1 | helping someone to believe? | John 3:16 | anyabenj | 65612 | ||
How do you help someone to receive Christ if they are so analytical and they are used to having facts and seeing to believe something. I know that it is by faith the we are saved and that we believe, so how do you deal with someone like this? | ||||||
2 | helping someone to believe? | John 3:16 | Robert Nicholson | 65613 | ||
We must remember that "salvation is of the Lord" Jonah 2:9 There is nothing you are I can do except present the gospel clearly to a lost sinner. It is God who by his Spirit strives with them and if they should turn in repentance it is God who reveals to them Christ as Saviour. It may be that Romans 5 would help an analytical person as it goes into detail how we are justified by faith. However, if a lost sinner is going to come to Christ, they must give up on analysing and doing and rest in the finished work of Christ by faith. We cannot help someone to believe, we can only present the reality of the One who is believeable, our Lord Jesus Christ. It is difficult for us to realize that within ourselves we are less than Zero, and yet our souls are so precious to God in that he was willing to give his Son to die for our salvation. I pray that your friend would stop trying to analize God and know what it is to place simple child-like faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ upon the Cross. He alone can save. God bless you Robert |
