I asked Teri the other day if she could remember anyone ever engaging her about Christianity while she was out. No, never. I never have either. Is your experience similar? 

Pew Research says that the number of Christians in the US today is around 2/3 but was around 90% in the early 1990s. Unsurprisingly, the number is spiraling down when few are sharing/living their faith. Even if few engage in witnessing while out, we have never had a neighbor ask either. The goal is not to criticize others but to let that be an example to motivate you. 

Think about the fact that the God of creation, Jesus Christ, came to this world to die a cruel death on a cross to purchase us for Himself, not to have our best life now. By His blood, we are owned by Him to bring glory to Him and the Father. “And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight” (Colossians 1:21-22). We have the greatest, most wonderful gift in all creation, and we aren’t telling others? How can that be? People will rave about restaurants and entertainment they like but be mute about Jesus. Oh, God forgive us. 

“Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus” (Colossians 1:28).
