New Believers Guide
Step 6: Share
When His disciples asked Jesus what was the greatest commandment, “Jesus replied: ‘“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”’ So one of the most important things we can do as Christians is to love others. This can mean to be kind; to think of others; to forgive people when they sin against us; to do what is good for them.

One of the greatest ways we can love others is to tell people about Jesus. When Jesus left His disciples, He told them that they would be His witnesses - they were to tell others about Him. As Christians, we have the privilege of telling other people the good news that Christ died for them. There are many ways of doing this: you can talk to people about Jesus, you can send them an e-mail about God, you can give them a Christian book. You can ask God to have His love shine through you. God “desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:4), so you can go in the power of the Holy Spirit and tell others about the salvation available through belief in Jesus Christ!
