Wrapping up our series, Knowing What You Believe And Why You Believe It; World Views, Truth And Evidence Part 9, Les Norman and Ed Croteau discuss how to live as a Christian and share the gospel in today’s post-Christian American culture. The number one thing you must do is know Jesus as your Lord and Savior. The Lordship of Jesus in your life is the most important aspect of witnessing to people. As it says in Colossians, Christ in you is the hope of glory (eternity). In John 15 it says apart from Christ we can do nothing. Everyone is guilty, and most people will do, say, or pay anything to remove their guilt. This is self-evident. But we get to be the ones to tell them Jesus paid for our guilt on the cross because God loves us. If as a Christian you are feeling guilty over sins you keep committing, you can turn to Jesus and release it to Him. If you are not a Christian and you’re feeling guilty, it’s your own guilt, and it’s real. Jesus stands with arms open, ready to take that burden from you and save you. An effective way of getting someone to the place of opening up is to ask questions and really listen to their answers. This is the most loving thing to do in getting to a place to share the gospel. Allow them to elaborate on their thoughts and opinions, and then you can ask them deeper questions. This gets people to really think about their stance and how they come to their conclusions. As you dig, they may find that their foundations for why they don’t believe in Jesus are pretty weak, and you can tell them about the good news and evidence. All we’re called to do is share with people the gospel, and let the Holy Spirit do the work. Ed Croteau teaches the Faith Substance and Evidence University at Abundant Life Church, Lee’s Summit.
