How to (and NOT to) Tell People About Jesus

[@thegardengirl]

Thanks for your passion Amber! I really like that you remind us not to go all "church" talk on people. Living by example and listening are the most important. Love these tips.

[@amberrodriguez1661]

Of course! Thank you for the support

One thing I would disagree with is don’t negate telling people what they are being saved from - eternal death, hell. Jesus preached on hell. We shouldn’t omit this from the gospel but do so in a loving way.

[@sundial6919]

Amen an Amen ! If they dont preach an give each same amount of attention both heaven an HELL theyre LYING to them

Unfortunately, you seem not to have sold your computer/ iPhone, tablet to give half your possessions to the poor. That eye of the needle... few will pass, yet you seem to believe you have the ticket in. Perhaps you shouldn't could on it?

Youre good at judging lets hear about your front row tickets you got plenty of em .lets hear it ?

[@hamster4618]

@@sundial6919 I'm not going anywhere. I simply observe the hypocrisy of one group of believers towards the rest of humanity. Somehow nearly every Abrahamistic follower seem to believe only he/she has the correct interpretation of that undetectable omnipotent entity, picking and chosing his/her way through the bible, and believing themselves to be the gatekeepers of heaven. So do tell, who are going to be in heaven, you and your church congregation and none other? How about the popes? What about muslims? And jews, will the jews go anywhere? Or will muslims go in but Christians left out?

[@paulmerritt8593]

Great talk but what about getting out there and talking to complete strangers about Jesus. This was how I first heard about him and I knew there was something very authentic about what these people were feeling compelled to talk to me about. There are only so many people in our lives to talk about Jesus with and only so many to be an example to. We need to do more I believe. I had many seeds planted in me and then watered by complete strangers that made a huge difference in my faith growing.

[@adelemaria2808]

These are some wonderful tips! I was just wondering if this method is okay: So, lately I've been commenting the Gospel (I wrote out the problem, aka sin; and then how all of us have sinned, and that there's a punishment for that sin; and then saying the good news of Jesus and His work on the cross, and how He payed the price for our sins in full; and then finishing off with saying how we now need to repent and trust in Jesus alone- and mentioning that Jesus is coming soon, and asking how i can pray for them) in the comments section for several social media on many posts, but for the past couple of minutes I'm doubting it? I need y'all's help brethren

[@HisBelovedSon70x7]

Sounds like you presented the gospel really well! I'm proud of you!

[@embervon7172]

Your doing well, sometimes doubt is the work of the devil to stop you from sharing the gospel. through christians online God opened my understanding and grow in faith. Philippians4:6-7

[@embervon7172]

Romans 10:14-15

[@freshliving4199]

Everything you just said is taught knowledge ABOUT God. Knowledge does not give you understanding. God does. What you have is a belief ABOUT God and that is why you have doubt. God does not doubt. If you were His child would you not take after your Father? Also, what is sin?

[@AxylusMaximus]

God uses so many different things to get the Gospel into peoples hearts and never ever stops working. I think you're doing God's work even if you don't feel great about it, ignored, or even disliked or whatever. You will be blessed greatly for your faith. If you feel led to share the Gospel in other ways like art or something else then feel free! Jesus will lead you and give you and the lost souls new life as you seek His Kingdom in humility and joy. Be strong and Courageous! Edit: Also I saw your profile pic and I gotta say I love Anastasia lol.

[@bibelimfokus856]

If we take a close look at scripture we will easily see that John the Baptist, Jesus himself, his disciples, Peter and Paul - all spoke and preached about repentance and hell. So why shouldn't we? If we don't I fear that we will "produce" lukewarm conversions. Jesus then becomes the "nice, cool add-on to your life" and not the absolute necessity. Not telling people that the wrath of God is upon them (John 3,36; Eph 2,3) and yet telling them that they need Jesus is like offering somebody a lifejacket who has not realized that he is drowning, or recommending a therapy to somebody who doesn't know or doesn't want to acknowledge that he is sick. Of course there is a way to do it. We are by no means better than the other person. So we shouldn't do it in a "I'm holier than thou"-attitude. I we realize that repentance is the way of salvation (2.Peter 3,9; Acts 17,30) that will keep us from "playing with souls"! And let's not forget: There is joy in heaven when one soul repents (Lk 15)!

[@Bootlick]

Letting the spirit guide you is the correct answer it could come out as a REPENT I LOVE YOU, I DONT WANT TO SEE YOU GO TO HELL DUDE! or it can be a nervous whisper about which church you go to and your love for god...introducing this is legalism. Obey God, get advice, trust God in the situation...just to stir the pot If someone felt compelled in your church to warn a friend about hell after not getting that far in the "studys" or there's 3 brothers who haven't shared there faith in 4 years and every moment are talking about playing the new call of duty and have no interest in evangelizing which person is more right...I think its about the heart, being sincere in your love for the person totally being at peace with whatever the outcome and motivated by grace.

I am a nonbeliever in Christianity and have told Protestant and Roman Catholic priests to their faces that I do not believe in the virgin birth or the resurrection of Jesus Christ and this was all done without them initiating a dialogue about Jesus, salvation, etc.

What do I tell my friend who's an atheist "because God is too OP"?

[@digitallifeline162]

Ask them why we wear clothes. Also ask them why we have a seven day week.

[@AxylusMaximus]

lol yeah, God is certainly OP but He's supposed to be (assuming you mean OP as in "overpowered" like a video game). If this is still relevant I'd say its important to remember that "Something cannot come from Nothing". No matter how you think the universe or the earth was formed or how fast or slow it happened or anything like that, an effect NEEDS a cause. We exist because something (God) caused us to be. Chance is nothing more than a useful term for math. Yet if one believes "chance" caused the universe (along with people, art, meaning, animals, beauty etc) then said person is still using faith to explain existence. Its just misplaced unfortunately. Almost laughably, most new young scientists are basically saying that nothing has made something. It simply cannot be. This is a small paraphrase of a teaching I heard from R.C. Sproul on Chance. It can be found on youtube but I heard it on spotify. God speed friend.

Before I was a Disciple, Christian Lingo was a turn off for me when I was corrected what I considered a bible study with a bible talk or Devo. I figured whenever we opened up our bible, we were studying the Bible. Boy was I corrected for not knowing the difference in the ICOC.

[@bonitalearningacademyadmin3210]

Thanks for pointing this out!

[@TheMinisterofchrist]

Ya...we are working on that..

[@mshamon1]

Sadly, that was a part of our church culture many years ago. However, I believe our network of churches has worked and continues to work to grow and change in that area and many others. I've seen amazing growth in the areas of love, patience, and humility in our churches. Hopefully, you have too and will seek to find the good and pray for all the rest. Phil 4:8 is a great verse to meditate on, because while it's easy to find and focus on what we are not good at, we often miss all that is good and right. So, whatever your group is called (devo, bible talk, outreach group, family group, accountability group, d-group, etc), do it as you if you are working for the Lord, because the name doesn't really matter.

[@johnnyraybaca1690]

A MUST READ..... THEN YOULL KNOW...!!!! The Shiny Handle...... So often we strive to“grab” the brass ring of Life as opposed to grabbing the brass handle of Salvation. In the Holy Bible we read, “I saw the dead… small and great standing before God’s Throne of Judgment.’’ And the books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the book of Life! And the dead were judged out of those books. [Revelation 20: 12] This is evidence that God keeps a record of ALL we do! A young man from Washington State was spending some time in the islands of Hawaii, when one night he had a dream, He felt GOD had given him this dream...and I would like to share it with you now, and how it transformed His life to Evangelize. He said In that place between wakefulness and dreams, I found myself in a large room. There were no distinguishing features, only the one wall covered with small filing cabinets, they were like the ones in the libraries that list titles by authors or subjects in alphabetical order. But these filing cabinets which stretched from floor to ceiling, seemingly Endless, in either direction, they had very different headings on the boxes... As I drew near the wall, the first file to catch my attention was one that read, “Girls I have Liked. I opened it up and began flipping through the files, at once I quickly shut it! Shocked to realize that I recognized ALL of the names written on each of the cards. Without being told, instantly I knew exactly where I was…inside this quiet room with all its small files was a catalog system of My Life! Here were written all the actions of my every moment in this life on Earth! Big and small in every detail, my memory could not even match its exactness. But, there it was a sense of wonder! A curiosity coupled with horror began stirring within me as I began randomly opening filing drawers and exploring their contents… Some brought me joy and sweet memories and yet others a sense of regret and Utter Shame, so intense that I would look over my shoulder to see if anyone was watching Me. Then, I looked in a file named “Friends I have betrayed” which was next to a file named. . . . Friends I have helped on Earth. “The titles ranged from the mundane tasks to the out right “wild, Lies I have told, “Money I have stolen, “Comfort I have given to grieving people and Gossip I have spread that hurt others in the process. Some cards were almost scary in their accuracy, even things I’ve yelled at my parents and other things that I could not laugh at...NOW ! as I once did. Things I have muttered under my breath about my boss and co-workers, I never ceased to be amazed at the contents of God’s files. Often there were many more cards than I expected and sometimes there were fewer than I had Hoped…. I was overwhelmed by the sheer Volume of the life that I had lived.! Could it be possible that I had the time in my 35 years to have written each one of these hundreds of thousands, possibly millions of cards of life's events? But each card confirmed this truth, they were all signed with my own signature! Then, when I pulled out the file marked T.V. and “Songs I have listened to. I realized the volume of time I spent listening to hour after hour of music and T.V. alone or day after day on my cell phone texting or playing on Facebook,... as opposed to telling others about JESUS! and what He has done in my Life. The cards were packed so tight in this file and yet after two or three yards, I had not even found the end of that file, it went on and on! I shut it and I was ashamed, Not so much by the quality of the music or T.V. shows I had watched, but more by the vast amount of time wasted in My Life. I knew that this file represented lost time for spreading the words of Jesus Christ. “Like He said in the Bible, “take the gospel to the “streets and tell other’s the “Good News” for their sake! [“Why don't WE do this? WHY? ] Then I came to a file marked Lustful thoughts, I felt a chill run through my body, with my heart pounding through my chest.I pulled this file out only an inch, not willing to test its size and I drew out a card. I shuttered at it’s detailed con-tents, I felt so sick to think that such a moment like this had been “Recorded” but there it was in black and white.! For all to see…. Then, suddenly I went into an almost animal like rage, only one thought dominated my mind, THAT NO ONE must ever see these cards! I have to destroy them at once. In an insane frenzy I yanked the file out! It’s size did not matter to me now! I had to empty it out and burn all the cards to hide my shame.But as I took the file at one end, and began pounding it on the floor I could not dislodge even a single card! I became desperate to cover it up.I pulled out some of the cards to destroy them, only to find out they where stronger then steel when I tried to tear them up! Defeated and utterly helpless! I then returned The cards back to their slots, then leaning my head against the wall… I let out a long excruciating sigh and then, that’s when I saw it! The title of the file next to me said… “People I have shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ with. The Handle of this file was Brighter than those around it, Newer, Shiny and Almost unused." I sat there for a second and as I pulled the drawer out of the cabinet, a small box fell right into my hand! Not more than three inches long, in this box, I could count the cards that it contained on only one hand and then, that’s when the tears came to my eyes. I began to weep and sob so deeply that a hurt started way down deep inside my stomach and shook all through my body, as I fell to my knees and cried out of the shame and guilt of it all. The rows and rows of all the filing cabinets started Swirling in my tear filled eyes, “No one must ever know of this room or All the things I did!...but most of all, the things I DID NOT! DO for JESUS!...I must lock the room up and hide the key forever. But then as I pushed away through my tears. I suddenly saw him appear “Please NO... not Him! NOT.. Here.! in this room...anyone but JESUS! I watched helplessly on my knees as He walked over and began to open the files and read out loud all of my cards, One by one “ I couldn’t bear to watch His response to what He had read on my cards and at that moment I could not bring my self to look upon His face and when I did, I saw a sorrow Deeper than my own... He seemed to intuitively go to the WORST boxes in my files, WHY ? Did He have to read every one? Finally He turned and from across the room He looked at me with such pity in His EYES. But this was a pity that didn’t anger Me. I dropped my head and covered my face with my hands and began to cry again. He walked over and put His arms around me, He could have said so many things but He didn’t say a word, He just cried with Me... Then He got up and walked back to the wall of files and started at one end of the room. “He took out a file card and one by one began to sign His Name JESUS, over my name on each of the cards, No! I shouted … Rushing to Him, all I could think of to say was Nooo! No! noooo... as I pulled the card from His hand I thought, “His name shouldn’t be on these cards! but there it was written... in Red, so Rich so Dark” so Alive the name of JESUS covered My name, it was written with His blood! He gently took the card back, He smiled a sad smile then continued to sign the cards with His name, I don’t think I’ll ever understand how He did it so quickly, but then, in the next instant...it seemed, I heard Him close the last file draw-er shut ! He placed His hand on My shoulder and said... “it is Finished,” I then stood up from the floor and He led me out of the room, “Forgiven”...! Have you ever wondered, how God look’s at your life? Jesus tells us that every idle word that we speak we shall give an account of on the day we die and to be judged by God!... [Matthew 12: 36 It’s our job as a Christian to first come to JESUS and then to Go out! and tell others what He has done for us!… So what are you waiting for??? You can’t hide the word of Jesus from others - Oh! “YES, and if you do!… you will have to answer for it at judgment ! [Matthew 25: 14-30 (talent is the word of God!) Jesus said to go out and tell everyone about him it’s as simple as that! Put TRACTS like this one on Someone's car, desk at work or seat at a sporting event or college campus etc…. it’s that EZ... to talk about Jesus... Do it daily…. Someone has all ready paved the way! When this tract was written for you My friend in Christ. You just have to make copies and pass them out for the “Lord ” Let it not be said I was silent when in need…! Let your handle of Sharing the Gospel…. be dull, not shiny and untouched on your day of Judgment ! and may God bless you as you tell other’s about…. Jesus

⭐⭐⭐ *JESUS IS COMING VERY VERY VERY SOON* !🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺 The return of Jesus is at hand! JESUS IS THE *ONLY WAY* TO HEAVEN! 📖 John 14:6 says, " Jesus says, 'I AM THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES UNTO THE FATHER (in Heaven) BUT BY ME'. *JESUS CHRIST* is the only, true way to Salvation! It’s the _free gift_ of GOD to all those who believe and trust Him! *SALVATION* ! is the redemption of one’s soul from eternal destruction after death of man, on this earth, by the cleansing of the blood, and by the death and power of resurrection of Jesus Christ 📖Acts.4:12 says. *Salvation is found in no one else (except Jesus Christ),* *for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be* saved." How is *_SALVATION_* gifted to man? For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. 📖John 3:3 says, Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be Born Again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. How can a man be *BORN-AGAIN* ? To be Born-Again in spiritual sense, is to die to our old sinful nature and be born-again in the spirit, to be holy, righteous with a new nature in Christ Jesus. 👉To be born-again, we need to repent & confess our sinful past for a holy future. What is *REPENTANCE* ? 👉 *_REPENTANCE_* ! Everyone born into this world is a Born-sinner. Human nature is a sinful nature. Sin in us has defiled us and has separated us from the Holy GOD! We have to repent for all the unholy, lawless transgressions of God’s commandments done willfully or unknowingly, in order to obtain mercy and grace so that we might not be judged and fall into condemnation, the condemnation of eternal hell. 📖 Acts.3:19 says,..✔️Repent, then, and turn to GOD, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the LORD. What is *CONFESSION* of sins? 👉 *_CONFESSION_* ! The guilt of sin and it’s condemnation is rolled away if one truly regrets his sinful past and confesses them in the presence of Jesus Christ. 📖Romans.10:9 &10 ✔️That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. 📖 1 John, 1st chapter & verse 9 says.. ✔️If we confess our sins, He (Jesus Christ) is faithful and just to forgive us our sins(every sin)... The sole purpose of sending Jesus Christ into this world more than 2020 ago is this👇 📖John.3:16-17 says " 👉 *GOD so loved the world* (us) that *He* (Father GOD) gave *His* only begotten Son *to die for us* ( our redemption ), that *whosoever believes in Him* (Jesus) *should not perish* (in hell) but *have everlasting life.* 👉 GOD has not sent His Son to condemn the world (us), but the world (we) through Him (Jesus Christ) might be saved. ⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩ *Dear Bro/Sis* .🙏🏼, You may be of any race, religion or creed.

God is concerned about your future and not your past. All He asks you is to repent and confess your sins to obtain mercy and have a secured and a blessed hope! 📖 Hebrews.10:17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ *If you say this small prayer with faith* . 👇 “ LORD JESUS, I am a sinner, I have committed so many sins knowingly and unknowingly. Have mercy on me. Please forgive my every sin with your precious, Holy blood shed on the cross to save me. I believe you died on the cross, you were buried and rose again the third day for my justification. I believe you are the Almighty GOD! Accept me as your child. Help me to lead a holy life.

You HAVE to tell them what GOD saves them from. Otherwise they have no East vs West, Saul vs Paul...no contrast. If they dont know where sin without Jesus will lead them then they will never understand. You dont have to cram it down their throats but you have to tell them. Christianity isn't about prosperity.
