This is called evangelism. Yeshua\u2019s imperative command in Mark 16:15 to \u201cgo into all the world and preach the gospel\u2026!\u201d is not \u201cthe great suggestion,\u201d but \u201cthe great commission!\u201d To many, it has become \u201cthe great omission.\u201d We\u2019re often afraid to share our faith with others because we\u2019re afraid they might think negatively of us if we do.<\/p>\n<p>Human need demands that we reach out to the lost and hurting people around us. Like Yeshua, we must seek to save the lost (Luke 19:10). Like Yeshua, we must meet people at their point of need by finding the need and meeting it with the gospel message, the Word of YHVH and the love of Yeshua.<\/p>\n<p>Compassion and love for the lost and hurting will compel us to share the good news with others. This is something Yeshua demonstrated (Matt 9:36; 14:14; 15:32; 20:34).<\/p>\n<p>We must have a love for the lost. Pray to the Father that he gives you a supernatural love for the lost as Yeshua had. Love sensitizes us to the needs of others. Love makes you want to reach out to others. Love makes you forget about yourself and casts out the fear of witnessing or the fear of what others may think (1\u2009John 4\u201318).<\/p>\n<p>We will have an easy time sharing the gospel of Yeshua with others if we still have the joy of our salvation. If we have lost that joy, pray for it to come back as David prayed in Psalm 51:12\u201313. Perhaps sin, the cares of this life, fear or other things are blocking that joy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The New Testament Model for Evangelism<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A study of the Testimony of Yeshua (or New Testament) reveals that the dominant model <!--more-->that Yeshua and the apostles followed when witnessing to unbelievers roughly followed the outline below:<\/p>\n<p>1. Present and exalt the Father Elohim.<\/p>\n<p>2. Present sin as the problem. Man has sinned by breaking Elohim\u2019s laws (i.e., the Torah, 1 John 3:4), and has fallen short of the glory man had with Elohim before he fell into sin (Rom 3:23).<\/p>\n<p>3. Man must repent of breaking Elohim\u2019s laws (i.e., rebellion against the commands or Word of Elohim) if he is to have a restored loving relationship with Elohim, and to have salvation and eternal life (i.e., to enter into the kingdom of Elohim).<\/p>\n<p>4. Salvation or redemption from sin\u2019s death penalty is only available through Yeshua the Messiah.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Helpful Pointers on Being an Effective Gospel Witness<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Live it; tell it. Be willing to share your personal testimony of how following the Word of Elohim has blessed you. You may not be a biblical scholar, but you have a testimony of what YHVH has done in your life, so share it. People can argue theology, doctrine or the Bible all day long, but no one can argue with your personal testimony of how knowing Yeshua has changed your life for the better.<\/li>\n<li>YHVH isn\u2019t looking for capability; he\u2019s looking for availability. You may not think that you\u2019re capable of sharing your faith with others (called witnessing). That\u2019s okay. Just do it in faith, and YHVH\u2019s Spirit will give you the words to speak to others. The more you do it, the bolder and more capable you will become.<\/li>\n<li>You need the baptism of the Spirit of Elohim for divine empowerment to witness. This follows Yeshua\u2019s instructions to his disciples in Acts 1:4\u20138 resulting in empowerment on the day of Pentecost with 3000 people being baptized.<\/li>\n<li>Meet people at their point of need. When you do this, you open the door either to share the gospel with them, or at least to plant a spiritual seed. If they\u2019re hungry, feed them; naked, cloth them; or sick, heal them. If they need someone to talk to, listen to them. Comfort them when they\u2019re hurting. There are a myriad human needs.\u00a0 Learn to identify them and pray for wisdom to know how to meet those needs.<\/li>\n<li>Be a spiritual seed planter\u2014a spiritual Johnny Appleseed. Everywhere you go, plant seeds. Trust YHVH to water the seed and to bring someone else to harvest the fruit.<\/li>\n<li>Pray for opportunities to share the gospel with others. Pray that the Spirit of Elohim will order your steps (Pss 37:4\u20135,\u20097,\u200923\u201324) and bring divine appointments to you. Then be on the look out for those everyday opportunities as Yeshua did when talking to the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4:15\u201316) to witness to others. Be opportunistic. Don\u2019t just wait for opportunities to smack you in the face. When being a fisher of men, don\u2019t wait for the fish to come to you; go to the fish. Yeshua commanded us to go into the world, not the world come to us (Mark 16:15). Meet your neighbors. Get involved in community activities. Look for opportunities to minister to people wherever you go.<\/li>\n<li>When being a sower of seed, don\u2019t wait until you find the perfect ground in which to sow the seed. Scatter it far and wide. The problem isn\u2019t that there is a lack of good ground to sow the seed into, but that the seed never gets out of the barn!<\/li>\n<li>When witnessing, don\u2019t share too much too quickly. Don\u2019t choke someone on the meat of the Word when they can only handle the milk of the Word (1 Cor 3:1\u20132). Give a person only what they\u2019re ready for. Listen intently to their heart and need, then pray for the right words that will meet that need, and say little more. Meet those needs with the message of the gospel. Don\u2019t feel compelled to give them the whole Bible message from Genesis to Revelation. Salt their oats by leaving them with some unanswered questions, so they\u2019ll want to come back for more.<\/li>\n<li>Find areas of common interest with others and on that basis build a common rapport with them, and then use that as a springboard to build a relationship so that you can witness to them. Yeshua did this when talking to the woman at the well in John 4. They both were thirsty for water.<\/li>\n<li>Share the gospel message with passion and conviction. View yourself as a spiritual salesman. Be earnest and believable. Don\u2019t pretend to have all the answers, but you know who does! Be yourself. Be real. When witnessing, don\u2019t try to be someone you\u2019re not. Hypocrisy and pretense isn\u2019t very believable.<\/li>\n<li>Be careful about using Christian or biblical terms and lingo that may cause a language barrier that the unsaved may not understand. Define your terms as you&#8217;re sharing your faith.<\/li>\n<li>Slow down. Stop and talk to people. Get to know them. Look for opportunities to plant spiritual seeds. Steer the conversation toward spiritual issues. Troll for the fish, bait the hook carefully and when they bite begin to reel in the fish.<\/li>\n<li>Develop the natural habit of conversing with strangers and casual acquaintances about the Bible and Yeshua. It may help you to feel comfortable discussing biblical things with people you don\u2019t know well. Use them as a practice for developing your own natural style. This will prepare you for witnessing to total strangers when the opportunities come along.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Practical Things You Can Do to Share the Gospel With Others<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Place bumper stickers or vanity plates on your vehicle that have scripture verses on them.<\/li>\n<li>On your telephone answering machine or voice mail, greet everyone with a quick gospel-related Bible verse.<\/li>\n<li>Carry gospel tracts with you and look for opportunities to distribute them. Place them in fun and exciting conspicuous and inconspicuous places in rest rooms, the grocery store, the library, bus stops, rest areas, or restaurants. Place your phone number on the back of the tract. Prepare for action!<\/li>\n<li>Remember that your actions speak louder than your words. Your life may be the only Bible that some people read! So be careful what you do and how you act. Be a good witness to your neighbors.<\/li>\n<li>Wear biblical apparel such as hats and tee-shirts with provocative and challenging Bible messages printed on them.<\/li>\n<li>Place Bible verses on your email tag lines. The Word of Elohim doesn\u2019t return void (Isa 55:11)!<\/li>\n<li>Print scripture verses on your checks, and hand out business or name cards with scripture verses on them.<\/li>\n<li>Call or send a letter to a lost friend with the purpose of sharing your testimony or the gospel with them. Find out what their needs and struggles are and then give them a word of encouragement. Pray with them. Maybe even invite them to church. Give them a devotional book or a Bible as a gift. Mark the Bible with the plan of salvation.<\/li>\n<li>Put a gospel tract in the drive-thru bank teller&#8217;s drawer, or in the window of the next fast food restaurant you visit, or give a tract with the money you give to a store clerk.<\/li>\n<li>Start a Bible study in your home for some friends or neighbors.<\/li>\n<li>When you meet someone with a biblical name, tell them the meaning of their name and use it as an opportunity to witness to them. For example, one of the most popular boys\u2019 names is <i>Joshua, <\/i>which comes from the Hebrew name <i>Yeshua<\/i> meaning \u201csalvation.\u201d Need we say anymore?<\/li>\n<li>When someone lets you know that they\u2019re struggling with a health issue or a personal problem ask them if you can pray for them on the spot. Almost no one will turn you down. This is an excellent way to open the spiritual door of personal evangelism.<\/li>\n<li>Start talking about politics or the problems in the world, and when the person agrees that the world is a mess, slip in the Bible, Yeshua, the fear of God, or the gospel message as the answer to the problems of man, and man\u2019s need for spiritual revival. Such an approach can open up some great opportunities for seed planting.<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019re retired, or have extra time on your hands, there are a lot of volunteer opportunities where you can engage in outreach. Most of these will cost you only your time and the gas to get there. Nursing homes and rehab centers are a great place to start.<\/li>\n<li>There is no end to the possibilities of using the power of the internet to spread the gospel. With the advent of the worldwide web, websites, YouTube, and email, the possibilities are endless. Pray for ideas.<\/li>\n<li>Volunteer at a homeless shelter.<\/li>\n<li>When talking to people, try tossing out verbal grenades (loaded questions) that might spark a heated discussion subject that can lead to an opportunity to share the gospel. Questions could include, \u201cWhat is the purpose of life?\u201d \u201cWhy were you born\u2014what is your destiny?\u201d \u201cWhat will happen when you die?\u201d \u201cWhat do you want your legacy to be when you die?\u201d \u201cWhat is the greatest problem facing man and how can he solve it?\u201d When asking such questions, timing is important, and fitting the right question to the right audience is essential. Pray for the Holy Spirit to guide you in this.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Other Ways to Support Evangelistic Efforts<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Intercede for the lost through prayer. Give prayer support to those who are actively evangelizing (Ezek 22:30).<\/li>\n<li>Giving financially to support those who are actively evangelizing.<\/li>\n<li>Sharing with those who are actively evangelizing. Support them in any way possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: '\\&quot;Go Ye Therefore Into All the World\\&quot;\u2014A Guide to Sharing Your Faith',url: 'https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2013\/06\/08\/a-guide-to-sharing-your-faith\/',contentID: 'post-3059',suggestTags: 'Evangelism,Gospel,Salvation,Witnessing',providerName: 'Hoshana Rabbah Blog',styling: 'text' });return false\" class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryLink\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.evernote.com\/article-clipper.png\" \nclass=\"evernoteSiteMemoryButton\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryClear\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the summer months upon us and the weather improving, people begin to interact more with each other.
