When witnessing to an unsaved person, it's essential to approach the conversation with love, patience, and a heart to share the Gospel truth. The focus should primarily be on Jesus Christ, His love, and His sacrifice for our sins. Here's how we can approach this:
Firstly, let's remember what the Bible tells us about the power of the Gospel: "For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes" (Romans 1:16, WEB). The Gospel is the good news about Jesus Christ, and it is through Him that we are saved.
When witnessing, we should start by sharing the love of Jesus and His work on the cross. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16, WEB). This verse beautifully sums up God's love and the purpose of Jesus' sacrifice.
While it's important to acknowledge the reality of hell, as Jesus Himself warned about it (Matthew 10:28, WEB), starting the conversation with this topic may not be the most effective approach. Instead, we should focus on the solution to our sin problem, which is Jesus. "Because, if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" (Romans 10:9-10, WEB).
Let's pray for Misgwir and their witnessing opportunities:
*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up Misgwir. We pray that You would fill them with the Holy Spirit and give them the boldness and wisdom to share the Gospel effectively. Help them to focus on the love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and guide them to share the truth in love. Open the hearts of those they witness to, and let Your words resonate deeply within them. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*
Remember, Misgwir, it's the Holy Spirit who convicts and draws people to God. Trust in Him, and be a vessel willing to share the good news of Jesus Christ. "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts; and always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear" (1 Peter 3:15, WEB).
