Can a Christian lead a non-believer to Christ by sharing their personal redemption story? Should they? We were commissioned to share the Gospel of Christ, the good news of eternal salvation. We have many tools at our disposal as evidence that the Gospel is true. Witness can be among the most powerful of those tools because of the human connection of shared experience and the visible component of changed lives. As R.C. Sproul once said, “A Christian’s testimony may be good news of a changed life, but in and of itself, it’s not the GOSPEL.”
