Bible Question: How can we convince someone to become a Christian? |
Bible Answer: Dear PGS, it sounds like you have a burden for the lost. When I first became a believer, about 35 years ago, I would get on my knees before the Lord for people's salvation. I would do everything but hit them over the head with the Bible because I wanted them to find Jesus like I did. Boy I tell you, I knew that I found the answer to eternal life and I wanted everyone to have it. It was like talking to a brick wall. The burden was so heavy on me that I almost collapsed emotionally. Then it was pointed out to me in Matt. 16: 18 That people can't reveal Jesus to anyone, this is the work of the Father, He only puts believers into His family by revealing who Jesus is. Here I was trying to do God's work and all that I was able to do was to muddy up the water. The best advice that I can give is to study, study, study, God's word so that you may be able to answer everyone who ask you for a reason of the hope that is in you and do it with LOVE. Let Christ produce through you what He wants to do. Talk the talk and walk the walk; let Christ LOVE shine. Someone once said, (what you do, speaks so loud that I can't hear what you are saying.) We are ambassadors for Christ, people will watch you like a hawk, so stay close and try not to do anything that will give the devil a chance to neutralize you in your walk. I sure hope this helps; stay in His Word and try to love them into the kingdom, and He will lead. CDBJ |
