GO INTO ALL THE WORLD AND PREACH

THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.

MARK 16:15 NKJV
Your personal testimony is a resource to
help you build bridges, instead of burning
them, when sharing the gospel with others.
It lets people see that you were once in
their shoes, but have now been transformed
by the power of Christ. To help you share
your testimony, Harvest Ministries has
developed The One-Minute Message. This
handy reference card ts in your pocket,
purse, or Bible and helps you share the
gospel through the story of what God has
done in your life.
O N E - M I N U T E M E S S A G E
MY LIFE BEFORE CHRIST
Dont glorify your past, but mention how you were before Christ:
I had a void in my life that nothing could fill (Ecclesiastes 3:11).
I felt separated from God (Isaiah 59:2).
My life was dominated by sin and with pleasing myself (Luke 15:1124).
Share how you never felt that you could become the person you
ought to be.
MY LIFE CHANGED BY CHRIST
Now summarize how you came into a relationship with Christ.
Be sure to mention the key elements of the gospel:
1. I realized that Im a sinner and that I fall short of Gods
glory (Romans 3:23).
2. I recognized that Jesus Christ died on the cross for my
sins (Romans 5:8).
3. I repented or turned away from my sins (Acts 3:19).
4. I received Jesus Christ as Lord of my life (Revelation 3:20).

MY NEW LIFE IN CHRIST
Talk about how your life is noticeably different now that you are in Christ.
Put into your own words the following benefits of being in Christ:
I now have peace in my life (Romans 5:1).
Now that Im a Christian, I know I have a purpose for living (Jeremiah 29:11).
I now have the assurance that Im going to heaven (John 3:36).
