Most Christians would love to share the gospel with their friends and coworkers. But many of them don’t know how to begin this kind of conversation. Others are afraid they will be viewed as religious zealots.
RW360’s new Transformed pamphlet is designed to help Christians overcome these hurdles and share the gospel easily and winsomely with the people in their lives.
The first step of this process is to use the companion Transformed by the Gospel Bible Study to embrace the transforming power of the gospel so fully that your friendships, marriage and work relationships are so joyful and fulfilling that others cannot help but see that a supernatural power is at work in your life.
The second step of this process is to use one of the strategies in the Six Ways to Use the Transformed Pamphlet to initiate conversations that make it natural and easy for you to describe how Jesus has changed your life. Then use the simple gospel presentation in the pamphlet to explain how others can find salvation and experience a changed life by trusting in Christ.
When church leaders teach entire congregations to live and witness this way, they set the stage for the kind of church growth described in Acts 2:47, where the lives and relationships of the early believers reflected the transforming power of the gospel so vividly that “the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.”
This pamphlet and its companion Bible study were derived from a sermon I love to preach. Pastors are welcome to share these resources freely as they develop their own sermons describing the glorious, supernatural transforming power of the gospel.
