TLDR
Sharing the gospel isn’t just for preachers—it’s for every believer. The moment you’re born again, you’re qualified by God to carry the Good News everywhere you go. In this post are some very practical methods of sharing the gospel, how to overcome fear of sharing the gospel, and what to say when sharing the gospel with others. This isn’t about technique—it’s about intimacy with Jesus, knowing your identity, and allowing the love of God to flow through your life. The world is waiting, and Heaven is ready to back you up!
You Are Already Qualified to Share the Gospel
So many believers sit back and wait for someone “more spiritual” to lead people to Jesus. But listen—when you said “yes” to Jesus, you were immediately qualified to be His ambassador! You don’t need a pulpit, a degree, or the perfect words. All you need is Jesus. The Holy Spirit lives inside of you and He wants to be released through you!
Sharing the gospel starts with knowing who you are. You’re not a sinner trying to do better. You’re a saint, a son or daughter of the King, and the Spirit of the living God wants to reveal Jesus through your life.
The Foundation for Sharing the Gospel: Identity and Righteousness
The most effective methods of sharing the gospel start with identity. You’ve got to understand that you’re not working to be holy—you’ve been made holy. That changes everything. When you believe you’re forgiven, clean, and righteous, you’ll carry a boldness the world can’t explain. That boldness is contagious.
We’re not trying to impress people into Heaven—we’re loving them there. And the power behind sharing the gospel with others flows from your intimacy with Jesus. If you’re filled with His love, you can’t help but let it spill out.
What to Say When Sharing the Gospel
You don’t have to memorize a script. Just speak from the overflow of your time spent with God and in His Word. You can start simple:
“Hey, I just wanted to tell you something—Jesus loves you so much.”
Or share a story: “Can I tell you what Jesus did for me?”
Your testimony is powerful. The word “testimony” literally means “do it again.” When you share what Jesus has done in your life, you release faith for Him to move in someone else’s life.
What to say when sharing the gospel isn’t about eloquence—it’s about the truth of God’s Word, spoken in love. You’re not selling something; you’re revealing Someone.
How to Overcome Fear of Sharing the Gospel
Fear is one of the biggest things that stops believers from opening their mouths. But fear is a liar.
How do you overcome fear of sharing the gospel? Know that God’s love casts out fear. (1 John 4:18) When you’re filled with love, fear is driven out, and boldness comes naturally. The more time you spend with Jesus in His Word, the more you’ll be transformed by truth—and the truth will always confront fear.
You might feel nervous. That’s okay. Do it anyway. Boldness isn’t the absence of fear—it’s choosing to speak even when fear tries to hold you back.
You Carry Revival
You’re not waiting for revival. You are revival. Every time you love someone, pray for someone, or lead someone to Jesus, you’re releasing Heaven on Earth.
You don’t need a platform to preach. You need a heart that burns. At the gas station. At school. At work. Everywhere. That’s where revival begins.
There are so many ways of sharing the gospel, and none of them are wrong when you’re walking in love. Whether you give a prophetic word, share your testimony, or just offer to pray, it’s all about letting the love of Jesus flow.
Step Into the Harvest
The world isn’t looking for another argument—they’re looking for authenticity. Real love. Real hope. Real freedom. That’s J E S U S.
You’re called to reproduce. That’s what discipleship is. Jesus said, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…” (Matthew 28:19) That’s not a suggestion—it’s a command. Sharing the gospel is about multiplying what God has done in you. Let Him reproduce Himself through your life.
Your Challenge Today
Declare it out loud:
“I AM A CONDUIT FOR THE GLORY OF JESUS.”
Now act like it. Ask the Holy Spirit to lead you to one person today who needs to hear the Good News, and allow Him to show you how you need to share the gospel with them. Don’t overthink it. Don’t hesitate. Step out.
Because the world isn’t going to be changed by passive Christians—it’s going to be transformed by burning ones!
