Equipped To Share Your Faith

Equipped To Share Your Faith

When you give your life to Jesus, everything changes. You don’t need to be a pastor, go to Bible college, or have years of experience before you can tell others about Him. The truth is, once you’ve met Jesus, you are ready. That’s what 2 Corinthians 5:17-20 and John 4:6-10 show us so clearly. They remind us that once we know Christ, we are now His ambassadors. That means we speak for Him, live for Him, and love like Him.

Are You Equipped to Share Your Faith?

2 Corinthians 5:17 starts with something huge: “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.” The old you has gone. It doesn’t matter what you did before—God sees you as brand new. Your past no longer defines you. And that new life comes with a new job. Paul says in verse 20, “We are ambassadors for Christ.” That means you now represent Jesus to the people around you.

You don’t have to know everything. You don’t need all the answers. God doesn’t call perfect people—He calls willing people. If Jesus saved you, you already have the one story you need to begin sharing your faith. He didn’t save you to sit quietly. He saved you so others can meet Him too—through you!

Are You Equipped to Share Like She Was?

Let’s look at the woman at the well in John 4:6-10. She didn’t have a good reputation. In fact, she had five husbands and was living with a man who wasn’t her husband. She came to the well at the hottest time of day, maybe to avoid people who judged her. She was broken, tired, and full of shame.

But Jesus met her right there.

He didn’t ignore her sin. Instead, He called it out with truth, but He also offered her grace. He told her about living water—real life—eternal life. And something powerful happened. She believed Him. She dropped her water jar and ran back to town. This woman, who had been hiding from people, suddenly started telling everyone she met, “Come see a man who told me everything I ever did.”

She didn’t have a sermon, nor did she quote Scripture. She didn’t wait for a class. Ultimately, she just shared what Jesus had done in her life. And that’s what God wants from you. When Jesus meets you, He equips you to share your faith.

Are You Ready?

So, are you equipped to share your faith? If you know Jesus, you already have everything you need. God can use your story just like He used the woman at the well. She went from broken and ashamed to bold and unashamed in minutes. All because she met Jesus.

The same can happen with you.

God is looking for people who will say “yes” to Him. People who will speak up. People who know the joy of being made new and want others to know it too. You are His ambassador now. Let the world see what He’s done in you. Don’t wait. Don’t hide. You’re ready.

Because yes—you are equipped for this.

For Christians This Is Explosive

For Christians This Is Explosive

Romans 1:16-17 is one of the most powerful declarations in Scripture. Paul boldly writes, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith, as it is written, ‘But the righteous man shall live by faith.’”

Paul makes it clear that the gospel is not just good news—it is power. The Greek word he uses for “power” is dunamis, which is where we get our English word “dynamite.” This means the gospel is explosive. It has the power to break the chains of sin, transform hearts, and bring people into a right relationship with God. Nothing else in this world has that kind of power. For Christians this is explosive!

For Christians This Is Explosive Power

Paul declares that the gospel is “the power of God for salvation.” No philosophy, no self-help system, and no amount of good deeds can bring salvation. Only the gospel—the truth that Jesus died and rose again—has the power to save.

Before Paul met Jesus, he was a religious man. He followed the law, studied the Scriptures, and tried to earn righteousness. But none of that saved him. Only when he encountered the risen Christ did he experience the power of salvation. That’s why he wasn’t ashamed of the gospel. He knew firsthand that it could transform lives.

This is still true today. Many try to fix themselves through effort, but the gospel is the only thing that truly changes people. The moment we believe in Jesus, God’s power works in us, making us new. That is why Paul preached the gospel boldly and why we must share it with confidence.

Explosive Faith

Paul quotes Habakkuk 2:4 when he says, “The righteous man shall live by faith.” This Old Testament verse shows that salvation has always been through faith. Even before Jesus came, God made it clear that righteousness was not about works but about trusting Him.

Habakkuk lived in a time of great trouble. Evil surrounded him, and he cried out to God for justice. God’s answer was simple: “The righteous will live by faith.” This means that no matter what happens, those who trust in God will find life.

Paul connects this Old Testament truth to the gospel. From the beginning, God’s plan was for people to be saved through faith, not by trying to be good enough. Jesus fulfilled this plan by dying for our sins and rising again, offering salvation to all who believe.

This is the foundation of Christianity. Other religions say, “Work harder, do more, and maybe you’ll be accepted.” The gospel says, “Believe in Jesus, and you will be saved.” That’s what makes Christianity different. That’s what makes the gospel explosive.

If the gospel is this powerful, why would we ever be ashamed of it? Paul wasn’t, and neither should we be. The world needs this message, and we have been given the mission to share it.
