How to Engage in Personal Witnessing Dr. B. Gray Allison President Emeritus How does one make an approach to a lost person so that you can use the Word of God and witness? It cannot be said too often that there is no substitute for the use of the written Word of God in witnessing. This truth does not mean that the Bible is a charm or something magic, but it does something to a person to see written down in God’s Word the truth about himself, his need, what can be done about it, and how to do it. So, use a Bible or a New Testament in witnessing. How does one begin the interview to witness to a lost person? There is a good method which has proved successful. It works with a person whom you know well or a person you have never seen before. Start a casual conversation. Talk about something pleasant. Get on a friendly basis but do not let the conversation stay casual. You can start anywhere in any conversation and use four simple things. One, have you been thinking much about spiritual things? It does not matter what you are talking about you can just start. Whatever he answers you can go immediately to the second thing. What would you say is a person’s greatest spiritual need? Whatever he says you can go immediately to the third thing. The Bible says that it is a salvation experience. Have you had a definite experience with Christ sometime in the past? Notice what was said. Have you had a definite experience with Christ sometime in the past? Now suppose he says “yes” to that question, what would you say? Tell me about it! I like to hear people tell about what Jesus has done for them. If he answers “no” or does not say yes, then say, “May I talk with you about this for a few minutes?” Start right then. Go to the Scripture and talk with him. Another way to begin is to ask: “Have you come to the place in your life that you know for certain that if you died today you would go to Heaven?” If he says yes, ask him how he knows.
