The Christian life is a gift from God, but to share the gospel with others is to allow them (family and friends) to enjoy the same gift that we have! These short segments will allow you to focus on one aspect of God and His Word (or gospel, also known as the Bible). Sometimes we feel reluctant to share with others because we are not sure what to say or we might feel timid about it. Jesus was clear about this but also provided some solace:

Many have sought to conjecture who God is and how He operates, but there is no other source for this information other than God’s Word. God empowered human authors by His Holy Spirit to record His Word in one volume, unchanged over the centuries: “For
For a Christian, there are two components that allow us to function in the spiritual realm as shown in the figure: a person’s spirit and their soul (Hebrews 4:12). A person’s spirit is what allows them to have a relationship with Jesus Christ. This component of a person (whether they have a relationship with Christ or not) allows them to live after their physical body dies. For those who have a relationship with Jesus Christ,
Why is the Word of God (the Bible) necessary in a person’s life? Have you ever considered that? There are so many concerns that require our attention in our lives today: God, family, work, friends, hobbies, house/apartment chores/maintenance, relaxation, etc. It seems that our time is already consumed before we even think about God or His Word.
