In the selection of Verses above, we see that Apostle Paul speaking directly to this issue as he addresses the church at Corinth. Although I believe memorizing Scripture is important, it is not necessity when sharing the Good News of Christ with someone. I believe that both of these stems from that idea that we need to be able to speak eloquently about the Bible, and have numerous verses memorized that are applicable to the person, and conversation we find ourselves in. “What if I do not know what to say?” or “What if they ask me a question I cannot answer?” One thing that is certain is that you will, most likely, encounter both of those scenarios. No matter what age group, or maturity level, of believer that this is asked, there is always a common excuse that is used as to why we may not have capitalized on the opportunity. One of the most important duties that we have as Christ-followers is to spread the Gospel message. When was the last time you shared your faith with someone? This is a question that is asked in churches and Sunday school classes on a regular basis, as it should be. My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power. I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling.
For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. And so it was with me, brothers and sisters.
