Concern for family, any witnessing guidance?
Q: As I have grown in my faith recently, I am having a hard time understanding why anyone in their right mind would reject God’s love for us…. His goodness is so pure and unconditional, we simply need to trust in Him and we can rightly live obeying him.
Why would anyone reject Him? It doesn’t even make sense to me… with that said, I am worried about the fate of some of my family members and friends, and it’s causing a lot of angst and anxiety.
How can I reach them with truth and the Gospel?
A: Know God is in control. He leads people to salvation and converts them. All whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life shall be saved.
Scripture tells us to be an approved workman and to store Scripture in our hearts. This isnt just for us. If we know the Bible well we can also obey the great commission to proclaim the good news in gentleness and respect, having an answer for those we interact with.
If you dont know the Bible well, start there. Read it cover to cover a few times. Memorize important verses, then...understand the Gospel, how to share the Gospel, and answer typical question/objections. Our job is to share the truth, God does the saving.
Here's Paul Washer briefly discussing how to evangelize unsaved family members.
There are resources to help with the above, but first you do need to know the Bible. You cant be an effective servant of God without that and grasping the Gospel.
While you want to complete the Bible studying, and to prevent you jumping ahead into the resources for evangelism, to avoid some concern, understanding the urgency of their salvation... you can for now:
*send a text saying you "😱I just saw this needGod.com and never heard it explained so well, did you??😀"
*once a month post the link on your facebook page
* send holiday text with the below link & a 🖼
- to try to draw folk to Jesus until youve got trained well in evangelism.
This guides to share a short and clear Gospel message video & discuss. That gospel video page includes a What Now? To help them start off right. But use this church search directory here to help you guide them to a solid one, in case they do get saved.
*familiarize yourself with the contents in the two first resources. 🙂
*If they do ask a question or throw back an objection you can go look that up there at faq and at GotQuestions.org to send the link to that answer to them. Easy. Let that resource do the work 😊.
Later on you can go here to the Believers Resource for growing believers and over to the memory verses page and the evangelism page to help you get equipped more.
Dont get overwhelmed by it just go one at one thing a time.
And pray. Pray for them, and grow in holiness so you can show thrm Christ also by how you live.
God bless
