Just as in the physical life the continued existence of the human race depends on reproduction, as one generation produces the following generation, so the growth of the body of Christ depends on our ability as Christians to reproduce our new life in others.

We have a responsibility, given to us by God, to share the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ with those who have not yet responded to His invitation to eternal life. Notice that I did not say that we have the responsibility to lead other people to Christ. Our responsibility is to share the gospel. It is God who works in people's lives to bring them to faith.

In order to adequately share this marvelous good news, we must first be sure that we understand it ourselves. Then find a way that is natural and comfortable for you to share with others. Some people use the Four Spiritual Laws (developed by Campus Crusade). Others use what they call the "Roman Road" (a series of verses from the Book of Romans that encapsulate the gospel message). A good Web site to share with someone you care about is the NeedHim site, with which you can share the gospel with a man, woman, child, young adult , or any friend or family member.

There are many good ways to share the gospel. What is most important is that we take advantage of opportunities to share. There is nothing more exciting than to see God at work in bringing someone to Himself.
