“So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. 27 What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. 28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.”-Matthew 10: 26-28
It can be scarey these days to share our faith with non-believers. Christians, True Christians, are persecuted the world over. And that persecution is beginning to happen here in the United States. And sadly, it will continue to worsen. But the only way to salvation for non-believers is if we share our faith with them. And so we need to, if we can.
Here are a few suggestions some may find helpful. If you are struggling in your own faith, avoid non-believers like the plague. Immerse yourself in things that strengthen your faith, seek the support of trusted Christian friends, for nothing is more important than holding onto your own salvation! And remember, you are what you eat, lol 🙂
If you feel that your faith is strong enough AND that it can NOT be shaken by non-believers, than reach out as you can. But remember this, the outcome belongs to God. We can share, we can plant a seed, but ultimately every person is free to choose. A freedom given to each person by God Himself.
And lastly, if we hope to reach anyone, we must love them first. Kindness and friendship go a long way. Before we can really reach anyone for Christ, they must first know that we genuinely care about their welfare 🙂
“Love others” means loving both the people we agree with and the people we don’t. It’s not always an easy task, especially right now, but it is what Jesus commanded 🙂
