GOD'S WORD SHALL NEVER RETURN TO HIM EMPTY! Be instant in witnessing when you feel like it, and when you don't! GOD GETS ALL OF THE GLORY ANYWAY! Our job is simply planting seeds!

The Holy Spirit's job is then saving those souls! It's called... teamwork!

The Gospel - Why do I need to get saved?

The Bible presents a clear path to eternal life. First, we must recognize that we have sinned against God: "For all have sinned and fall short of glory of God" (Rom 3:23). We have all done things that are displeasing to God, which makes us deserving of punishment. Since all our sins are ultimately against an eternal God, only an eternal punishment is sufficient. "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Rom 6:23).

However, Jesus Christ, the sinless (1 Pet 2:22), eternal Son of God become a man (Joh 1:1,14) and died to pay our penalty. "God demonstrates His love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Rom 5:8). Jesus Christ died on the cross (Joh 19:31-42), taking the punishment that we deserve (Cor 5:21). Three days later He rose from the dead (1 Cor 15:1-4), proving His victory over sin and death. "In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead" (2 Pet 1:3).

By faith, we must change our mindset regarding Christ - who He is, What He did, and why - for salvation (Acts 3:19). If we place our faith in Him, trusting His death on the cross to pay for our sins, we will be forgiven and receive the promise of eternal life in heaven. "For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life: (Joh 3:16). "If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved: (Rom 10:9). Faith alone in the finished work of Christ on the cross is the only true path to eternal life! "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith -and this not of yourselves, it is the gift of God -not by works, so that no one can boast" (Eph 2:8-9).

If you want to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, here is a sample prayer. Remember, saying this prayer or any other prayer will not save you. It is only trusting in Christ that can save you from sin. This Prayer is simply a way to express to God your faith in Him and thank Him for providing for your salvation. "God, I know that I have sinned against you and deserve punishment. But Jesus Christ took the punishment that I deserve so that through faith in Him I could be forgiven. I place my trust in You for salvation, Thank You for Your wonderful grace and forgiveness - the gift of eternallife. Amen!
