How to Share Your Faith Without Fear: Evangelism Tips from the Great Commission
Key Verse: “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” —Matthew 28:19-20 (NIV)
Sharing your faith can feel intimidating. Fear of rejection, awkwardness, or not having “all the answers” often holds believers back. Yet Jesus’ Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20 isn’t a suggestion—it’s a command wrapped in a promise: He is with us. Here’s how to embrace evangelism boldly and authentically.
1. Understand the Heart of the Great Commission
The Great Commission isn’t about debates or pressure—it’s about making disciples. Jesus’ command focuses on three actions:
Go: Step out of your comfort zone.
Make Disciples: Invest in relationships.
Teach: Help others grow in faith.
2. Build Authentic Relationships First
People don’t care what you know until they know you care. Jesus modeled relational evangelism—eating with sinners (Luke 15:2) and healing the broken (Mark 2:17).
Practical Steps:
Listen more than you speak.
Serve others without agenda.
Share meals or coffee to foster trust.
3. Share Your Story (Testimony)
Your personal encounter with Christ is powerful. The Samaritan woman in John 4:29 simply said, “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did,” and her testimony drew her entire village to Jesus.
How to Craft Your Testimony:
Life before Christ.
How you met Him.
The difference He’s made.
4. Ask Questions & Listen Actively
Jesus often asked questions to spark spiritual conversations (e.g., “What do you want me to do for you?” – Mark 10:51).
Try These:
“What gives you hope in tough times?”
“Have you ever explored faith in God?”
5. Use Simple, Everyday Methods
You don’t need a theology degree. Start small:
Prayer Walks: Pray for your neighborhood.
Social Media: Post verses or encouraging content.
Invitations: Bring a friend to church or a small group.
6. Rely on the Holy Spirit
Jesus promised, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witnesses” (Acts 1:8). Pray for guidance and trust His timing.
7. Overcome Fear with Faith
Fear is normal, but remember:
Jesus is with you (Matthew 28:20).
Results aren’t your responsibility—only obedience.
Practice builds confidence. Start with one conversation.
Start Small, Trust God’s Promise
The Great Commission isn’t about perfection—it’s about taking steps of faith. Remember, Jesus doesn’t send you alone. He is with you always.
