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:
“Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:19-20).
The goal of these segments is to present one of them with someone you know to begin a conversation. This is a good start for sharing the gospel with someone you know.

The words written in God’s Word were inspired by God upon men via His Holy Spirit. They were written by men, but their thoughts
The apostle Peter knew Jesus Christ personally. He spent three years with Christ during the course of His ministry. Peter observed first-hand the message and power of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Here are some words that Peter expressed about God’s Word: “We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day
In addition to God’s righteousness, He has also revealed His salvation to us. Consider God’s words written by a psalmist: Sing to the LORD a new song, For he has done marvelous things; His right hand and his holy arm Have worked salvation for him.
