Evangelism: Personal Conversation (Part 1)

When speaking to people about their souls, Christians should be friendly, kind, firm yet loving, and never rude. We should be “natural,” normal human beings. Do we wait to build a relationship with someone before we witness to them or do we witness the first time we meet them? Again, if we see ourselves as normal human beings, this will help guide us into the right answers. We need to be walking with God and praying for wisdom. As others have said, we need to pray that God would give us opportunities to witness. There are a number of questions we can ask others to help open up a conversation. “Do you attend a local church?” “What do you think is the way that we can be saved?” “May I tell you the gospel?” It can be good to have a “system” or guide to help us witness to others, but don’t feel that you must go through it every time. We need to know gospel truths so they will flow out of us as we speak to others.
