“Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the LORD.” Psalm 40:3 (NLT)

Because of Jesus, you can have your past forgiven, a purpose for living, and a home in heaven. Telling others about the hope you have in Jesus is the most loving thing you can do.

When people see the difference Jesus makes in your life, it has an impact. The Bible says, “Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the LORD” (Psalm 40:3 NLT).

To help you share the hope of Jesus with the people in your life, you can start with these three simple actions:

Listen first. Every person on the planet has a deep hunger to be heard, to be understood, and to have their feelings validated. Proverbs 18:13 says, “Listen before you answer” (GNT). Your ears are great tools for showing love to someone. When you listen to another person, you can find the key to their heart.

Share your stories. Notice I said “stories,” not “story.” Why? Because you have many stories, or testimonies. A lot of people think they only have one testimony—the testimony of how they came to Christ. But has God ever helped you with a financial, relational, or health problem? You have hundreds of powerful testimonies that can point people to Jesus.

Bring people to worship. One of the best ways you can share the Good News is to bring people to church. As they walk into a service, they will see believers coming together, worshiping God, and learning together from God’s Word. Acts 2:47 says, “At the same time, they praised God and had the good will of all the people. Every day the Lord saved people, and they were added to the group” (GW).

Most people are spiritually empty because they don’t know about the hope Jesus gives. What step can you take today to bring someone into the family of God?
