At times we think there are many things we must say when witnessing about Christ. The truth is our messages never change; Jesus is the way to Heaven. He is the ticket or free pass that God has provided in order for us to spend eternity in Heaven.

The Bible says that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation. So we should learn how to speak the word of God in love.

1 John 5:11
And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

John 3:36
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on him.

John 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

It can be hard to think of things to say, without freaking people out... sometimes though, it's best to just say it simple... just keep it simple and inform people of what the gospel says about how Jesus is the only way. 

We should always be looking for opportunities to give God the glory for things in our lives. If we can learn how to do this in subtle ways throughout various moments of our day, the Holy Spirit can begin to reveal to those around us who Jesus is.

John 12:32“But I, when I (Jesus) am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself.”

There are times when we are to boldly proclaim the reality of our Lord to others and shout it from the rooftops. I believe that we are to be ready IN season and OUT of season to speak to others about our best friend, Lord and Savior.

To lift Jesus higher in subtle ways is like climbing a ladder one step at a time. Here’s the key: you only take an occasional step higher on the ladder with those whom you interact with on a daily basis. Eventually, the many steps on the ladder you have taken will take you to the place of lifting the name of Jesus higher. During all of those steps, the Lord will be drawing men to himself through your obedience and willingness to be a witness for him.

Ask God to help you lift Jesus higher. If you do this, I believe that He will begin to fill your mouth with words from heaven. Your conversations will occasionally be seasoned with the salt of the earth and Jesus will be lifted higher.
