But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear.
1 Peter 3:15
Q & A：
- Discuss if you came to know God through hearing someone’s personal testimony or witnessing someone’s life-changing living testimony. Why is sharing a personal testimony on your conversion and how God has changed your life an effective tool, especially with someone who may not be ready to hear the gospel yet. (1 Pet 3:15; Rom 1:16)
- Q2: Using the Biblical example of Apostle Paul’s conversion testimony, explain what his life was like before and after receiving Christ and what made the dramatic change possible. Knowing that “going to church does not make you a Christian”, what are the key events that lead to your conversion and when is the defining moment that you truly received Christ into your life? (cr. Act 20, 22)
- As everyone’s life story is unique and captivating in different ways, practice sharing your personal testimony based on the 4 key parts: i) what my life was like before becoming a Christian? ii) how I came to realize the need to follow Jesus? iii) how I accepted Christ? iv) what it means to me to be a Christian?
