Faith requires obedience. Obedience comes from love and self-discipline. When you are obedient to God, then you are a witness. If you are a witness, then you have a testimony. If you have a testimony, then you can tell people about Jesus and invite them to have a relationship with their creator.
Faith comes down to what you believe and having a heart of submission. Faith is a journey because not all of life's questions are answered immediately. You have to work through your human perspective getting a clearer vision of God's perspective to decide on some aspects of life. Other aspects like how to get to heaven, who God is, and sin are cut and dry. You will mature in your understanding, but at the end of the day your opinion doesn't matter. What God says is and it will not change because you want it to.
Sharing your faith takes sensitivity. You don't want to sound like you are apologizing for what you believe, but you don't want to push the person away either. You need time to have them really hear you and see that your heart is not judging them.
Faith's focus is on Jesus. Jesus will transform you from the inside out. All you have to do is allow the world to see you. If they really look, then they will see aspect of Jesus in you. It will either attract them to you, make them angry, or make them avoid you. Don't take it personally. It is the affect Jesus has on people.
Your part in faith is to have conversations with people that you know are not believers. The Holy Spirit will do the work behind your words. Do not put so much pressure on yourself that you never talk to people. If the person comes to faith, then you take them under your wing to disciple them or introduce them to someone else that may be a better fit to disciple them. Do not turn your faith into work. It is a part of who you are. Let it become natural.
