God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The best advice I can give about [sharing your faith]:
1. Pray for the chance to share your faith.
2. Pray to be ready to share your faith.
3. Pray for discretion in sharing your faith.
4. Pray for words to share your faith.
5. Pray for patience to listen as you share your faith.
6. Pray for God to prepare your friend’s heart and mind as you share your faith.
7. Pray to thank God for the opportunity to glorify His name.
The only hope there is of standing righteous and acceptable before God is by receiving by faith what another has done for you. All self-attainment, self-accomplishment, self-righteousness must be abandoned realizing the vanity and hopelessness of bringing to pass our own right standing before God. We must humble ourselves before a holy God, recognize our sin, acknowledge our complete inability to remove that sin. Then we must embrace what Christ has done for us, instead of us, paying the penalty of our sin in our place in order to bring to us, by faith, a credited righteousness by which God may rightly justify us as ungodly sinners. Look to Christ and Christ alone.
