AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 1:18 ¶ For the message of the cross is foolishness [absurd and illogical] to those who are perishing and spiritually dead [because they reject it], but to us who are being saved [by God's grace] it is [the manifestation of] the power of God. |
Bible Question: why is it difficult for the average christian to share his or faith with unbelievers. |
Bible Answer: Hi, Deacon... I think there are two broad reasons: 1. Most professing believers don't really know the Lord. We talk about the things we love. 2. Most professing believers can't articulate the gospel. They don't understand it. They aren't studying the gospel, applying the gospel, living the gospel, or rehearsing the gospel to themselves. In Him, Doc |
