We want it to be easy for those who don’t know Jesus yet to find and follow God. Here are some ways that we can help to make that happen. In Col 4:5-6, Paul shares four ways we can become intentional about introducing others to Jesus.
1) Be wise in how you act. Actions really do speak louder than words. I know all of you are polite, patient, optimistic and encouraging all the time – it is just others we know who are judgmental, frustrated, arrogant, irritated and rude. People are always watching you!
2) Make the most of every opportunity – each day you have opportunities for divine appointments, so, make yourself available to God daily. When you see someone who is ripe for the gospel, be ready and willing to share your faith.
3) Make our words kind and pleasant. People are attracted to love, and love is like honey – besides attracting things, it makes things sticky. We want those who come to Christ to stick. We want lasting fruit, the kind that remains.
4) Give a good answer. People are looking for answers, and we may not know them all, but we have access to the One who does. As we share Christ we can do it in a manner that propels them toward Christ, instead of repels them. Remember it is the goodness of God that draws people to salvation, and we are sharing good news!
