The Role of the Believer in Witnessing
The believer must not be ashamed of the Gospel. Romans 1:16
Witnessing must be accepted as a responsibility. Acts 1:8; 2 Timothy 4:5; Ephesians 6:15,20
Witness must be knowledgeable of basic Bible Doctrine:
Judgment
Reconciliation
Justification
Imputation
Propitiation
Salvation
Sanctification
The believer must be able to emphasize the Gospel
Summary:
Witnessing requires knowledge of doctrine pertinent to the Gospel
The effectiveness of our witnessing depends on the ministry of The Holy Spirit, not our personality
The responsibility to witness belongs to all Christian believers
The believer must be continuously involved in spiritual growth.
Witnessing involves our entire being
We must stay on the subject of the Gospel
