Personal Testimony

Personal Testimony means your subjective EXPERIENCE of eternal life.

Eternal life has two dimensions:

1. Blessings of knowing Christ here and now

Fellowship - Christian Fellowship and Friends
Love - God fills us with His love.
Freedom from fear - especially death which leaves some frozen.
New perspectives


2. The everlasting life of growing to know Him even better throughtout eternity. A testimony should always end with a statement of this assurance:

"THE BEST THING ABOUT HAVING ETERNAL LIFE IS THAT I KNOW THAT IF I DIED RIGHT NOW I WOULD GO TO HEAVEN."

Your testimony is used just prior to the diagnostic questions, therefore, do not include the Gospel or use the name of Christ in your testimony. It programs the listner with the answer to the 2nd diagnostic questions.

Avoid cliches and words that are MEANINGLESS to the non-Christian.

We use the phrase received eternal life as a synonym for:
Trusted Christ as my Savior
Repented of my sins...
Covered by the blood
Received Jesus
Born again
