Getting to know a person is like
peeling an onion. There are many layers to the natural conversations we
have with those we encounter for the first time. Some of those questions might
include the following: “Where do you live?” “Where do you work?”
“Are you married?” “Do you have a hobby?” “What’s your favorite
restaurant” “Have you seen any good movies lately?” “Do you go to church
anywhere?”
Common questions like the above get
deeper into the person’s life with each additional inquiry. When done properly,
new acquaintances open their lives gradually without any sense of intrusion on
our part. Worldview Onion Peeling works the very same way, except the goal is
to understand friends' core spiritual beliefs that matter most for eternity.
How does anyone to effectively lead those they care about to salvation through
Jesus Christ?
1.
Devote yourself to prayer that is
regular, attentive, thankful, and clear for those that must have the salvation
Jesus offers.
“He listens
equally to the prayers of the believer and the unbeliever.” (Henry David Thoreau)
2.
Be wise in the statement your life
makes to others of Jesus.
“Something is wrong when our lives make sense to
unbelievers.” (Francis Chan)
3.
When you finally have a spiritual
conversation with the unbeliever, make sure your conversation is polite and
causes them to want to know more of your Savior.
“Whenever
God calls us to a task. He will equip us and enable us to complete that task.”
(Michael Youssef)
."People pay
attention when they see that God actually changes persons and sets them free.
When a new Christian stands up and tells how God has revolutionized his or her
life, no one dozes off. When someone is healed or released from a
life-controlling bondage, everyone takes notice." (Jim Cymbala)[i]
