Any ideas and suggestions on how to share the word of God with the lost ones?

Question

I am trying to help reach people the way God would want me to but I am not sure exactly how to reach them without offending them and making them go even farther away from The Lord




God Bless You

If you wouldn't mind looking at my previous questions about religion
Feel free to tell me where I messed up and what I can do to not make that mistake again.

Oh, I am talking about Christianity

Answer 1

Pray that you would have faith and courage similar to Paul's. Go out and boldly speak the good news of the kingdom.

Answer 2

to reach people do it with charity,kindness and patience. don't decalre you are right or push your point, sometimes just leaving someone to think about the conversation is sufficient. before you start the conversation or answer a question have a short prayer for the lord/spirit to guide your answer/question etc. some people are harder to reach than others so don't be disheartened,take courage and refuge in the lord. also if you are not sure about a specific topic about religion/faith tell the person you are not sure and you will research it somemore. other methods you could use can be s simple as spreading around fliers/pamphlets proclaiming the good word,even if it is at your church or local churchs, you would have to gain permission first though. hope this helps and may god bless and kep you. good luck.

Answer 3

Ask questions of other people and actually listen to what they say.

Think about this carefully, how do you feel when people tell you that you're wrong? That's exactly what you're doing when you describe us as 'lost.'

You're doing well with recognizing that a lot of prosletyzing offends people and turns them away. Congratulations, many never get that.

Now take it a step further. How do you want to be treated by others with different viewpoints? As a very wise rabbi said (no, it wasn't Jesus) Do not do to others that which is offensive to oneself. All the rest is commentary. Now go and study."

But study people, not just the Bible. We're beautiful and fascinating and complex. Especially because we're all so different.

Answer 4

Are you completely sure that you're right? Have you really seen any proof? And remember that the human brain can convince itself of literally ANYTHING. Seriously, it's scientific fact. It's how brainwashing works. Anyway, I am an atheist, and it seems to me that I am the one who is right. I love my life, and if you really read the bible you would realize that God is a mean old bastard. He constantly kills and hurts people.
For the record, how do you know that every other religion on earth isn't right? How do you know that you've picked the right one. How do you know you shouldn't be sacrificing yourself to Krishna or Ahura-Mazda or Yahweh or even Allah?
I'm not lost. I'm on a straighter path than you.

Answer 5

I think you should only share with those who ask. You can turn alot of people off by offering them info they don't want. Other than that your life should be your living witness. Your life as a Christian should be so that others want to know what you have that they don't. Remember, you alone can not lead anyone to God. It has to first be the calling of the Lord.

Answer 6

Just look for opportunites whenever they pop up. If you have heard a great speaker, look for a way to integrate that into the conversation. When someone tells you about a problem or tragedy in their life, tell them that you will pray for them. Get involved in service opportunities.
I heard a speaker last night say that the best way to reach those around is to show them love.
And the worst way to show people Jesus, condemn them to Hell and judge everything they do.

Answer 7

You could start by not calling us "lost."

I mean this with no disrespect intended, but this is probably the biggest thing that non-Christians find annoying about Christians: The way believers think it's their moral duty to get everyone to believe exactly what they believe. I'm sorry, but 999 times out of 1000, if someone has made a conscious decision to not be Christian, you cannot make them Christian! Anything you tell them, they've heard before. Any arguments you can make, they've already wrestled with in their heads and determined that they're not convincing. Any Bible verses you can recite, they don't care. We just don't want the Bible and we don't want Jesus. You might not agree with that, you might not even respect that, but there's going to come a time where you're going to HAVE to accept it.

Answer 8

Let others see the love of God in you. Sometimes ther is no need to say anything at all. Make people wonder and even ask what is different about you...what you have that others do not.

Blessed Be

Answer 9

You'll never convince me to return to the Christian fold and your concept of God and spirituality.

You want suggestions on how to "share" God's word?

Try not to beat us down with it and NEVER EVER shove it down anyone's throats.

Leave people to their faith, belief or conviction and give them due respect. If their faith, belief or conviction is false, it shall surely fall. But, if their faith, belief, conviction is true, then you shall greatly sin if you deny them their faith, belief or conviction.

Peace and respect to you and your belief now please return that peace and respect in kind.

Thank you.

Answer 10

That's the million dollar question.
But remember the preaching work is done by the angels. They are directing the work of informing people that there is something better.

People have to take responsibility for their own lives to get saved.

Answer 11

Invite them to church. Lead and show them the way, but it is only God/Jesus who can truly minister to the person. Having the empowerment of the Holy Spirit always helps as well. Pray that the Holy Spirit will give you the right words to say at the wrong time. In the Bible, when Peter and John were on trial or standing before the high priest and Pharisees, the bible says "The Spirit" would give the words for Peter to say.

Show them the love of Christ. I would say just try getting them to church and if they refuse, hmmmmm, pray for them.
