Leading Someone to Christ Scripture: But how can they call on Him to save them unless they believe in Him? And how can they believe in Him if they have never heard about Him? And how can they hear about Him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!” Romans 10:14-15 I used to feel like a failure when someone I shared the gospel with said “no” to Jesus. I put a lot of pressure on myself, and evangelism became a tension-filled obligation, rather than the joyful privilege it is meant to be. By God’s grace, this all changed when I attended a retreat on evangelism. The teacher explained to us that a persons path to salvation could take many steps. Maybe first, he said, they will learn about Gods existence and Creation. Perhaps later, they hear about Gods love. Still later, they find out how God sent Jesus to show us the Father’s heart, to die for our sins, and offer us eternal life. Even after someone hears the Gospel, it might take more Christian influence to help them believe and embrace it. Each interaction you have with a non-believer can make an impact, and help them on their journey to accepting Christ. Your PRAY NOW Challenge: Lord, I pray that You will equip me and place me in a position to share the good news of Jesus Christ. Open my eyes and mind as I look at the different ways of sharing the gospel. Prepare me for the way(s) that I should use. I commit to start today in any way You lead me, In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
