Day 39

Acts 22-24

Paul was nearly beaten to death. If it weren't for the soldiers intervention, the angry people would have killed him. How funny is it that immediately after he was pulled to safety, Paul was standing before those people speaking of his conversion experience. We should learn at least two things from his testimony.

First, we should understand that sharing our testimony is a privilege. If we know that talking to other about our faith is a privilege, we will seek to share it even in times of adversity. Paul spoke to the people who wanted him dead. He didn't hold anything back. He told the truth because he knew that sharing his faith was a privilege.

Next, we can see a template for sharing our faith. All Christians should have their testimony ready to share at all times. Maybe the reason that only 2% of Christians have ever led another person to Christ is because they are not ready with their testimony. Paul shared who he was before Christ. Then, he talked about what happened while he got saved. Lastly, Paul told the people a little of who he was after getting saved. Our testimonies could follow this same template - before, during, and after.

Are you ready to share your testimony? Are you among the drastically low percentage of Christians that have led someone to saving faith in Christ? God wants to use each of us to led others to Him. Be ready.
