 Sample from the book: Conclusion

We have arrived at the end of our journey together. If you put into practice the personal Christian evangelism strategy using the principles in this book, you can expect three things to happen.

1) You will develop confidence in sharing the gospel like never before. In Paul's epistles, he speaks of proclaiming the gospel boldly at least ten times. As you apply these principles and rehearse your testimony, your boldness will increase. You will become an effective witness for Christ. It will take commitment and persistence. Do not become discouraged. God is in control!

2) God will bring salvation to some of those you witness to, and you'll see both his saving power and your own weakness made strong in Christ. Paul in 2 Corinthians 12 declared,

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly, therefore, will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

3) Your faith will be strengthened by God's working in you, "both to will and to do his good pleasure" (Philippians 2:13b).

Remember that although it is God who saves, he uses weak human vessels to take the precious gospel to the world. I pray God will bless you as you fulfill the Great Commission by Always being ready to give an answer for the hope that is in you! May God bless you in all your work!
