Scripture reveals that sharing the Gospel is both a command from Jesus and the natural overflow of encountering His redemption.
Scripture on Spreading The Word
Matthew 28:19-20
New Testament
"Jesus came to them and said, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 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.'"
Romans 10:14-15
New Testament
"How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: 'How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!'"
2 Timothy 4:2
New Testament
"Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction."
Psalm 107:2
Old Testament
"Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story—those he redeemed from the hand of the foe."
1 Peter 3:15
New Testament
"Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect."
The Bottom Line
You don't have to be perfect to tell others what God has done—you just have to be willing.
Try Today
Tell one person today—a friend, family member, or coworker—one specific way God has helped you or changed you. Keep it honest and brief.
Prayer
Jesus taught us to ask the Father for boldness in speaking His name (Acts 4:29).
Father, I'm often afraid to talk about my faith—afraid of looking foolish, of saying the wrong thing, of being rejected. But Your Word says the Gospel is power, not weakness. Give me courage today to speak naturally about what You've done in my life. Help me see the people around me not as judgments to fear, but as souls You love. Make my words simple, honest, and full of grace. I trust You with the results. In Jesus' name, Amen.
