Does My Life Point Others to Jesus?

If I want my life to point others to Jesus, how do I go about it?

This is a question I often think about. 

And I pray this as a request to the Father. 

Perhaps this is a desire you hold and pray. Lord, let others see Jesus in me! Let my life point others to Him.

Lately, this hope and prayer stays at the forefront of my mind. 

So I completed my own soul-searching, looking in the Scriptures, and asking the Holy Spirit to open my spiritual eyes to how my life truly points to Jesus.

Because when Jesus lives in us and we allow the triune God to transform us from the inside out, everything about Him radiates in us and our life. We point others to Jesus in our lives.

When Jesus lives in us and we allow the triune God to transform us from the inside out, everything about Him radiates in us and our life. We point others to Jesus in how we live. Share on X

Point Others to Christ With the Word

(1.) In my salvation. 

It all begins here. Once we have a salvation experience and personal redemption story, we are new creations (1 Corinthians 5:17). Christ is our Savior.

In Galatians 1, the Apostle Paul recounts his life before Christ. He shares an impressive religious resume and all that he attained. Yet, look at how he ends the chapter.

“And I was still unknown in person to the churches of Judea that are in Christ. They only were hearing it said, ‘He who used to persecute us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.’ And they glorified God because of me.” Galatians 1:22-24 (ESV, emphasis added)

Notice how Paul never wrote that others glorified me because of me. No, God received the glory for the saving work of Jesus in Paul’s life. 

We have a story to share, a personal testimony of Jesus saving our soul and giving us eternal life.
