A great way to share the gospel and tell others about Jesus is to tell them your story. Christians have two stories: the gospel and their own story; their testimony. You know, I have never met an atheist (or an agnostic) who can say: ‘Do you know what, atheism has really changed my life… you should have seen my life before I became an atheist!’ But every Christian can say that! A great way to share the gospel and tell others about Jesus, is to tell them your story; the story that God tells about you in heaven. Everyone has a story. Who is Jesus to you? (Tell them how things were for you before; what happened; and how things are now.) In the final analysis people can’t argue with our experience, which is why a Christian’s testimony is so effective.
