Equippage

We are compelled to share the gospel. Or are we coerced? Often in life we are guilt-tripped by leaders and friends to share the gospel with non-believers, but for most of us it is scary, and the other person always has questions we can’t answer. We are not properly equipped. So we read all the Lewis and Keller we can find to polish up our apologetics, and memorize key articles on answeresingenesis.org, but they still ask questions we can’t answer, and they still don’t believe. But just as David was well equipped by Saul before facing Goliath and wasn’t comfortable using anything except the gifts God gave him and his trust in God himself, so we must not step out and convince others using someone else’s Christianity, but our own lives transformed by the gospel’s scandal of grace. If we don’t know the gospel ourselves, how can we share it?
