Acts 26

A disciple of Jesus Christ is:

• A follower of Jesus Christ, desiring to learn His ways and apply them to his life.
• A person who puts Christ first in all areas of his life.
• Is committed to a life of purity and is taking steps to separate from sin.
• Demonstrates faithfulness and a desire to learn and apply the Word of God to his life.

A disciple has a heart for witnessing, gives his testimony clearly and presents the Gospel regularly with increasing skill.

Evangelism is a lifestyle.

In the early church evangelism was characterized by

• Openly identifying with Jesus (Acts 5:42)
• Demonstrating the fruits of the Spirit (Acts 4:13)
• Actively seeking to influence others toward Christ (Acts 11:19-21)

The importance of testimony Acts 26

• What I was before I met Christ (Acts 26:4-5 and 9-12)
• How I came to know Christ (Acts 26:12-18)
• The benefits of knowing Christ (Acts 26:19-23)

A plan of presenting the Gospel is important so that you will have an organized way of telling the facts without being drawn away from the purpose of reaching a person for Christ.
