By showing them the way of salvation. Nothing works better than a personal encounter.

Most people can understand God is love so we want to love each other. "How can you love God if you don't love man." If we all work together fairly life can be a dream. Here's the rules. The main thing is to get it yourelf. "You save yourself an those who listen to you." Usually we have so much to learn. The first rule in teaching is to find out where the student is and take them forward from the things they know, their motives, what they expect to get, how they can get there. That means more listening than anything I think.
When you know where they are coming from you can answer questions in ways they can relate to. Read up on teaching, research relavent scriptures, study the topics they want to know about and lead into the ones they aught to know, prepartation. Thorough job on each one without boring them, but know your topic. "God is not a God of confusion." Have a vision, an overall plan and teachers use a lesson plan. I guess that's all for an extended bible study. Normally being prepared on the major topics, current popular questions and get back to them on what you don't know, you may need it for yourself even. Intuition is like guidance from God. You feel the situation, the other person and you really are working together so go down the road to understanding. They have insights and seeing from their perspective helps you get insight in the whole process. Everyone really has their own personal language and feelings and meaning for words. It's good to be sensitive to the meaning behind what you hear. I find women to be about four levels past what I hear or what they say. Sometimes just an ear shows compassion and love and peole are "won without a word." Isn't it great if they ask you what you have? They usually know from your comments or other people. What's is the setting, what are the issues. A few examples as that can change things considerably. I their of the opposite sex or young you may want someone else to do it if they show interest tell a friend. Pray and listen for the answers you tell yourself. The spirit can guide those thoughts that come.

I lost my faith a while ago due to personal reasons, and during that time, no matter what you say or said would make me change my mind. I am slowly recuperating it, but honestly, it's noones buisness. I think unless someone asks you for help, you have no business interferring.

Why do you think you have to help other people understand God? Again, faith is extremely personal. Don't force it. It will come if it's destined to. God has a plan for everything and for a reason.

The simplest way to council on God is with his mighty tool. The word of God is all that is needed cause when an explanation is needed you have the best reference.

Let them find God on their own terms and be there for advice when they ask for it. Religion is a personal matter you should not push on anyone unless they are looking for guidance. Otherwise you are as bad a Jehovah's witnesses who invade people's privacy and harass in the name of "Jehovah"

By guiding him. Don't just give him a bible and say read this. But rather ask him if he would like to read and study it with you. Take him to church with you and be kind generous and patient with him. It is never good enough to tell people about Christ, we have to live as Christ would want us to live. Treat him like you would your brother, as you would want him to treat you, And pray for God to give you the knowledge and wisdom to direct him as he would want you to. If you and your friend run into questions about the bible that you aren't sure of, here's an excellent website you can use, free of charge. www.askmeabout god.com.

First of all, you have to admit to yourself that no person can "understand" God.

As one theologian once put it "a God who is known is not God."

No one is perfect to understand or explain.

Best way is to ;

Discuss ( not try to educate others )

every time you learn.

When you discuss with someone whom is behind in knowledge, you win.
other way, you lose.

So, take the chance.
