Would you admit that you have been
guilty of the sin of silence? Where does
it say in the Bible that this is a sin? Jesus’
command in the Great Commission is to

HCSB). Failure to do so is rebellion against God.

If you died right now, where would you go?
If what you believe were not true, would you want to know it?

24. Responding to the Challenge to Share Jesus
Why is it so difficult to trust in the power of the Holy Spirit and God’s Word?

25. Responding to the Challenge to Share Jesus
Five questions that lead to a point of decision:
Are you a sinner?
Do you want forgiveness for your sins?
Do you believe Jesus died on the cross for you and rose again?
Are you willing to surrender your life to Christ?
Are you ready to invite Jesus into your life and into your heart? (Be silent and pray.)

26. Responding to the Challenge to Share Jesus
The prayer:
Heavenly Father, I have sinned against You. I want forgiveness of all my sins. I believe Jesus died on the cross for me and rose again. Father, I give You my life to do with as You wish. I want Jesus Christ to come into my life and into my heart. I ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

“I pray that you will be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ”
(Philem. 6, NIV).
